 * Pg. 179: “At the Union Square station a seat became available...All of his greatest fears of his families safety seemed to lie folded within the bland envelope of that first word.” **

 * Pg.180: “All at once the, the shark of dread that never deserted its patrol of Joe’s innards rose to the surface. You cannot save them, said a voice very close to his ear. He turned around. There was no one.” **

 * -Joe knows that he can not save his family. Leads to fighting people with German accents(most people with accents in NY were against Hitler- not productive) and looking to his work for a chance to fight for his family **
