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.
I believe that Colonel Cathcart just wants to win the war despite all the lives who may be in jepordy.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Coloniel Cathcart is totally opposite when it comes to the war. Instead of decreasing the missionn he increases them because his only purpose is to win the war whether his soldiers die or not. The other is the only thing important to him.
