I was asked if you "needed a bibliography." If ANY of you had come to get the handout I said you needed to get from me today, you would know the answer. (Thank you, Justin) Ya'll better jump on it.

WATCH FIGHT CLUB
Don't forget or you're dead!!!
Before watching Fight Club, answer these questions about your personal beliefs:
1. What is the meaning of life?
2. What is our purpose?
3. Do you think we were created by God?
4. Do you believe we evolved from primates?
5. Do you believe we are reincarnations of people from the past?
6. Do you believe in fate or destiny?
7. How do your beliefs affect your thoughts and actions?
8. What if you believed life had no meaning, or that we are here as a consequence of circumstances beyond our control? How would this belief affect you?
After you watch Fight Club, I want you to think about how the protagonist would answer these questions. In addition, bring in a bulleted plot summary. (Maybe pause the movie every 15-20 minutes to write down some notes on the plot so you can discuss it properly)
