catch 22 blog post 5 luka brown


Catch-22
Luka Brown
Pages: 416
Author: Joseph Heller
Genre: Classic

“You might start a trend, and then I’ll never get rid of all this goldarned cotton” Milo is having issues with selling all of the cotton that he has bought. Milo tries to get Yossarian to eat it but sadly he declines. Also Yossarian is naked and his clothe is made out of cotton.

So far in the book Milo is having issues with his business. He even bombed his own airfield so the Germans would give him more money. He is also having issues with selling all his cotton. He even attempts to make chocolate cotton balls. The chaplain is also questioning his own existence.

The author was able to use the language to make the story more intense. All the characters have a strong American accent with some of them having an Italian accent. We both enjoy this. The vocab word we found was divulge. This word means to make something public

  1. This book sounds like it takes place a long time ago because of the cotton selling. Milo sounds like a clever person but his lack of money is holding him back.
