This shows how the novel portrays the insanity of the war at this time and how these people need help or to get out. The main part of the novel is just the insane adventures Yossarian goes on throughout his horrifying experience.

Sarah, I too have read Gone with the Wind, in fact I have read it twice. The first time I read Gone with the Wind was when I was twelve and then later on when I was 20. I have course read the Little House on the Prairie series was I younger as well. I did not really notice any odd words in those books to be truthfully but I did notice that H.P. Lovecraft used some very odd words that I had to look up. In some cases he used a word that was truly archaic and in others cases it was just an unusual word.
