Catch-22 Chunk #6

Now basically the novel ends with Yossarian  going to rome to tell Nately's whore he is dead.  Nately whore is crazy and almost kills Yossarian by stabbing him to death..  He had the choice to be grounded an go home but he would have to basically work for Colonel Cathcart and Korn.  Yossarian didn't want to betray his fellow men so he diceded to run away.  Many times Nately's whore is trying to kill Yossarian.

WOW!! Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 really reveals humorous, suspenseful, and mysterious conflicts that assist in showing the magnitude of  an actually Catch-22.  Heller takes us into a world were everything ends up in paradoxical situation.  Heller manipulates the texts sequence so the story is told from past to present, yet still not in chronological order.  Heller foreshadows the death of Swonden yet we never get to hear the whole story until the end of the novel. He uses this method so that we could finally understand why Yossarian acted they way he did.  I have come to find out while reading this novel that a catch 22 all in all is a paradox. Just one big contradiction.   All throughout the novel something had to be contradicted, there had to be a "catch".  

Question #6 What do you think the quote "The spirit gone, man is garbage"  means ?? How is it significant to the story?

Catch-22 Chunk #5

In Chunk 5 of Catch 22 we go deeper into the story of Dobbs and we find out that he doesn't want to kill colonel Cathcart anymore because he has all his 60 missions.  Also in this chapter Orr had repeatedly crashed his plane, the last time he crashes in the ocean and disappears.  In this chunk there is a lot of death, McWatt  crashed his plane into a mountain after accidentally killing Kid Sampson.  Colonel Cathcart was mad and yet again raised the missions to 65.  Another messed up part of this section was that Yossarian basically killed Doc Daneeka off.  Its was said that he was on the same flight as McWatt and the military started to send his wife money every month.  With Doc Daneeka being "dead" he really couldn't continue his practice.  He asked his wife to tell the military that he wasn't really dead but she moved away with the kids and didn't tell him where they went. Colonel Cathcart raised the missions to 70 because he was mad about the death of doc Daneeka.  There is so much going on in this section. this book is crazy.  Joseph Heller manipulated the storyline very well, and he successfully  accomplishes the way the tone and the tense effects how the conflicts and all the event are portrayed.

Question #5 What is the purpose behind Colonel Cathcart raising the missions? Someone dying should make you raised the missions.
