The only freedom we really have is the freedom to say no

1. If I was Yossarian, I probably would make the same choices as he did but not for the same reason. See he did not want to fight in the war because he believed that everyone was out to kill him when in reality they wanted to kill everyone not just him. If I was to lie to keep from going to the war, I wouldn't want to be in the hospital the whole time. I'd probably lie like I got asthma or something of that nature. It doesn't make sense to fight powerful systems because we suppose to be free anyway so we shouldn't even have to fight powerful systems. One good reason that might be worth fighting for is more freedom and for a better life.


2. "The only freedom we really have is the freedom to say no." I think this statement means exactly what its saying. We're told that we're free but what does being free really mean. To me being free is saying and doing what you want, when you want, and how you want it. We really can't do that. Most things that we can't do, we can't do it because of rules. My rules may not be your rules so to you killing someone and getting a life sentence in jail would be justice but to me killing someone and you getting killed in return may be justice. As a matter of fact in different customs the rules are different. So I agree, the only real freedom we have is the freedom to say no but then again I disagree. If your being drafted, you can't just say no and if your selected for jury duty, you can't just say no. Everyone is curious about some things and other people want to know why some people act the way they act. so one might say..... This person seems happy hungry and relaxed all the time while another is stressing, going through bad times and hard ships and is curous to know how this person is so happy hungry yet relaxed all the time so person 2 asks person 1 what's the deal? and the person 1 says I smoke weed so I'm high. So person 2 in returns wants to be happy as well so when asked "Do you want to hit it?" How could they just say no.

4. The rapid shifts between the base and hospital keeps the reader into the book so they won't still be thinking base when its in deed at the hospital. At the same time it could confuse a reader whose attention spand is short. The base represents a more serious place than the hospital because the hospital seems to be a joke. I mean one ward is filled with liars and cowards. Liars because they're not really sick and cowards because they're lien because they're scared to fight in the war.
