Yossarian is not a classic hero because, even though he performs heroic actions such as standing for the weak, having a bigger enemy, and overcoming a problem that tests his morals, ultimately he does not fit the stereotype of a hero, thus changing our perceptions of heroism. Catch-22 tells a story of an American bombardier who is at war. Yossarian isn’t the military man that goes to war and returns a war hero. Instead, he wants to get out of it because he hates the idea of war and people trying

their own personal experiences, the soldiers began to see that the enemies were like-minded and human too. During Christmas in 1914, a ceasefire between the French and the Germans occurred.

They probably responded this way because they wanted to keep the army

Love is a concept that can be expressed in many different forms. Some people can be happy with love, while others may be angry with love. Robert Frost’s sonnet “Hyla Brook” shows one side of love.

Willy Loman, whom people say is the protagonist of the play, shares a very complex relationship with many different people in his life, specifically, his eldest son Biff.
