Chapter Nine Theme: Appearance vs. Reality Quotation: "With a little ingenuity and vision, he had made it all but impossible for anyone in the squadron to talk to him, which was just fine with everyone, he noticed, since no one wanted to talk to him anyway." To me this quote means that people really didn't want to talk to him because of the way he acted, and he wasn't trying make conversation with them neither. He felt like he wasn't going to make a conversation with them because he felt that people didn't want to talk to him anyway.
Chapter TenTheme: Isanity as the Sane Choice of ActionQuotation: "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." To me this qoute means that he is tried of shineing his light to the people, and he don't see anything changing. Now he is wondering why he even started showing them things if nothing was going to change.
Chapter ElevenTheme: Hyperbolic PatriotismQuotation: "The important thing is to keep them pledging," he explained to his cohorts. "It doesn't matter whether they mean it or not."To me this qoute means that he feels that it is important for the man to keep pledging, weather they mean it are not. Because doing it is important and thats all that matters to him.

Blog 3
I think that I would be like Yossarian about not going to war, but alot of the things that he believe I dont. Like Yossarian thinks that everyone is out to kill me. If it was me in war I know that people or not just out to kill me but out to kill everybody. I would do anything I could to get out of war. Yossarian decided to stay in the hospital to get out of war I would have used other things that would get me sent home. The only reason I would fight for is freedom and.
“The only freedom we really have is the freedom to say no.” I believe that me meant the we as the people are not really not free. To me being free is doing whatever you want, and we cant do that. In a small way I don't believe that we really have the freedom to say no, but if you get draft they can't say "NO". So I believe that we don't even have that much freedom to even say no.
The rapid shift changes in the story makes it more intersting. It helps you to get a picture image of what going on. Like the hospital I could see all the people in the faking acting like they where sick, and the man who was rapped up. Also when they where in the tents I could tell that it was nice, and stayed clean. The rapid shift changes make the reader want to read more, because they want to see whats next.

What is the difference between the two conversations? In either case, is anything resolved? Why or why not? How does Yossarian's role change depending on who he is talking to? Finally, from what you've read so far, what do most of the other characters think about Yossarian and conversely what does he think about most of them? Do these two conversations perhaps hint at why these feelings have been formulated?
The first conversation between Yossarian and Orr was Yossarian was tryin to be all proper, and make it seem like he didn't care about the situation. He made it seem like all he cared about was not going back to war again . In the conversation between Yossarian and Cleninger, Cleninger seemed to actually care about the war. Cleninger seem like he was very sensative about even talking about the war. I don't think that either of the conversation were resloved because they both where worried about their own problems to even listen to each other. Yossarian character change because he was like the narrator than a character. People think that jehovas witness, but Yossariam think that they are crazy. Yes the conversations hints at why they feelings have been formulate, because he has lead lots of people so that will give reason to believe that he could be jehovas witness.
I think Colonel Cargill meant that men from the other countries are only here to kill people and win the war. Soldiers are not trying to befriend you only to kill you. They just want the war to be over so they can go home to their families.

Class Work
Paradox- A statement that expresses a possible truth.
Catch 22- A no win situation or to be in a double bind.
In the first story G. K. Chesterton talks about how self-educated people think to much of education. The paradox is that we as people can make it without education, but society education is what we need to succeed. I believe that we do need all the education that we can get. You can't get a job now without having a education. Self-educated people should continue to worry about education, because we need it to make it in today life.
In the second story John Steinbeck talks about how we contradict ourselfs about how overbearing the government seems, but we try to speard it all over the world. The parabox is that Americans complain about their government, but yet still trys to teach other people their way of doing things. He talks about how we feel that our governtment has no problem and is great, but we have homeless people and people suffering from not having a job. I believe that is our government was so great that we wouldn't have those problems and we should make a change so that we could spread it.

Phenomenal Woman Thats Me
PHENOMENAL WOMAN
by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret liesI'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion sizeBut when I start to tell them They think I'm telling lies. I say It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips The stride of my steps The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me.
I walk into a room Just as cool as you please And to a man The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees Then they swarm around me A hive of honey bees. I say It's the fire in my eyes And the flash of my teeth The swing of my waist And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me.
Men themselves have wondered What they see in me They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say It's in the arch of my back The sun of my smile The ride of my breasts The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me.
Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say It's in the click of my heels The bend of my hair The palm of my hand The need for my care. 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me.
