Theme: Appearance vs. Reality
In this quote they were talking about how he don't talk to any one because he thinks they are crazy, but really they also think he is crazy. They do not talk to him because he doesn't make an effort to try to talk to them.
Theme: Sense of Guilt
To me this quote means that we do something we know is wrong and we start to feel guilty. When we try to forget about it, it always pops back in our head and is always on our mind. It seems like it just follows us through life.
Theme: Rationality vs. Superstition
In this quote it is saying that you can not trust anyone because all of them are trying to stay alive and they really don't care about you. The only person you can trust is yourself and you have t watch who you place your self around.

Catch 22 Questions
pg 14 Yossarian means that the people that are in the ward with him are not crazy and if he goes to the insane ward he will start acting like a lunatic because the M.P. will not protect you. I feel like he believes that they will rub off on him. None of the ward liked the Texan man at first he was a likable person. He started to make the ward feel uncomfortable he gave them ticklish spines. I think the Texan man is insane because he talks to the man in white who never will talk back and that don't bother him.
pg 20 Yes, I agree with him because he thinks he is a superman. He is always thinking someone is going to kill him and is after him. Also I believe it because he doesn't want anyone to be over him.
pg 26 I believe this metaphor is appropriate because in war people want to watch and see what is going on and if nobody is fighting and trying to get things accomplished then they will not want their money to go to the war and they will stop wanting to know what is going on. I believed he used it because it fits perfectly with a war and its seems like to me a war is to entertain some one, and they do make money by going.

The Superstition of School and Paradox and Dream
Paradox and dreams. In America people say that we are lazy, stupid, and dissatisfied with success but as an American we see this as greatness. We work and are very educated and when we succeed, we are very proud of ourselves and others. We can say our government is stupid and weak but I think it is the best. We are a wonderful country.
The Superstition of School. The older you get the more mature you come. When you are young you may do things that you would not do at an older age. All people should have an education and all people should be given a chance to prove them selves. Even if you are self educated or half- educated you should always feel needed and be able to apply your self in many ways.

About Me!!!!
Hello! My name is KMM. K means wise child. Its origin is Hebrew or Arabic. I like my name a lot because it’s special to me. My name means a lot to me because I am a very person and have a great personality. I was born on October 10, 1990 to two wonderful parents.
My home is made of brick, and is a cream color with brown light brown. In my house there are four bedrooms and one and a half baths. The most special part of my house is the living room. When you walk into the living room it has a wonderful smell of New York’s candles. The living room is a very calming place. In the living room I hear many sounds, such as the T.V. playing, or my sister typing on the computer, that is in the kitchen. I love the feeling of being able to come home and lay down on our soft furniture or sitting on the living room floor looking up on the wall to see the T.V. show. The loving room is a place where my family and I have a great time.
Something that happened to me that I will never forget is when Hurricane Katrina hit. This was a very devastating part in my life. During Katrina all my family was at my house and no one could seem to get along. My room started to fill with water while me and my cousin was asleep. I got very upset because that’s the only place in my house to get water and my room is very special to me. Later on that week I found out that all my grandfather’s hard work he put into his whole house was destroyed and it made me feel so bad to see him struggle to come back up. I hope I never have to go to something like that again.
On my first day of high school I was very excited. When I walked into School, on August 7, 2008, there were many different types of people walking around trying to find their classes and friends. When I met up with my friend we went to our first period class, which was Technology Discovery. Then later on that day my classmates and I had to go to the gym for a meeting about the new environment we were in. towards the end of my first day of high school there were some older guys all ready fighting and I could not understand why. My first day in high school was a great day for me.
On my sixteenth birthday I had a huge sweet sixteen party. The colors of my party were pink and white. I had my party on a Saturday night at my house. A lot of my friends and family attended my party. For mu birthday cake we ordered a three layer wedding cake with flowers on it. My mom and I decorated the backyard with many lights, candles, flowers, and many other things. For my birthday I ended up with about six hundred dollars and a lot of other little nice gifts. On my sweet sixteen I had a wonderful time.
An experience for me was when I got my license and was able to drive. My mom and I went to the drover’s license place early that day. There were many people there waiting. When my number was finally called I began to get nervous. I was very scared that I was not going to pass. When I got in the car and put on my seat belt, the instructor told me to star the car. When I turned on to the highway there were many other cars so I became even more scared, that I started to go over the speed limit. When we got back to the place she told me that I passed but I need to watch how fast I go. Later on that night my mom let me use her car. My sister, my friend and I all rode around. Then a little while after that I drove us to the movies. I felt a lot better when I was in the car with my friends than when I was with the instructor.
Prom 2008 Hollywood Red Carpet was a very fulfilling night. All day long was I was getting prepared. The first thing did that day was went to the mall to get my nails done. Then, later in that day I went to shoe department to get my shoes. The around six o clock I went to Beauty Appliances to get my hair done. After my hair was finished I went back home to get ready. I put on my lilac dress that came from David’s Bridal. Then I put on the heals and the nice jewelry that my mom brought for me. Before I left home my mom took a lot of pictures of me. I arrived at the prom around nine o clock. At the prom my friends and I all took pictures and had a great time. After the prom we all went to Denny’s in Ocean Springs to eat. This prom was very fun and everyone had a great time.
In life I have many goals. When I graduate high school, I plan to go to University of Southern Miss or University of South Alabama. I plan to major in nursing. I want to become a BSN, and then become a Nurse Practitioner. After I graduate I plan to movie to Michigan. I hope to fulfill all my goals.
