Summary: During this meeting, we talked about the ending of the book. The ending was very theatrical. We all agreed that is a very interesting ending. The ending scene has Tyler and the narrator in a room and Tyler is all bloody. The narrator told Tyler to stand up and as he does he points a gun at the narrator and puts it into his mouth. This was one of the beginning scenes as well. The whole group agreed that the writing in this scene was fantastic. There was enough details to create a picture. The vocabulary was understandable and everything else helped describe emotions of the characters. Nobody was able to have a personal connection to this ending. Throughout the book we were able to connect to the book because we all think about different ways of getting off steam. We don't fight other people who want to get rid of anger and stress but sometimes we will punch a pillow or do some physical activity to get rid of our anger.
