What three lessons does Zits learn about family and ancestry from each of his teleportation experiences?

Zits is unapologetic about his behavior. His actions are aggressive and forceful. He has little hope for himself; his future seems dim. He has neither the desire for nor the expectation of forgiveness.

However, what he learns through his transformations is that he must first truly accept himself as flawed if he is to forgive. Having constructed such an emotional shield, Zits barely feels obligated to consider the sources of his shame. In all of the different bodies he inhabits, he realizes how in focusing on one's own shame and hatred, one is driven to unhappiness. As he learns that every human is capable of betrayal, he begins to empathize with people like his father, and then is he able to forgive them. Once he begins to forgive others, he is able to confront the truth of his sexual molestation, and then find the strength to forgive himself, to seek a better life. The final chapters suggest that Zits has found redemption not because he has found a way to live without hatred and resentment, but because he has learned that he can forgive himself, that he does not need to solely define himself by his vices.
