Jonny Mack March 25th, 2012 8th Blog Research Reflection

One of the strengths of my paper was my conclusion. I scored a 9 out of 10 and I think it was very well put together. On my next research paper I could improve my evidence of research methods and use of citations.

Jonny Mack March 10th, 2012 7th Blog The Life of Heller

I am researching Joseph Heller. I finished my paper last Thursday. I feel pretty confident about my work. For me, the most difficult part was getting the thesis and introudction written. Once I got it started I found it farely easy to use my note cards because I had them organized very well. I got a good boost by working on it at home. I feel pretty confident in my final draft because my peer editor didn't find many mistakes.

Jonny Mack February 15, 2012 Final Blog __**Characters**__ Yosarian is probably the most talked about character in the book and he is the protagonist. He is one of the bombers in the novel. Chaplain Tappman is a anabaptist minister. He is tormented by his rude atheist assistant, Corporal Whitcomb. He is a nice guy and always worries about his family. Colonel Cathcart is a group commander at the air corps base. He is always worried about becoming a general. He always raises the number of missions the men have to fly before they can leave. Lieutenant Nately is talked a lot about because he falls in love with a whore. He continues to pay her for prostitution even when he knows she doesn't love him back. He is killed a plane mission when Dobbs flies his plane into him. __**Summary**__ This novel takes place in World War II. It starts of with Yosarian in a hospital. He is always trying to find ways to get put in the hospital because he hates the thought of dying. There are several characters and they are always having there missions raised because Colonel Cathcart is trying to be promoted to general. The phrase catch-22 comes up throughout the novel because the men always get put in catch-22 decesions. Eventually the men start to go crazy from the war and men start dying. The book can be very confusing because the order in which things happen. I would rate the book a 2 because I thought it was very hard to read and it started off very slow. It didn't get much better as the book went on. I thought it was a very good way to interact with others that were reading there novels. It's nice to see what people think about the books that they are reading.

February 6, 2012 Joseph Heller is a strong man!

I am on page 325. To be honost this book started out very slow and I had trouble following it. There is a lot of characters and you have to really pay close attention to detail to figure out what is going on. [|Joseph Heller] did a good job going back to the quote catch 22. A lot of the soldiers have rational reasons why they could leave the war but they always catch them selves with the phrase "catch 22."

The catch Begins! "Thats some catch that catch 22"(p.55). While I was reading chapter 5 this was the main quote that stood out to me. It was very catchy to me because it is in the title of the book. When I first started reading this book I had no idea what catch 22 meant but now I am starting to get what it means.They used this quote because they were talking about the concern for ones safety in the war. They were talking about how Orr wouldn't have to risk his life and fly anymore if he didn't want to, but he continued to fly anyways. The catch is that if he quits flying he doesn't want it to look like he is being selfish, and if he continues to fly he doesn't want it to look like he is crazy.

January 20, 2012 Blog Number 2 Yossarian the Barbarian!

I have finished reading the first 3 chapters of [|Catch 22]. The beginning was pretty slow because it was basically just injured people from the war sitting in the hospital. From what I have read the main character that stands out to me is Yossarian. He is very different and he wanted to stay in the hospital even though he was feeling much better. He is very scared of the war and thinks everyone is trying to kill him. The Texan man makes all of them be released from the hospital because he knows that they are not sick anymore. Yossarian lives in a tent with a "dead man" and I still havent figured out if this man is actually dead or if he means that he never talks. I'm hoping as i get deeper into the book that it starts getting more into the actual war itself.

I chose [|Joseph Heller] for my author. The book that stud out to me was [|Catch 22]. It was published by Dell Publishing Co., INC. I know that it is a war story that is mainly why I chose it. I have read war story books before and they are very interesting to me. I'm hoping that this book is action packed because I don't like boring books. I don't quite understand the meaning of Catch 22 but i'm hoping the book explains it. As you can see I don't know a whole lot about this book. I'm just going to trust Mrs. Olson because she recommended this book to me.
