The first step is to choose a passage to analyze. I chose to analyze the passage from Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. I picked this passage because a friend of mine gave me a summary of the book and it’s interesting themes, which sparked my interest to write about this passage from the book.

His laugh at the very end shows how he must view a man who is suffering from an illness as something humorous, which reveals how little he cares for his
