Lesson 5

[Copper Wiezi]

Copper, Three Gradients
What I learned doing this assignment is:
I learned that transformation isn’t always a choice—sometimes, it’s forced upon us. Kim’s journey reflects how resistance, fear, and doubt are all part of growth. Even when we fight change, it shapes us into who we’re meant to become.
FORCED CHANGE is the gradient I’ll be using.

A. DENIAL:
B. Kim rejects everything Liam tells her, convinced he’s delusional. She tries to return to her normal life, but small inconsistencies gnaw at her—forcing her to question what’s real.
C. Challenge/ Weakness: C: Clings to the reality she’s always known, refusing to accept that it might be a lie.
W: Fear that acknowledging the truth means everything she thought she knew—about herself and the world—is wrong.

A. ANGER
B. Kim lashes out at Liam, accusing him of manipulation. Refusing to believe she’s different, she challenges the system in defiance—but the consequences are worse than she expected.
C. Challenge/ Weakness: C: Rejects the idea that she is part of something bigger and fights against it.
W: Anger is easier than fear—she would rather rage at Liam and the system than face the possibility that everything she knows is a lie.

A. BARGAINING:
B. Kim desperately searches for proof that Liam is wrong. She convinces herself she can accept some truths but not others—if she ignores what she’s seen, maybe life can go back to normal.
C. Challenge/ Weakness: C: Desperately tries to hold onto a version of reality that no longer exists.
W: Afraid that if she fully accepts the truth, she will lose everything—her identity, her past, and even herself.

A. DEPRESSION:
B. Kim isolates herself, feeling like she no longer belongs anywhere. She starts believing Liam was wrong—that she was never meant for anything more. Giving up seems easier than facing the truth.
C. Challenge/ Weakness: C: Feels like she has no purpose—if she isn’t who Liam thinks she is, then what is she?
W: Loses faith in herself completely, believing she is powerless and incapable of change.

A. ACCEPTANCE:
B. Kim stops resisting and embraces her evolution. No longer questioning if she’s ready, she steps into her power—not just for herself, but for those who will follow her.
C. Challenge/ Weakness: C: Surrenders to her true nature, realizing she was never meant to fit into the old world.
W: Letting go of the past—her pain, doubts, and the life she thought she wanted.
