one kid without his byological parents must be a hard life until they find a another good foster family
ReplyDelete-Learning that your parents can be a big role in your life or just having someone that cares about you.
ReplyDelete-The foster care system.
-Abuse of power
-Identity
-Loneliness
-That everyone can have a second chance.
-Coming of age
even if a person is all even a impact set on course can change ones mind
ReplyDeletei learned alot about the world in general teaching me that no matter where you are always keep your eyes open and look for anything out of the ordinary
respect all and the representation of one can be high
That things can get better if they work for it or a person decides to take you in and teach you. that everyone else has the same problems as you do and they feel the same way.
ReplyDelete- to not do stupid things
ReplyDelete- that he didn't really know his dads intentions of leaving until he was him.
I really cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this book. It had a variety of themes, lessons, and overall, a very good, solid book. I feel the main thing I take away from this is "You can never really know someone until you become them." This is very true, and Zits learned to feel and live as others, see their side of the story, their lives, and feel how they feel.
ReplyDeleteI also loved the way the book ended as well, how Zits didn't end up with his father was surprising, but it was for the better and I feel that can be taken into real life. Even if something sounds right, it isn't always right. This is true with Zits not ending up with his father, the way justice filled his head with ideas of terrorism, and many other examples.
I could go on and on, but another theme I really take away from Flight, even though it may be incredibly Cliché, is that you cannot judge a book by it's cover. I'm not just saying that, it really seems like a theme throughout the book and something I can really take away from it, having finished the book.
Everyone has their own problems, If you look at stuff from other peoples point of view it might change yours, Think before you act.
ReplyDelete1. Everyone has a different point of view
ReplyDelete2. Everyone's point of view includes expectations
3. When people's viewpoints disagree, discrimination often occurs
4. Discrimination can come in the abuse of different aspects of life
5. Human morality exists even within chaotic atrocity and violence
6. Stereotypes are only true if the stereotyped accept them as truth
7. Forgiveness is better than revenge
- Parents are a big roll in your life, even foster parents in a way.
ReplyDelete- Don't make stupid decisions
It helps one Incorporated new ideas on how some people are effected differently by the same set of circumstances. That this is a perfect example of a horse of a different color. on could act negatively in the situation but what would that solve.
ReplyDeleteI learned a little bit more about the battle of little big horn, how a person can be easily pursuaded to do bad things, and how being shown what happens because of poor choices can change the wayu you view things.
ReplyDeleteI would have teken away bits and pieces of all the vilonence and so called "explicit" coontent that is portrayed throughout the book. I also would want to take out the fact that he is a foster child because in every book that has a foster child as the main character, they always make that child seem unnormal and messed up compared to everybody else. I also think that the swear words should have been kept to a minimum.
ReplyDeleteSome of the things that I have taken away from this book are...
ReplyDelete- Realize some of the mistakes that you have made in the past and weather they are good or bad try to make up for them and just have a bigger understanding of you or that person has done.
-Everyone has a history weather it's good or bad.
- Have a bigger understanding where people have come from and why they made the decisions they have made.
-correct yourself before doing something you may regret.
Don't assume things when you don't know the other side of the story.
ReplyDelete-dont hurt people for the fun of it because when you're in the moment you feel unstoppable but in the end you look back and see the results of your destruction and all you feel is guilt.
