![]() When Zit was exposed to love and affection it lead him to change and turn his life around. He later changes once he gets adopted by new foster parents who truly care about him. Through having Zit’s do this, Sherman Alexie is purposely using inner conflict to show how being in an unstable, Unreliable family makes Zits act the way he does. At that point his home is the cell he stays in all the time and the only people that care about him are the cops. From Zit not feeling welcomed at home- it makes him get to know all the cops because of how much he’s been in and out of jail. On page 17 Sherman writes “I run until a police car pulls up in front of me. The lack of attention Zit receives at home make him feel lonely, confused and angry, leading him to provoke the cops to recover the lack of attention at home. Imagine living with people who don’t even make their own family feel welcomed. His foster parents, group homes and his peers offer little substitution for a real family family and for Zits to feel welcomed. The greatest absence in Zits life comes from a lack of a stable, loving and reliable family. The use of characterization helps enhance my central idea because it shows how it takes time for someone to change and better their life because Zit’s had to go through all of these transformations to finally realize that he will change. This new perspective on violence allows him to change later on for the best. Through the many transformations, Zit’s confronts the truth on violence and its ugliness. ![]() Alexie uses the writing strategy of Characterization to compare the behavior from Zit’s in the beginning and how it changes later on as he experiences these tragic acts on violence. ![]() In this scene we can compare how Zit’s changes in the book. “I lose pieces of my rage, Until I am left with only fear. On page 88 in Flight Zit’s realizes the ugliness of violence. ![]()
