DURING THE SUMMER WHAT BOOK DID YOU READ AND WHY, HOW DID IT AFFECT YOU?
"A Child called It" is a book that is known to be one of the worst documented cases of child abuse. Dave had to endure numerous types of abuse such as starvation, cruelty and torture for the majority of his childhood. This is an incredible story that encouraged me to become a strong person in times were it is very difficult to do so.
When reading this book, I was shocked by the different levels of cruelty that Dave faced. I was amazed on how this book had a major impact in my life. Now, after reading this book I noticed that I am a more understanding and kind person towards children. Knowing that Dave could have been freed from his mothers insanity if only people were more opened. When reading this book, it constantly shows us the different opportunity that Dave had to free himself if only he had the courage to talk to someone about this torturing life. I tried to study his mother's actions towards Dave and wondered how and why she gained such hate towards her son. He would try everyday to survive from his mother's torturous games, leaving him to find the strength to fend for himself. "A Child Called It" is an inspiration to all readers; it is a message of resilience, strength and spirit. We all have the courage and ability to leave our dark past behind us and search for a better tomorrow.
