What's the Story?

Why did Joseph Heller write the novel you're reading/reviewing? What in your analysis of literary techniques led you to this conclusion?

Joseph Heller wrote Catch 22, to show that no matter what you do, people will never cease to amaze you. He is able to show humor through war, with the use of his syntax and diction. His tone throughout the book is depressing, yet you can't help but smile by the way he writes about his stories while the war is going on. Heller's writing is something else, but he is able to get across what he wants you to know.
