Topic: Mood/Tone (Section 2 out of 3 of your text) Assignment:
 * Meeting Two: March 16th**

1. On your group's Wiki page, discuss the mood or tone of your book. What is the overriding emotion of this book? What examples back up your claim? A Brian The overriding emotion of this section was depression. Marla has discovered a lump on her breast and fears the worst. She goes into a depression and thinking that she will soon die, takes a job at a funeral home to be closer to dead people. Meanwhile Fight Club is getting bigger and bigger. Tyler starts giving homework assignments that make members start fights with total strangers. This shows that the members are willing to do anything for Tyler, and are not afraid of losing the fight or getting arrested. Tyler starts a plan called Project Mayhem. This requires all members to be complete followers of Tyler. They have to worship him and do anything that they tell him to. They have given up on life and agree that death is the best option. Tyler tells the narrator that there is a car waiting for him and that he should get in it. The driver, who is a member or project mayhem, recklessly drives into oncoming traffic, scaring everyone inside, except for the driver. He trusts what Tyler told him and believes that is the best option, even if it means he will die. This shows that everyone is so depressed that they will do anything that Tyler tells them to, even if they will die.

B Grant In our second meeting we finally had food to fuel our discussion. There was a bit of discrepancy about whether the characters of fight club are fighting for the right reasons. We answered Cheerio’s questions and discussed the parts of the books that we read. It was interesting to see the differences in our prospective of the morals. We were slightly off topic when Steve said that he doesn't like swedish fish. We were slightly off topic when Steve said that he doesn't like swedish fish.
