Tyler Durden Qualities

Michael Jordan is the best player who has even competed in the NBA. In the course of 16 years Jordan has created a name for himself and has made history in the NBA. Michael Jordan has become the best player through, winning six championships, earning five MVP awards, and making himself a house hold name.

Leading up to the First World War (WWI) was a series of crises -- Serbian unification efforts, the Ten-Point Ultimatum from Austria to Serbia, the Kruger Telegram, the Dreadnought Race, the Moroccan Crises of 1905 and of 1911, the Balkan Wars, and the Bosnian Crisis -- that generated significant conflict and division among the countries of Europe, all of which seemed to lay the foundation for the start of WWI. With concern for its own power and security in a rapidly changing Europe, Germany set out to undermine the power of as well as the alliances between other European countries. In his book The Sleepwalkers: How Europe went to War in 1914, Christopher Clark points out that, while ‘not one of the great powers has escaped the

Imagine you are at a 97-98 Chicago Bulls game, and the announcer said “coming to the court number 23 Michael Jordan”, and the crowd screams loudly “Jordan, Jordan, Jordan”. Your friend right next to you that Jordan is one of the best. I am here today to tell you about the greatness of a legend, a Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, and reasons why he is the best. There is no doubt in my mind that Michael Jordan is the best person to ever play the game called basketball.

When people think of NBA (National Basketball Association) greats many names come to mind like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Lebron James, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. But one name tops this list and that name is Michael Jordan. His skills are extraordinary with a unique style NBA fans have ever seen. He was and all-around legend who could score without giving any effort. He is the best defensive guard to walk the earth he has the best on-ball defense forcing steals and blocking people's shots with skills like this no doubt he's the Greatest of All-Time.

Perhaps it is a case of minority influence, when a few influence the many. Tyler and the Narrator have held the same viewpoint for a while now, months even, that they do not care about clever art or Swedish furniture, and they are comfortable admitting that they have scars from fighting. With this unwavering view, others start to take notice, and even begin to respect their ideology. They join fight club to become loyal members. After a while, Tyler decides that they have to expand or “move out of the basement,” and hence creates Project Mayhem.

Michael Jordan was the greatest because of his amazing statistics, his undeniable ability to win, and his lasting effect on the NBA. It will be a very long time, if ever, that there will be a player who was better than Jordan. While there are very many people in the NBA that are extremely talented, none of them stand

I believe Jack created Tyler in order to find his masculinity. When Jack loses everything he has, he does not know how to cope with such an excessive amount of stress. At this point, he turns to Tyler. Together, the two of them create Fight Club, a new way for men to relieve their stress and find their strength. Jack confesses to Tyler that he never really knew his father because he abandoned him when he was about six years old. Since he was raised by his mother, this becomes the movie’s best indication of why he suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Jack never had a male role

The invention of Fight Club is never stated directly, but its intention is indicated through the language of the narrator and the rationale of its members. Foremost, the narrator describes the members of Fight Club as “a generation of men raised by women” (50). The masculine identity, then, is an identity which has been lost to the feminized egotism in a deranged reality of postmodernism. Coupled with the lack of absent fathers the generation of modern men are wildly feminized. The narrator describes how his father abandoned him to set up new families or “franchises” (50) every six years, and states that he is “a thirty-year old boy [...] wondering if another woman is really the answer [he] needs” (51). The absent fathers in the narrator’s, and equally in Tyler’s, life eventually lead to the invention of Fight Club. Fight club is a way in which emasculated men can act the way men are supposed to and finally find a masculine figure to model themselves after. In creating Tyler, the narrator’s search for a masculine model is taken to the extreme. Tyler is a manifestation of man who the narrator and other men can model themselves after. Tyler represents the masculine identity, “Tyler is funny and charming and forceful and independent, and men look up to him and expect him to change their world” the narrator explains

Michael Jordan was one of the most liked and influential Nba player of all time. He’s impacted more people in sports, Fashion, and overcoming Racial discrimination than any professional athlete ever.

I believe that the film Fight Club reflects the American ideals of masculinity and what it means to be a man through the creation of Tyler Durden, the fight club, the relationship with Marla and through other characters. I also believe that Fight Club represents anti-capitalistic ideals about how what you buy doesn’t make you who you are. The movie portrays this through the narrator and the terror group started by Tyler. The character Tyler Durden reflects what the American ideals of masculinity, being handsome, witty, stylish, but also incredibly violent. Tyler is the literal creation of the narrator on what an ideal man is. Tyler is everything that the narrator wants to be, and everything that he doesn’t. He wants to be violent, handsome and be able to be confident with women, as Tyler is with Marla while the narrator seems to be more sensitive, a feeling more commonly associated with

