Survivor - Fertility, Tender & Fate

If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself.
What we call chaos is just patters we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patter we can't decipher. What we cant understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish.
There is no free will.
There are no variables.
"There is only the inevitable," Fertility says. "There's only one future. You don't have a choice."
The bad news is we don't have any control.
The good news is you can't make any mistakes." (Palahniuk, 118).

I think I may use this book for our Fate project. The more I read, the more I realize that the bigger picture is 'what is Tender going to do with himself?' This train of thought took place while talking to Fertility Hollis in a diner. Is Tender Branson right or is he wrong? I think he could be both, in away. Arguably, a war in history with a war in the present is history repeating itself. But we have to take into consideration that the circumstances are different, the people are different, everything is different. Also, if we go by this, then a child being born is just a child being born - a repetition - nothing special. And I, personally, don't agree with that. That plays into Determinism, which I 100% play into. I do agree with the part about there's only one future - the good news you cant make any mistakes. We all know what our life story is going to end with, so I think its better to look at the actions we take as learning opportunities and not mistakes. If we didn't mess up on (insert situation here) we wouldn't be the person that we are today so in a sense nothing is a mistake. I think this is the beginning of the turning point in the book. Tender has all of the wheels turning in his head and he's fighting this argument between life and death. I think soon we're going to see things snap.

Questions:
1) Will he see Fertility again?
2) Why is she helping him with his 'miracles'?
3) How will the book end?!?!?! =[
4) What is Chuck Palahniuk as a person? He writes about some pretty heavy stuff..
