Starting to open up to Lilo. 


Conflict
Character vs Society 
    -Stitch gets chased by the united galactic federation to capture him because hes too dangerous.
Character vs Self
    -he could only think about running away from the space police and think about destruction while hes on Earth, but eventually learns to love and care.





 "Ugly Duckling"

Intention
    Stitch after getting read "the ugly duckling", gets sad that he him self is also like the ugly duck where he doesn't have a family where he belongs, especially after messing things up at the beach when getting chased by Dr. Jumbo and seeing how close Lilo and her sister is after made him feel like he's not a part of the family. 
    This doesn't help especially all his life he's been only seen and told as an experiment. Getting feared by humans on Earth getting rejected by Nani also lowers his self confidence. 

Subtext
"Im Lost"
I don't have a family, a place where I belong

Execution
He is usually very energetic and sassy, but after he sees the relationship Lilo has with Nani, and after seeing the picture Lilo has of her family, he becomes extremely insecure and sad that he can't have his Ohana. 

Caricature  
    Stitch goes outside into the quiet woods at night. The music and his body language: ears down, slow walk, sad eyes, all emphasize his inner conflict and how sad he is.
