Catch-22

Chapters 1-5
There was a pain in Yossarian's liver and it didn't really go away, but it never got to jaundice. The doctors started not to believe him. Yossarian wanted to send letters to people that he's going on a dangerous mission and will write to them when he gets back, instead of saying the truth, which is that he's just at the hospital. Yossarian just didn't want to leave the hospital because that would mean he has to go back to the war, so he lied about his pains. Eventually he said his pain went away and left the hospital. Doc Daneeka said to just smile and make the best of the war. Doc Daneeka opened up an office and he got no clients, everyone in the area already had their doctor they go to. So, once the doctors began to be called to join the army, he got more and more clients. So, he lied and said he couldn't be enlisted because he's missing a leg. They eventually found out he lied and enlisted him too. The doctors there, Gus and Wes, don't really know anything. Many of the Indians decided to help in the war because they had no where else to go. Catch 22 is said that you're crazy if you want to go on a mission, but you're sane if you don't want to go. But, even if you ask not to go, you still have to go.
