Fight Club

Fight Club The main character who is also the Narrator, tells how he is exhausted of being controlled by our society. He works as a recall campaign coordinator, lives in a condo, and spends his money on furniture from “IKEA”, and everything seems to be perfect in his life. But he has no point in his life, his life is working at a job he hates and buying things that he does not need. With no point in his life, there no point of living for him. “Every takeoff and landing, when the plane banked too much to one side I prayed for a crash” (pg. 25).

They took advantage of them. “They’ll send something back to the kitchen for no reason at all. They just want to see you run around for their money. A dinner like this, these banquet parties, they know the tip is already included in the bill so they treat you like dirt” (pg.
