Johnny Got his Gun end

The thing that was against regulations to do, was to be released from his prison of sorts. The military knew that if he were to tell anyone of what occurred to him, then they couldn't get any possible way of furthering their agenda. And also he wouldn't be able to die either.

Joe's dream with Christ, was an interesting moment. He dreams that he meets up with Christ, and plays poker with him and a bunch of other people who are going to die, and that was quite interesting in sorts. He then gets on the train,but chooses against accepting his fate and jumps out the window, and goes through the desert until he lies at the feet of Christ. Definitly a wierd dream.

Joe starts tapping as a means of communication. Joe's taps were actually a form of morse code in which he was trying to get his message out. Joe had mastered time, but that wasn't enough for him to tell if he was living or not. If he could communicate and someone communicate back by some means, then he would indefinitely know if he was alive or not.

Joe decides to master time because if he can master time then he can find out if he truly is alive or dead. His theory that if he can tell time then he can understand what he is in store for.

The Bell Jar, Ch. 15-16

The asylum that Esther is at is insane, and I mean that in the good meaning of the word. This place is like a country club for crazy people. It is so luxurious, and expensive, that it only makes Esther feel, a little worse. I feel like her life would have ended by her hands if she would of stayed where she was. Her life was going in a bad direction and only if she moved would of things gotten better, and they are starting to.

To start it all off, there are multiple things, and I mean a whole bunch of things, that are wrong with Esther now, and to list them all would take a considerable amount of time and I wouldn't end up fully answering this question. Her main problem is that she can't take everyone looking at her as some crazy person, and trying to fix her through various, usually harmful, methods. So she tries to kill herself so she wouldn't be such a burden on the rest of her family, and also she could end her torture of living this way.
