Outside Reading Number One

I am somewhat enjoying my reading up to this point. Catch-22 is not the kind of book that would really grab your attention at first, but rather waits for a hook, and then drag you into it's plot, making it so you can't put it down. With that, I think it's going to be pretty good. Imagery seems to be the dominant literary element so far, though I am not sure yet. One example is when he describes one of Yossarians bombing runs, in which the author documents his every action to show that he doesn't care if he hits the target, as long as somebody else does and he does not have to go back. He may be using this to enhance the books satirical tone, as he makes fun of all of the soldiers who are afraid of the jobs they volunteered for. The tone appears to be remaining consistent through each chapter, with Hellers laugh provoking dialouge and imagery at the forefront, engaging you in the book.