After the narrator has met Tyler Durden, this is when the chaos and destruction has begun. Tyler was always telling the narrator how to make dynamite, napalm, and other gases that could blow up. Tyler had created a fighting club and a working club that would help him break down civilization. At first, the narrator did not know how to handle it but then started to become involved. The narrator’s apartment blew up from the home made dynamite that Tyler had made. Soon after, the narrator had asked Tyler if he could move in with him. Men were always having bruises or scars on their faces from “Fight Club” and later on, men would show up at their front door wanting to come in to be apart of Project Mayhem. The narrator always had to deal the dirty work, meaning telling the guys if they were not the right fit. Tyler had handed out proposals to each member, which involved in human scarifies, stealing identify cards, or destroying private property. After being around Tyler so much, the narrator had started to agree with Tyler about destroying civilization, “I wanted the whole world to hit bottom” (Palahniuk 123). The narrator finally realized that there has been way too much chaos when he notices Tyler has been gone. The narrator starts questioning every man he sees and tries to chase after Tyler. Towards the end of the novel after the

Initially, the narrator is finding an outlet for the daily pressure and to improve insomnia, and Tyler Durden to him represents this authority-figure who could make everything possible for him and someone who has everything under control. Overtime, the narrator’s reliance on Tyler Durden has only grown stronger. Therefore, it is during the sudden disappearance of Tyler Durden that the narrator is able to get a clear picture of the chaos and disaster they have caused. Together with the narrator, Tyler Durden has created Project Mayhem, a countrywide criminal organization, which prompts anti-consumerism through carrying out vandalism, making mischief, and attempting to reform others through violence. The narrator has lost his job, his boss is dead, police are looking for him, and now Tyler Durden is pushing a gun in his mouth while waiting for the financial centers to blow up. To the narrator, the biggest disaster isn’t the destruction that they have done, but rather, it is the internal conflict with the other personality, Tyler Durden. Therefore, with nothing to lose, he pulls the trigger and shoots himself, with the intention to kill Tyler, to bring an end to this chaos and disaster. “’It’s only after you’ve lost everything,’ Tyler says, ‘that you’re free to do

Michael Jordan has an impeccable taste in clothes, He always looks good and he prides himself to be a “fashion freak”. Michael Jordan is also the best but it not all about they way he plays but the good charisma that Jordan has. Michael Jordan, who took the shooting guard position on the Chicago Bulls, is different from other NBA players. The personality that Michael Jordan has, the attitude that he has while he is on the court, and his unbelievable, and very good moves had make him so famous, so unique, so perfect. Michael Jordan won six championships. Michael Jordan is a person that would never get angry, every time Jordan sees his fans, he shakes hands with them, if the fans ask for his autograph, he is willing to do so and Michael always is happy about it. While Michael Jordan is on the court, Mike acts like a different person. He becomes aggressive, he also focuses on his playing, and he becomes unstoppable. All of the NBA fans admire how Michael Jordan makes those unstoppable moves.

The plot sequence is enacted in a way that the viewer would perceive the two personas as completely different people. Through various scenes, the narrator comes to realize that he had fabricated his second persona. Upon this realization, the narrator must accept the fact that he is the force behind the complex plans of destruction. He quickly focuses his efforts on the reversal of his alter ego’s plans that turned the fight club into the disparaging “Project Mayhem.” The ideas behind this project were based off of the principles of equality, minimalism, and anti-corporate America. The targets of the destruction were all of the major credit card company headquarters. The reason behind these plans was to eliminate the debt records, thus allowing everyone to “start at zero.” Tyler thought that with no debt record, problems surrounding materialism would vanish. The reversal process would take the narrator on an arduous journey across the country. He follows Tyler’s paper trail, uncovering the plans little by little; all while realizing what was upon him.

As an audience, throughout the film it is evident that there is a significant contrast between the narrator and Tyler as they view many things differently. Just like the Fight Club and the IKEA furniture, the narrator becomes obsessed with Tyler and the life he leads. When Tyler is first introduced as a passenger on the airplane, the narrator is immediately drawn to him in a way that is different than any other person he has met. He feels a connection with him that he has not felt before, which is why he calls him when his apartment burns and he loses all of his important IKEA furniture. Tyler tells him it’s “just stuff” (Fight Club) and “the things you own end up owning you” (Fight Club), which completely contradicts everything the narrator had previously believed about his home and the furniture. Through Tyler, the narrator starts to lose his need for material objects when Tyler tells him “Fuck off with your sofa units and strine green stripe patterns, I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let... let’s evolve, let the chips fall where they may” (Fight Club), instead he focuses on the fighting and his friendship with Tyler since he has finally found something that fills the void in his life and gives it meaning. Though it may seem abstract that Tyler would fit into this argument, it all comes together at the end of the film when the audience finds
