"Fitz understands that puny boys love their violent video games so much because playing them makes them feel big, powerful, dangerous. That has never been his thing. But now he has to admit it, his piece, this steel brick he's carrying, it makes him feel confident. Today, his father is not going to blow him off. Today he is going to make himself visible to his father." This is a quote from chapter 3 of Fitz by Mick Cochrane. I think this quote does a great job of showing Fitz' rational behind bringing a gun to his first confrontation with his father because it is relatable in the sense that there are always situations where you feel inferior and wish there was a way to make people take you seriously. This quote definitely shows how committed Fitz is for taking such a big risk for something he is passionate about.
