Summarizer - Dan C This week was very successful and we accomplished a lot. Once again we had no food, but I don't think anyone brought food. This let us have more time to focus on the book and discussing the section that we read. Surprisingly we had plenty of time to discuss everything even though we also had to finish reading Death of a Salesmen and study for Spanish. Once we finished discussing the part of the book we read we spent the rest of the time going over the questions that Brian made for us. We mainly focused on the characters of the story.

Questions - Brian Wertheim C

Why do you think that the narrator’s doctor tells him to go to a support group and see people who have real pain? The narrator wants to get a prescription to help with his sleep insomnia so rather than give him the prescription, the narrator tells him to meet people who have real problems in life like cancer or other diseases.

What does the narrator think happened to most of the men at fight club when they were being raised? They were raised by their mothers and so they aren’t manly.

What does Tyler teach the narrator how to make? Soap.

In order to have meaningful change, what must happen according to Tyler? People have to die.

Why does the narrator threaten to kill his boss? His boss found the rules to fight club left in the printer and was questioning why the narrator was using office equipment for his personal use.
