Chapter 8, Part 2
When Billy leaves the party to be alone, it is very clear how upset he is. He is so upset, because the song that the barbershop quartet evoked the memory of the Dresden bombings in his mind. This reminded me of how hearing a song, seeing a certain person, or even a smell can bring back a memory and the emotions felt when that memory was made. Sometimes the emotions and memories that are brought back are so strong that they can deeply move us.

I agree with Gina on this. Little things like hearing a song, or smelling a certain smell can bring back all types of memories. Sometimes these memories are good, and sometimes they may be bad memories. However, i feel like we cannot control whether or not the memory comes to us even if we want to hide it.
