# data[].attributes.body
1.  We think that the main character is a bit of a coward, because his lack of activeness puts his comrades at risk.
2. We learned that a ‘Catch-22’ situation means when the reason for the problem is the solution.
3. We think that the Catch-22 situation will be the main character’s inactivity causes him to need to do more, causing his solution to be his own problem.

1. We were very efficient on creating discussion this session
2. Everybody chimed in with different opinions on the agenda topic and we truly delved into the plot
3. We kind of focused on Yossarian’s character and how he developed through the text

# data[].attributes.body
1. We mostly went over how war affected the characters and the plot and everyone got their own perspectives across
2. We spoke about the importance of hope within the characters and how Yossarian needed to obtain some
3. Everyone had their opinions and spoke out upon the section which we read

# data[].attributes.body
1. Everybody got their opinion across very well and efficiently. We each shared different viewpoints on the text as well
2. We spoke about Yossarian’s character and how the war affects him. We came to the conclusion that his opinions make sense but he’s being a coward in the moment
3. I think we need to use the book in our discussion more

Joseph Heller was born in Brooklyn in 1923. He served in the military during World War II and was a bombardier on a Mediterranean Island. He published Catch-22 in 1961 and eventually came out with a film. Catch-22 was his most successful book but he also published many others.

# data[].attributes.body
1. What is the meaning behind the phrase “Catch-22?” Does it come from the book, or did the book get it’s name from the phrase?
2. What is this book a satire of? If multiple topics, was it written in response to something?
3. Did the author do any service in the military? If so, how did it affect his writing of the story?

# data[].attributes.body
The background to this book was that the author had experienced war times and he wanted to express what had happened to him during his times. The book expresses many main things seen in the world during WW2.
