Chapter 10, Part 2
At the end of chapter ten, a bird says to Billy, "Poo-tee-weet." This also occurred in the first chapter, as did the fact that there is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre. I believe that the "poo-tee-weet" symbolizes the fact that it is just as senseless as talking about war. Even though they are meaningless, they still exist and probably always will.

I think that "Poo-tee-weet?" shows that the people are able to understand the bird chatter easier than the talk of war. The people didn't know what was going on.
