“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.”
This is the essence of Catch-22… and Catch-22. Both of them are confusing and understandable. The reader will either love the novel, will be offended by the novel, or will be totally confused and unable to comprehend even their own feelings on it. I myself fall under the category of “love the novel”, but I can understand any of the standpoints. In fact, I love it because it is confusing and offensive.

From wikipedia:
Prudence Crandall, (Sept. 3, 1803-Jan. 28, 1890) a schoolteacher raised as a Quaker, stirred controversy with her education of black girls in Canterbury, Connecticut. Her private school opened in January 1832, was boycotted when she admitted a 20-year old black female student in the autumn of 1833, creating what is generally regarded as the first integrated classroom in the United States. Parents of the white children mostly withdrew their daughters, leading Crandall to found a school for "Young ladies and Misses of colour".
