Johnny Got his Gun i-iii

Joe’s situation is that he was in the army and he was badly injured.  He had gotten in an accident where his face had gotten blown off, his arms were amputated and he basically was in really bad shape. The doctors somehow were able to save him.  He also lost his hearing and throughout this experience he gets going in and out of memories.  He is very confused as to what is going on around him and barely conscious.  Joe compares his situation to drowning because when he is unconscious and confused and relieving memories he feels like he is drowning.  Then when he resurfaces or comes back to normal it feels like he is coming up for a breathe of air.  He feels like he is gliding across the water.
