Full Tilt Character Analysis

Gaining Courage In reality, most people will eventually end up facing their greatest fears in their lifetime. Just like Blake in Full Tilt. Blake has to survive eight rides in a mysterious, phantom theme park. In Full Tilt, Neal Shusterman uses the character of Blake to portray how it is that one may change throughout a set period of time. In the beginning Blake is coward; however this changes as he goes on the rides. After the eighth ride Blake has overcome practically all of his greatest, and deepest, fears, so he feels as though he can accomplish anything. In the beginning, Blake seems to be a scared little boy. In one scene Blake is trying to go on to the Kamikaze. “What a waste of time,” he protests, “let’s find something else to do.”(11).
