As we read through the novel Fight Club, we discovered many themes that covered a variety of topics such as masculinity and consumerism. Chuck Palahniuk, the author, poured his own views and feelings towards society into this story whcih not only demonstrated this, but potrayed it through an internal conflict withtin the characters.
As our final project for our book study, we were tasked with creating a “Theme Park” that has rides, shows, and merchandise that all relate to the novel in an unique manner. In our group of five, my part was to design the actual map of the theme park using all the ideas that we had created for the rides and shows. To do this, I used the online program “Icogram” to create the theme park. I had to ensure that all our ideas were effectively translated into the theme park while still being conscious of the limits of the program. Throughout this process, I slowly started to develop my creative thinking competencie as I had to find alternitive ways of making some of the rides as the program didn’t have the exact tools I needed. An example of this is the “Bombs Below!” ride as it was supposed to be similar to a “hellivator” ride. As the program didn’t have what I was looking for, I improvised and used a construction crane and found a way of implementing it into the park without it looking too out of place. However, this is one of many examples of how I was able to use and develop my creative thinking competencies.
Overall, I enjoyed this project. There were definitely moments where I was faced with a challenge with no clear way around it; but, with a little perserverance and patience, I was able to overcome these challenges and continue my work. This project allowed me to learn a completely new program that could be very useful in future assignments for either this class or other classes.
