Chapters 17-20; Project Mayhem and Fight Club Post Consumer waste generation

There are only certain types and amounts of people who are able to join Project Mayhem. It becomes bigger as more and more men become restless with Fight Club. Tyler gets the men to start making tons and tons and tons of the soap for him and they have no idea what they are doing. What they are doing is making Tyler money because he sells the soap for 20$ a bar. I think he is a scum bag having all these men do his dirty work for him. I feel happy for the narrator because he begins to talk to Marla again because Tyler is never around anymore. I wonder if he appears to Marla that he is the biggest dirt bag ever?!?!?!

The narrator gets kidnapped and they speak Tyler dogma and he really does not want to listen to it. Tyler at this point is perceived as a God-like figure or a Legend. Tyler has no real idea of this but the narrator begins to feel the effects of it. There are two new rules for FC #1 no one is ever the center of Fight Club and #2 Fight Club will always be free to get into. The mischief and the misinformation committees of Project Mayhem make this insane bumper stickers "I drive better when I'm drunk." It is funny but Project Mayhem is going to make the people of the world realize what is happening and they will perceive things differently in their lives. The narrator realizes that his perception of what Tyler was, was incorrect and now it is leading him to his downfall because he is one of Tyler's "monkeys".

The reason for Project Mayhem is because Tyler is tired of people perceiving people in different ways because of what they wear or how they look or do they have the Gucci bag etc. He thinks that the "young generation is chasing cars and clothes they do not need and are working jobs that they hate to buy the things that they do not need." He sees the reality behind the society today. Everyone is driven by materialistic things and he wants to create Project Mayhem to destroy everything and have everyone start over so that God will grant redemption to everyone. He is so weird. Tyler also makes the narrator kill twelve men, but they do not get killed he just takes their licenses. This is getting too crazy for me, but the self perception and others peoples perception of them is fantastic in this novel.
