Catch-22 (11-10-08)

3.) Chapter Eleven
Theme: Hyperbolic Patriotism
Quotation: "The important thing is to keep them pledging," he explained to his cohorts. "It doesn't matter whether they mean it or not." What this means to me is that they are so desperate that he doesnt even care if they care or not about whhat they are pledging about so to hell with it he is saying.

4.) Chapter Twelve
Theme: Rationality vs. Superstition
Quotation: "The enemy ... is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on, and that includes Colonel Cathcart. And don't you forget that, because the longer you remember it, the longer you might live." What that means to me is that you can have a friendly fire or an accident because some one probably got trigger happy and your shot. So trust no one and make sure you watch your back and they could be on the other side to help themselves survive.

2.) Chapter Ten
Theme: Isanity as the Sane Choice of Action
Quotation: "There is no light. I don't feel like starting my generator. I used to get a kick out of saving people's lives. Now I wonder what the hell's the point, since they all have to die anyway." What this means to me is that he does not feel like trying to get all excited about helping people anymore because they dont appreciate it and that the people are still going to die right after i save them and he is tired of feeling like he did something good and then get shot down and watse his energy to help them. it does not entertain him anymore.
