Throughout the first half of Sherman Alexie’s Flight‚ Alexie introduces us to how a young half-white‚ half-Indian boy perceives himself and the world around him. It is evident that Zits struggles with himself as a person. He does not feel confident in his heritage or in his actions. He constantly feels ashamed and the need to act out to attract attention.
