Main Events
-
In the beginning of the book Yosarrian did not want to be in the war, not because he is scared, but because he doesn't want to keep working. What changes this is the death of his best friend Orr, or at least the disappearance of Orr, on one of his missions. This changes him into a man that resents war and only wants to live.
He is required to keep flying because the catch 22 clause the soldier is under. So he stays in the hospital as long as he can to avoid flying more missions. Once he is forced out of the hospital he flies two more missions. One when he lands to avoid killing or being killed and one over the same place that kills a couple dozen of his men. Sownden was one of them and his death in Yossarian's arms makes him fearful of dying and he goes back into the hospital after a short visit to rome.
When there was the prank flight that killed Kid and Doc that got to him. It made him see that everything can kill you and you can never escape danger.
Lastly, Orr is found washed up on a shore because he tried to escape the war by going MIA. He drove Yosarrian to flee to Sweden as a last resort to leave all the death behind.
