Today in class we talked about Fight Club. We talked about how the narrator woke up in different airports. We decided it shows disconnect from the world. It shows he has a hard time telling what is real life and what is a dream. It shows that his life is fragmented. The author compares it to a projectionist and how they have to piece everything together. A good projectionist can place things together perfectly without a break, but a bad one makes it obvious. We also talked about how the narrator can loss total pieces of his life when ha sleeps and he may not even know it. We also discussed the apartment and how it represented him. It was described as a concrete shell. All the furniture in the apartment was all cookie cutter and did not represent his personality and his individuality at all. The only unique and individual thing in his apartment was the mustard collection in his fridge. It shows that he is still individual and different from everyone else.
