Catch 22

Joseph Heller 's Catch - 22 is an interesting novel. In fact, there seems to be no place in the plot in the whole novel. It seems like a bunch of events summarized by the hero Yossarian. Before the readers ended, it seemed that these events were not receiving much attention no matter how powerful they were. And the meaning behind that book suddenly appeared. Heller worked to complete the book. By making Yossarian escape, the meaning of this book does not change. Catch - 22 is a novel that discusses the fact that the importance and value of a certain person may be quite different from others.

The main character of catch 22 is a man of Yossarian. He was an air force bomber during the Second World War. Catch 22 is a story about how Yosserian became crazy, but could not leave the Air Force due to capturing 22. Catch-22 said that as long as they did not request ground, the Air Force could not attack someone based on insanity, but if someone asked to quit, they said they had to stay wise . The story begins at the hospital Yossarian. His condition is not that much jaundice. Although he is really sick, it would be better to stay at the hospital than to spend the war. Yossarian prefers to do something rather than war. He worked very well in the war until his tail gunner Snowden was shot with a bomb and he died in the arms of Yossarian. Over time, this really started to annoy Yossarian, and many other horrible deaths he had witnessed.

After being published in 1961, Catch - 22 was very popular among the teens of those days at that time. Catch 22 seems to reflect youth's feelings towards the Vietnam War. A common joke is that all university students had catch 22. The popularity of this book creates an enthusiastic supporter, and as a result, more than 8 million copies are sold in the United States. On 26th October 1986, professor and author John Olddridge wrote an article in the New York Times celebrating the 25th anniversary of catch 22 publication. He commented that Heller's book predicts the confusion of the afterlife:

In these two novels, Heller criticized many institutions, "Earning 22 and being good as gold". Good as Gold is the White House and the government as a whole, in Catch 22 it is a military medical institution. In Catch 22, the army was seriously ironic and Heller was ironically criticized. An example of catching military and civilian agencies with catch 22 is the small competition among staff who showed communication hindrance and malicious competition to Heller, the influence of Wintergreen staff, which is a computer dirty that ran a major. Army and bureaucracy in the 1950s Even civil rights movement, which had not yet been popularized in the 1950s, was satisfied with the attitude of Colonel Cascade to soldiers.
