Outside Reading

For my outside reading project I am reading Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. I am not over joyed with the book. It is not the worst book I have read, but it's definantly not the best. I like it more than I hate it. Lets just say it's the best assigned book I have had to read. It grabs my attention pretty well. I enjoy the comedy in it.



I am not sure what the main literary point in the book is. I believe it's may be imagery, but I haven't really been looking for the other literary points as much. Anitating books is new to me, so it is hard for me to decide what the dominant point is. I don't think that it is very obvious though.



I am glad the book is written with so much sarcasm. That's just about all thats keeping my attention with the book. I think it's written with scarcasm to get the characters personality across becuase the main character is extremely sacrastic.

The tone of Catch 22 is very informal. When the people speak it has very low diction. The tone of this book doesn't really change from chapter to chapter. It only changes when the author is writing about the war.
