A Child Called "It"

         During the summer  I recently read a book called a child called it  by Dave Pelzer and it was a very sad and depressing book. It was about a young boy named  Dave  that gets abused bye his mother. Dave pelzer got through all the beating and bruises she caused him. For exampl, in one part of the book she makes him throw up to see if he ate anything because she makes him starve and then after she makes him throw up she makes him eat his throw up. The saddest part of the book to me is when she burns and on the stove while he was crying she wouldnt care she would just continue to burn him even more. I think this young boy shows courage to never giving up on his mom because she would make him play these unpredictable games that nearly killed him and if he didn't learn how to play his mom would beat him or make him starve. So this book turned out to be my favorite book and I think the lesson in this story is its very hard to tell on someone you love like Dave he didn't want to tell the cops on his mother because he still loved her.
