I don't really know where to start.
I guess you could talk on the influences that would have sent him schitzo. Also the ending and the whole blowing up the credit places would be real good. You could go into detail on the possibilities that might have.

Yes - Jack's alter ego (you should know this if you've watched the movie) is his "retreat from the global". Also, the whole thing about "fight club" is the men's "retreat from the global" in a way - it's a place where they can get back to their basic, animalistic nature.
Also, the whole thing about bombing the world's credit card companies represent's Tyler's longing for everyone to "retreat". At least, I think it is. Help me out here.

K so does that mean that we talk about the techniques they use to portray "global" & "local" personalities of the characters and stuff? Like I mean.. what would you make of their chicken fight bets?

Ok maybe it wans't chicken fights... it was people fighting bets... I can't remember
So we write a whole essay on the concept that the texts bring about but don't we have to show *how* they bring the concept about as well?

Well, my extension exam was yesterday.
The first one was about Seamus Heaney - write a speech directed at year 12 students studying RFTG, talking about how the concept of RFTG can be related to Heaney's poetry.
The second question was The Shipping News and one related text, mine was Fight Club. The question was an essay - "What characteristics of the global world necessitates a retreat in some individuals? What are the consequences of the retreat? Relate this to how this is shown in your text." And yeah, it was 2 hours altogether.
I think we were meant to talk about language features, but I focussed on concept... =/

God, we got The Sipping news for the next part of our study. How was it. I've only read through the book once.
I was also told not to watch the movie. Kevin Spacey can't pull off Quole apparently.

Yeah... well I read the book, I kinda.. well I didn't enjoy it, but I didn't dislike it. It was better than Seamus Heaney. I think it was because it was set in contemporary times similar (sorta) to us - early 90's Canada.
I recommend reading the book a few times through. At first there's a few bits that you wont get, but then you read the book through again and you understand.
There's some pretty good notes on it at sparknotes.com, but it's an American site so the notes are just general literary notes, not related to RFTG.
If you need anything, ask me and I'll be happy to explain or try to help.
