Recommended: Overcoming adversity

Picture this, it was about twelve o’clock in the afternoon when my brother and I went outside to play. We decided it would be cool to build a cool tree house in our front yard. So, we went to work right away. We grabbed a 2 by 4 with me on one side and him on the other, carrying it above our heads to the fort to be. Tyler happened to let his side down and me, not being strong enough at all, let the piece of wood slip out of my hands and it landed dead center on my head. My mom came running outside to my crying as I passed out. Even though Tyler didn’t support me in this situation, he does now. With him supporting me, being the strongest person I know, and him always being there for me has made me who I am today. Without him, I don’t know where I’d be. Tyler, you support me in everything I do even if it’s not the best decision. It’s like, if I’m in it, you’re in it with me. The biggest decision I made recently was a hard one, and you know …show more content…

We haven’t had the best childhood and I think that’s what makes you stronger. You’ve always carried yourself in a strong way and never let anyone in, except for me. You’ve overcome many obstacles in life and some of them I have gone through with you. We’ve gone through things many kids our age can’t even fathom. Yes, you’ve had your break downs, but so have I. You’ve taught me it was okay to cry, and that we don’t need anyone else but each other. You’ve been kicked out, yelled at, and pushed away by so many people but yet you continue to make the best of any given situation. You never let anyone knock you down, and if you did, you’d come right back up swinging ready to fight. I always looked up to you when you were in high school. People bullied me a lot and you always told me to not care what people think because it doesn’t matter. The advice you gave me always made me stronger and I’m grateful for that. You’ve always been there for me and always will

However I really liked it when I stopped him and taking charge, like I didn't know what i was doing. I rose up to the occasion and and just did it. So this is what bravery feels like I kind of liked it but I don’t think I will experiencing that feeling again any time soon. But sweet mother of jesus!! Look at his face juror three is so pissed like his face is as red as a tomato I hope he will calm down or something might happen like; I actually thought he was about to attack juror eight he was shouting and yelling at him.

    This book is written by author GARY D. SCHMIDT. That one would be one of the greatest book I have ever read. It tells us about Doug Swieteck who is a main character, his family, and the environment around him. There are some very funny and light parts in that. On the other hand, there are also some very sad and serious parts like tragedy. But I choose first one of two choices that I would call Okay for now a hopeful book. Because there is some reason to call the book a hopeful one more than would call a hopeless one in the book. I am going to give you some example of light and funny parts.

    In loving you, I am slowly learning to love myself, something that has never happened before. I’m always so happy around you, my heart doesn’t feel heavy in your presence. My walls are completely down for you, being so vulnerable is a scary thought, though I know I can fully trust you to be there for me. In the past, I have given pieces of myself to people who did not deserve them, my heart to people who used me, looking for love in shallow places. From the moment I met you, I knew you were different. I could tell that you were a soft and sweet boy that wasn’t only with me for what I could do for you. You showed me that love can be pure and untainted with good intentions. I know I’m not the best girl in the world, but I’m always trying to be the best girl for you, doing my best to make you happy in the small things.

  • Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club

    1260 Words  | 3 Pages

    “I had to know what Tyler was doing while I was asleep. If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?” (Palahniuk 32). When Tyler is in action, narrator is not contemporaneous in a sense that he is Tyler now. Tyler is someone who doesn’t give any importance to money-oriented world but he indeed believes in the willpower of constructing a classless society. The narrator is insomniac, depressed, and stuck with unexciting job. Chuck’s prominent, pessimistic, radical work, Fight Club, investigates inner self deeper and deeper into personality, identity, and temperament as a chapter goes by. Through his writing, Chuck Palahniuk comments on the inner conflicts, the psychoanalysis of narrator and Tyler Durden, and the Marxist impression of classicism. By not giving any name to a narrator, author wants readers to engage in the novel and associate oneself with the storyline of narrator. The primary subject and focus of the novel, Fight Club, is to comment socially on the seizing of manhood in the simultaneous world. This novel is, collectively, a male representation where only a single woman, Marla Singer, is exemplified. “Tyler said, “I want you to hit me as hard as you can” (46). This phrase is a mere representation of how to start a manly fight club. However, in the novel this scene is written as if two people are physically fighting and splashing blood all over the parking lot, in reality it’s just an initiation of fight club which resides in narrator’s inner self. The concept of this club is that the more one fights, the more one gets sturdier and tougher. It is also a place where one gets to confront his weaknesses and inner deterioration.

  • A Psychoanalysis of Jack in Fight Club

    1931 Words  | 4 Pages

    When we first meet the main character, only identified as "Jack", he has a gun to his head battling his split personality, Tyler Durdan. He then takes you back many months so you can know how it is he came to that state. Jack is a 30 year old single white male complaining of insomnia for over 6 months. His job as a liability consultant for an automotive company requires him to take frequent trips to different time zones, usually on a short notice, therefore leaving him jet lagged. This issue has endured for at least six months. He states he is in "pain" and wants something to just make him sleep. Jack states that on several occasions he has woken up in strange places and does not know how or when he got there. He realized that having blackouts (not due to substance abuse or general medical condition) was disturbing and unusual behavior. The doctor he visited dismisses his claims and suggests he attend a support group for cancer to witness "real" pain. An image of his alter-ego briefly appears at that moment. Due to his job, Jack does not have any immediate friends or family. He refers to the passengers on the planes as his "single serving friend." Jack begins attending a variety of support groups for ailments that he does not have in order to do something during his bouts of insomnia. After the first few meetings, Jack's insomnia seemed to elapse and he uses the meetings as his sleeping pill. His recovery is short lived due to another fake "survivor", Marla Singer. Her presence in his groups threatened his sleep because she knows that he is faking.
