Fight Club was originally a novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The book was made into a movie a short time after the book's success. The book was the only great success the author had.

    For this book analysis, I read the book A Piece of Cake by Cupcake brown. It is a memoir told by Cupcake about her life. She starts the book at age 11, when she was living a normal and pleasant life with her mother in San Diego. She was quite close to her along with her step father (who, at the time, she thought was her biological father), and her uncle. Then out of nowhere, she finds her mother dead in her room and her life is shaken into disaster. The court system had to turn both her and her brother over to her biological father whom she never met, instead of giving her to the man she was raised by. Her father then sent her to a foster home where she was raped and beaten constantly. When she first ran away, she met a prostitute and learned the trick of the trade. After repeating a process of running away and using hitchhiking and prostitution, and then getting sent back to the foster home where she continued to get beaten, she finally broke out for good and lived with her great aunt. She eventually got emancipated so that the system could no longer send her to anymore foster homes. Cupcake then turned to a life of gang banging, extreme alcoholism, and excessive drug use. After surviving a shooting at the age of 16, she vowed to god that she would leave the gang behind and she kept her word. As her life progressed and she moved from one place to another, the alcohol and drugs were nonstop. Although she maintained several steady jobs, she would always have to quit before they fired her for never showing up or being late because she was too messed up. After she got introduced to crack, her life became a living hell. Soon, she was a "trash-can junkie," indulging in as many drugs as she could find. When she woke up behind a dumpster one morning, scarcely dressed and more than near death, she admitted that she needed help. This is a non-fiction story and I chose to read this book because it looked interesting.…

    They all present unreliable first person views of experiences filled with regrets, mistakes, contradictions, lies, and fear. Readers pity Stevens for his blindness to the subtleness of communication, but Jack is also blind to much of life’s realities, without the lovableness to pity him. Contrastingly, the unnamed narrator is hyper observant of his surroundings; hence, he uses situations to his advantage or cleverly retaliates, like when he plays along with the racist head of Oriental Studies. Unlike Stevens, the unmanned narrator and Jack have more at stake if their identities falter, due to Stevens lack of connections and his profession; additionally, the unnamed man’s life is literally always at risk in some capacity, and Jack faces a toxic spill and tries to kill a man. Plus, the unnamed man and Jack have people they love that they need to consider. Mainly, betrayal of self results from the three protagonists’ fabricated personas. Each novel closes with the narrator existing in a liminal space, where the path they will follow is unclear; correspondingly, the novels’ ends are ambiguous because life is not just black or white, but each man has the choice to change their role in life. Still, the protagonists…

    At the Gym, written by Mark Doty; has no relation with being at the gym at all; metaphorically speaking it pertains to attending church. The narrative provided is from the author's observation of other people in the church. The primary metaphor of this poem is religiously based in the sense people have determination to release their burdens with the desire of overcoming tribulations through prayer. Many smaller metaphors inside the poem leading the reader to believe there is faith veiled throughout. This metaphor is explained in this essay by many other small metaphors; Salt-stain is really tears, the vinyl is from the pews/benches in the church. How this metaphor references something manmade, the association of grief emotions in this poem such as hopelessness and despair. While more positive emotions of relief and hope are set forth; leading one to happiness. Many hidden religious aspects contained throughout the poem are brought to light.…

    "There's a Wocket in my Pocket!" is an interesting children's book created by Dr. Seuss. At first glance one is given the impression that "There's a Wocket in my Pocket!" is just another fantasyland children's book by Dr. Seuss with a goofy cast of characters and amusing, memorable rhyme scheme. However, when one digs beneath the surface he will come to realize that this expresses a tale of paranoia and insanity that has been unparalleled in modern society.…

    There are many essentials to surviving in life. After the basic necessities such as water, food, intimacy, and shelter are met, finding your personal identity is the most significant to the dynamics of life. Personal identity can be defined as the distinguishing character by which an individual is infinitively recognizable or known. Personal identity makes a person who he or she is to be defined as. According to Greek philosopher Aristotle, identity is a concept that refers to the aspect of existence; therefore, the aspect of existence is something in particular, with specific characteristics. Finding who we truly are can aid in loving, identifying, and accepting ourselves. Notary short stories, “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” by Sherman Alexie, “Hollow” by Breece D'J Pancake, and “Until Gwen” by Dennis Lehane are great exemplifications of how the struggle with identity hurt or harm the develop of an individual’s character.…
