Fight Club–Do the themes hold up?

Isolate a topic, explain what readers are supposed to understand about that topic after having read the book (the theme), and then argue the extent to which that theme is relevant more than thirty years later. Using the databases through the LPC Library website, research contemporary parallels to one of these themes in the novel. Your thesis should argue if, why, and or how Palahniuk’s novel is still relevant regarding your chosen theme.Essay Requirements:a title that relates to your specific ideasan introduction that provides background on the topic and ends with a thesis statement, articulating the main pointat least three direct quotes or paraphrases (properly introduced and explained) used as evidence to support your thesis from Fight ClubReference to 1-3 literary elements that help support your point (character, plot, setting, symbol etc.)At least 3 outside, credible sources (literary research), including articles from newspapers, magazines, and journals, using all three sources in the body of the essay and include 5 quotes or paraphrasesquotes longer than 3 lines should be used VERY sparingly–like one if that!TBEAR body paragraphs (as many as necessary)smooth transition statements helping the reader follow your pointsa concluding paragraph that reflects upon your main point and leaves readers with a strong sense of the most important ideas from the essayWrite for an informed audience (one who has read Fight Club but not your research), using appropriate tone (3rd person) and word choice and avoiding summary.If you have personal experience to add, you are welcome to.2000 wordsMLA Format throughout– paper format, works cited page, and in-text citations
