The little exchange between Yossarian and Orr is quite comical, as Yossarian continually asks why Orr talks with objects in his mouth, which just leads to another set of questions.
It was also interesting how the soldiers all didn't know who T.S. Eliot was and how they kept taking turns asking who he was.
They're incessant questioning of things renders me as childish at times yet it is slightly humorous.
The symbol of flight doesn't represent freedom in these early chapters, as Yossarian's only objective to fly up is to come back down safely. In Doc Daneeka's case, the airplane is restrictive for him, as he feels claustrophobic and trapped within the boundaries of the plane.
Yossarian's paranoia is irritating...but it makes me want to read on.
