Durden, Tyler 

What people dont understand is that Tyler Durden and Jack are the same thing. They BOTH live and thrive off each other. Until Jack came to the realization that he needed to live without him. He was his best friend and confidant and his soul tie. It was so much more than an alter ego.
The way we persceve our selves is the way we peraceve our best friends. We are our friends and they are us. With out them we are nothing.

Tyler Durden 

The god of all gods. If you watch Fight Club then you will know what I'm saying. There is nothing this person can't do. Guys want to be him, girls want to fuck him.
In Tyler Durden, We trust.

The first rule of fight club is:

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
