3rd block Rationale – Putting the picture in black and white gives the viewer a better sense of time, as in when and where the story takes place. The watermarks around the edge are used to signify how the Bombardiers were mostly used to take pictures of bomb runs instead of actually fighting most of the war. The WWII Bomber plane shows to the viewer that the story takes place during a war. Within the book the squadron’s number of missions is constantly being raised by the colonel to receive a promotion. I chose to place tally marks in the photo to show how the men were always counting their missions so that they might go home.

Cox, Chris. "Catch-22: 50 years later." //theguardian//. (2011): n. page. Web. 27 Mar. 2013. . This article talks about how the book was written so well it is claimed to be “a bureaucratic idiocy so sublime it leaves you staring out the window with wonder.” The book is so uniquely written that it engages the reader further into the book. “Catch-22's circular logic makes me immediately go back and read it again.” No matter how hard the reader tried to make sense of the book, they cannot. The way Catch-22 works is in nonstop circles, a way that keeps the reader asking “what if?”

Stern, Richard. "Bombers Away; CATCH-22. By Joseph Heller. 443 pp. New York: Simon & Schuster. $5.95." //New York Times//. (1961): n. page. Web. 27 Mar. 2013. . "CATCH-22 has much passion, comic and fervent, but it gasps for want of craft and sensibility.” This article evaluates the way Heller loved his book but also points out how it lacked in many areas keen to any novel. Heller’s book had great stories, was put together perfectly, but was not able to maintain any real emotion towards the story. The novel is not chronologically put together for the reason of demonstrating the insanity, yet in doing so he loses the reader many times in the novel.

Prescott, Orville. "Book of The Times." //New York Times//. (1961): n. page. Web. 27 Mar. 2013. . The critic of this novel claims the book to be “not an entirely successful novel.” Yet being that the article was written around the time the book was published, the critic has little idea of what success the book actually had. The critic also claims the book to be “wildly original, brilliantly comic, brutally gruesome, it is a dazzling performance that will probably outrage nearly as many readers as it delights.” This comment proves to be true because there was at one point where the book was challenged for its content; many people enjoy the book while others have become “outraged.”

"Catch 22 – Wendy’s Thoughts." //Banned Books//. N.p., 04 NOV 2007. Web. Web. 27 Mar. 2013. .

This article states that Catch-22 was banned because it was considered "dangerous" for objectionable language and for sexual references. Strongsville, Ohio was the first to call this decision in 1972. The Dallas, Texas, Independent School District high school libraries challenged this decision in 1974. Strongsville, Ohio’s decision was overturned in 1976, but in 1979 it was challenged again in Snoqualmie, Washington.

"Catch-22 Historical Information." //American Literature D//. Lincoln Public Schools. Web. 28 Mar 2013. . This article is about the history of the story. It states that most of the novel is set in Italy during the last year of WWII. Although it is about WWII it is written with the tone that is “shaped by the events of the 1950s .” Being that it was written with 1950’s views; the book has a more “unpopular” attitude towards all wars pointing out the bureaucracy that keeps the men in the war. Knowing more factual information from this article sympathizes for the men of the war.
