Facing It All

Man In The Mirror- Michael Jackson

Throughout the whole book, Tyler kept thinking that either all his problems would either go away, or that running away either from home, or ending his life, would help. At the end of the book however, Tyler realized that the only way to fix all the problems that were occurring in his life was to deal with them face to face.

First Tyler went to his principal, Mr. Hughes office. Once got there, he spoke with His principal about how he didn't like being isolated in school and separated from all the rest of his classmates. Tyler informed him that he wanted to be return to his regular schedule.

His next stop to was to go and fix the deal with Chip. He approached him in the cafeteria while he was sitting with the rest if his friends. He tried challenging him, in front of all the teachers hoping he would through the first punch, but when he didn't, Tyler left, with Chip scared of facing Tyler again. Afterwards while Tyler was leaving, Bethany came running behind him calling to him. He stopped for a moment, then kept walking, knowing that chasing after her was worthless and a mistake.

After this, Tyler went to check out is his probation officer. He asked him about the issue with Bethany and the nude pictures. His officer told him that if he was proven guilty, then he would be doing more community service. A couple of days later, the police came to Tyler's house, apologizing and saying that they found the actual person who took the photos.

The last place on Tyler's list, was back home. He arrived at home, and what he did was kind of scary, but moving. Tyler confronted his father and told him about the jerk that he has been to everyone lately. He told him to fix up his act and threw a chair across the room. Tyler yelled a lot at his father and then left the house to sleep at Yoda's. When he came back home the next day, his father hugged him real tight and apologized for the way that he had been, and promised to be better.
