Fight Club #2

As I kept on reading Fight Club, I began to realize that a big question laid on it. Since Fight Club talks a lot about treatments or cures about people with diseases or who have mental disorders, I realized the question. “How should people with diseases or mental disorders be treated or cured?” In Fight Club, it really suggests that by fighting is the real way to cure. But the book also supports that support groups also help into curing someone. But the book mainly supports into fighting for treatment. The fights are very organized and have rules.

In my opinion, I think fighting would be a good way of treating things but not curing. I think it would be a good treatment because it releases adrenaline, something that does not come out from support groups. Fighting would also be helpful because it would take out their anger. This anger might be from anything, and would enlighten them, the fighters. Fighting would also bring a sense of trust and confidence. As it says in the book, “This guy trusts himself to handle anything. (51)”. This quote shows that people who fight get confidence and are not scare of anything. By this, it shows that fighting somewhat does treat people with confidence and trust. I think this would be very successful if it were organized like in Fight Club. If it were not to be organized, then I think it would not be as effective because some people would take it too far.

Support groups also are good for treatment. Support groups are good as well because it lets people come out of their comfort zone by telling others. It also allows people to cry comfortably, even if they were not expecting to cry. Also in the book, “At almost every meeting since then, Big Bob has made me cry. (22)”. This quote shows that even if the narrator did not want to cry, he somehow did in support groups with certain people, in this case Big Bob. By the way, I say narrator because it is not clear of who is the person talking, which is narrator.

I really recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a real plot twisting ending. Good book, could have been better.

Note to self: In next one, talk about how book could have been better.
