What's the Story

Joseph Heller wrote Catch-22 to share ideas of morals and personal decision making. The time period when Heller wrote this novel is during an intellectual revolution in the United States. Heller's use of satire and irony is to make war seem like a funny idea. These literary techniques led me to the conclusion that Heller was apart of this revolution to have readers rethink their morals. The plot revolves around WWII but the theme is making decisions for yourself. I got this idea from when he fleas the military to Sweden.
