Catch-22

"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.

"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.

"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

Critique #2

This piece is called Stranded, and it is painted by alias EthicallyChallanged. The medium is acrylic on canvas, and it features a fantastical forest scene, filled with Easterish rabbits and butterflies and bright, pastel colors. Sitting solemnly under a tree is a hideous looking troll, staring glumly forward.

The piece focuses mainly on contrast, both in hue and in subject matter. The background colors are mainly bright and happy, helping make the sludge colored troll stand out even more in his unmatching landscape. The painter balances the piece with the inclusion of flowers in the foreground bushes, balancing out the heavy left side. One flaw is his right leg is substantially larger than his left, and there are several instances of smudged paint.

The work centers around the unhappy Grum. He used to be a well feared troll from his homeland, but after a series of terrible events which separated him from his cave, he wandered around aimlessly until collapsing from exhaustion under a nearby tree. As he awoke, he saw many disgustingly adorable creatures flirting about. In the old days, he would have stormed through, frightening them away as fast as the wind. But he was just too homesick to cause any more mischief that morning. Besides, the bunnies look kinda cute.
