Journal Entries 3 and 4:Novel Motif and Intended Messages:• I found that there were numerous motifs that Heller was striving to achieve. The first was to smear the name of the war and the people involved, this in itself is not a difficult thing to do, however he did it in a way that really belittled the intelligence of the people involved at the top; Cornel Cathcart is considered a neurotic who constantly doubted his command and constantly received "black eyes" from his superiors as a result of the increased mission, but raised them again, Major Major spoke to no one and was uniformly hated by people who they didn't know him, and Scheisskopf was obsessing over the march to no avail.• It was also likely to be an "exposé" about the life of a bombardier during World War II. To give people an idea of ​​what might happen to you if you were to take part in a war. Eventually Yossarian is faced with the sad reality that most of his friends are dead or at least estranged from him, gone mad (Aarfy and McWatt), killed in action (Dobbs, Natley and Clevenger) or missing (Dunbar). . He shows a slow process of mental deterioration over the course of the novel. • Heller was also making fun of bureaucracy which can be best summed up by the example of Yossarian moving the bomb line in the middle of the night and the days it took rather than fixing it. He can, however, be personified by Lieutenant Colonel Korn, Colonel Cathcart, and General Dreedle. As the ranks rise, they seem to become more and more incompetent, each totally lost in making decisions without the other. • The last of Heller's motives was to show what having a conscience in the military would do for you. The two examples that are... in the middle of the paper... sadly remind me of the current state of affairs in America. Cathcart can't make a decision on his own and needs Korn's support, but at the same time he hates Korn and can't let him seem intelligent or supportive to others. What I just described is Congress, which, if it were on fire, could not pass Congress's poor bill. Milo, of course, is every major American bank that said that the high-risk, high-interest loans they were handing out were best for everyone because they would spur economic growth. What the public didn't know is that the banks had removed all safety policies (CO2 tanks in life jackets) from these policies and almost collapsed the global economy. Milo did something similar by not flying any missions, putting a strain on the squadron's soldiers and instead forcing them to fly more missions
