1-3; Catch-22
Chapter Thirty – Six
The Chaplain is dragged by military men to prison because of unspecified crimes. Then they let him go till they decide the punishment. He then goes to the colonel to ask that the number of missions be lowered. But the colonel gives him a half answer. And that they have replaced others that would be sympathetic to what the Chaplain is saying.
These military commanders are no better than a two year old. Even my four year old brother would no when enough is enough. Instead they replace those with a conscious with those with an I.Q. of an infant, whose only thought is for their own gain and enjoyment. Pitiful.
Chapter Thirty – Five
Nately finishes his missions, but won’t go home till he can take his whore with him. Yossarian is mad because that would mean that the number of missions will be raised. So Yossarian tries to stop it. In the end Nately and Dobbs are killed and the mission numbers go up to eighty.
To have made the number and then to not go home, that is something I just can’t imagine. What’s worse to be killed on a mission you didn’t have to be on. That is a tragic situation.
Chapter Thirty – Four
Yossarian and Company get drunk over Thanksgiving, and Yossarian breaks Nately’s nose. In the morning the youngsters start shooting Machine guns, as a prank, and Yossarian gets his gun to get revenge. When Nately tries to stop him Yossarian break his nose yet again. Nately goes to the hospital and Yossarian apologizes.
Only idiots would fire machine guns in camp for a prank. I would have had them hanging from their toes for a week for doing such a thing. I sure hope this isn’t the depiction of real military life. That would be horrible.
10-3; Catch-22
Chapter Thirty – Three
Nately’s whore is falling in love with Nately. Nately wants her and her sister to move back to the states, where they could become a family. Nately’s whore is outraged that she wouldn’t be able to do her line of work, so they argue. In the end Yossarian breaks Nately’s nose for her.
I don’t agree with whores work, but I am glad she is finding some happiness. Maybe if she stops she can help Nately from being so insane. But it probably won’t work.
Chapter Thirty – Two
Yossarian’s Roommate is dead so the officers assign him four new, young officers. Who insist on calling him Yo-Yo and make him feel murderous. When the new people start changing things Yossarian panics and flees for
Yossarian deserves to have those idiots in his tent. He’s and idiot himself he can handle it. I’m surprised they let him leave though. The officers just let him go to
Chapter Thirty – One
Doc, who had Yossarian forge his flying time, is considered dead after the plane he was suppose to be on crashed. His wife is given compensations for her husband’s death. But he isn’t dead he is quite well and alive. He writes a letter to her, but she ignores it and moves so he can’t contact her.
That’s just sad that his wife would leave him for money and because guys started flirting with her now that Doc’s presumed dead. And then to leave with their children. That’s just sad.
9-3; Catch-22
Chapter Thirty
McWatt commits suicide after hitting Kid Simpson with his plane at the beach. Yossarian had yelled at him earlier about his reckless flying. But the whole squad is devastated, even the Colonel. The colonel is so devastated so he raises the mission numbers.
That is sad that McWatt would be forced enough to even think about suicide. I can’t imagine believing there wasn’t anything at all to live for. That’s just horrible.
Chapter Twenty – Nine
There is a transfer of personal and most people are mad about it. But the Colonel is mad because that means he has to give the briefings. Nothing much in this chapter of interest.
This was a boring chapter about the politics in the Army/Air Force thing. It was very boring and uninteresting.
Chapter Twenty – Eight
One of the men crashed his plane in the ocean and had to be rescued, because
Although I don’t think it was wise to take the Carbon Dioxide out of the vests, it was funny that he used it to make sodas.
Chapter Twenty – Seven
Yossarian says he’s insane again and says he keeps seeing fish. So he sees the hospital psychiatrist who would rather talk about his problems not Yossarians’. When Yossarian say he believes everyone string to kill him the psychiatrist decides to send him home, but with the mix up with the patients they end up sending someone else home.
This is hilarious, Yossarian finally gets to go home and they send someone else. I guess that will teach him to pull pranks in the hospital ever again.
Chapter Twenty – Six
Yossarian finally gets wounded for real and has to be taken to the hospital for a leg wound. He and Dunbar are both there. So they decide to switch beds to confuse the nurses. But the nurses figure it out pretty soon and send Yossarian back to his bed by the ear.
I think that is something I would like to try. I wouldn’t like the consequences but at least it would be fun. I guess in war time you have to do something to lighten the mood.
Chapter Twenty - Five
The Chaplain has become terribly depressed. No one listens and no one will take him seriously. He believes he has a vision of a naked man, who happens to be Yossarian, walk around at a funeral. He has begun to doubt even God.
I know how he feels, to feel like no one cares. But unlike him I know that God does and that he is there.
