Bio-poem: Choke - 3/9

Victor Mancini
Stuck, withdrawn, addicted, confused.
A character in Palahniuk's story.
Lover of love, attention, and making heroes.
Who notices the worst in everything, people's desires, and where it all went wrong.
Who feels there was a lot he could have changed, ignorance truly is bliss, and sometimes it's alright to take the blame.
Who learns that people are selfish, his mother was never really in her head, and addictions are hard to let go of.
Who says, "The lucky ones are just born dead."
Who used to think that love made sense and was unconditional, but now knows that love is strange and twisted, but never really goes away even if we want it to.
Major character in Choke,
A book that helps you see the world in a new perspective.

  1. What did you mean by "lover of making hereos?" This story looks quite fascinating in my opinion. The words and phrases you chose to put all of this together fits well, and just makes me want to read the book. Hope to read more about it in your future posts!

  2. Victor seems to look at the world in a negative way, but I can’t say I blame him. Victor seems to have gone through a lot and views the world as what it really is. Based on this poem I could tell that “Choke” is definitely a different perspective of the world. Overall, great blog.
