I am Tina's aorta, filling up with stressed blood, living without oxygen as the pressure rises.

Point of view from my lungs;
They clench up from time to time. Anxiety usually gets the best of me. I suffocate, cough, trying to get air into my lungs. I should probably quit smoking. I should probably quit a lot of things.

I feel that Jack does the whole personification with his body parts because it gives the audience something to think about. I mean, seriously now. "I am Jack's colon" "I am cancer, I kill Jack". Its stuff like this that just makes you think. The personification used seems somewhat metaphorical in a sense that its Jack's inner being Tyler who is speaking.

Composition of material objects;

• cell phone
• car
• guitar hero
• drum sticks
• cigarettes
• gum
• lighter
• wallet
• id
• change
• pen
• paper
• hair extensions
  

well, cell phone is to communicate, car is for transportation, guitar hero and drum sticks fall into the category of making me happy, cigarettes and the lighter is just essential for my mental needs, the wallet, id, and change go hand in hand. the pen and paper are used to help with getting information if needed. And the hair extensions and gum are just... plain life.

Statements and messages from the film about materialism and freedom;
You're never free from yourself. In this story, Tyler Durden, or Jack, are never "free" from themselves. Materialism plays a huge role because Jack formed his life around everything he bought. He thought that buying worthless,meaningless things would make his life more "complete", when it actually did nothing. Freedom on the other hand came as a role in the film by getting rid of the materialism that piled up in Jack.

Tyler said "You are not your job or your possessions. It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything.”.

That quote right there explains that you must first free yourself before committing yourself to complete freedom.
