Chapter 6: Response/Thoughts

In this chapter, poor old Edgar Derby is elected to be the leader of the Americans who are being shipped to Dresden. Edgar was nominated because of his maturity and long time of dealing with people. When I read this, and I looked back on it; it reminded me of high school sports. The oldest player, senior, is expected to lead his/her team. Edgar was the most mature man, therefore making him the "senior." Edgar took responsibility over the rest of the Americans, wanting nothing but saftey for them. He wanted a win; nobody getting killed.
