A. The difference between the two conversations is that when Yossari and Orr was talking Yossari was more sarcastic and none caring about the situation. His only problem was that he didnt want to go to war, so he just told the people his liver was hurting. But Clevenger seemed to care more about his situation. The problems were not solved in either situations because they were all worried about their own problems. He switches role and ask question when he's talking to different people. He thinks that they are insane and they think he is jehovas witness.C. When he makes that statement, he's saying that if the guy go to the other wards that he will become insane and if he comes back to that ward being insane that they will become insane also, because being insane is contagious.D. I agree because he thinks that every one is a Jehovah. Thinking that everyone is a Jehovah, he developes characteristics of a Jehovah, which is what he blaim other people of being. He says one thing one minute and switches his thoughts another minute.

When Captain Black was talking to his cohorts and he said this quote it goes with his thoughts of true Patriotism or the loyalty of people to their country. He believed that the more loyalty papers signed the more loyal a person was. He gave the example of why people make young children pledge allegiance before they truly know what they are doing.4) When Yossarian said this quote to Clevinger he meant that it is possible to be killed in the line of duty by anyone. Saying this lead me to believe that an enemy is one that harms you and killing a person is the utmost harmful. So, it is false because everyone isn't out to get just one person, but the problem in life is, everyone for themselves and when a person looks out for themselves they are mostly kept from the harm of others.5) When Colonel Cathcart addressed Colonel Korn with this quote he seemed to be sarcastic because Yossarian didn't drop his bombs the first time and went around twice. So, he wanted to make Yossarian look like a fool because of his act. They decided to make him captain because he was "brave" enough to go around the target twice. The sense of guilt was Yossarian had messed up so he was already guilty now he had the Colonel's rubbing it in his face, for trying to do his duty.

Catch

catchs
a. ~ Compare Orr and Yossarian's conversation on pp. 23-24 to the dialogue exchanged between Clevinger and Yossarian on pp. 16-17 and 19-20. What is the difference between the two conversations? In either case, is anything resolved? Why or why not?the difference between both conversations is that in one of them is that he is doesnt really care about one of the conversation at all, and the other one he is caring. i dont think that the resolve anything.

Question 1

If I were in Yossarian position, I would not fight the powerful system. I would have fought the system. The system is a powerful thing to try and go against. This is made to better the people, not to harm anyone. There will be real serious complications when trying to go against them. The causes i think are worth fighting for would be protecting your troops and also yourself.

CATCH-22

Catch - 22 is a satorical, historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller.

My opinion is that Catch-22 is a problem without an solutions.

Paradox is an juxtapostion of incongruous ideas for the sake of striking exposition or unexpected insight.
