Fake Identity

Authors Note: This piece is about the conflict and resolution in the book Zach's Lie. I focused on the climax(the point of no return)  and the events that lead up to that lead up the climax.

Imagine being placed in the Witness Protection Program so you have to move to whole different place and change your name and looks, you basically have to change your life. Then every day you worry if these people who want to kill you know where you are, and with one little slip up like you telling your friend who you really are and the secret spreads and just before you know it these people who want to kill you know where you live. This is what Zach to face throughout the whole the book, and when Zach make that one little slip it creates the cause of the story.

Zach creates the Cause the story when he leaves his journal in his mom bookstore and it falls into the wrong hands. In that journal it contained all of Zach journals about who he really was before he was in Witness Protection program. When the journal fell in to the wrong person hands this is how the climax was starting to be created.When Zach creates the cause of the story the effect of it is the people that are looking for Zach find were he is living and take him The climax of the story is when the people that are looking for Zach are holding him captive and threatening to kill him, this is the turning the point of the story because Zach has to leave Elko and go back in the Witness Protection Program leaving all of his friends behind him and have to start a whole new life. A connection that I make with Zach, is that I saw a movie about a women in Witness Protection Program and it's not an easy thing keeping your secret which is the problem Zach faced throughout the book. Zach's life in the Witness Protection Program was not easy, considering you couldn’t tell anyone who you really and it probably is the same for people that are in the Protection Program today.
