Lit circle letter 3

The book i just finished reading is called "a child called it" is based on a true story.Is an autobiography by Dave Pelzer.This book is mainly about the author Dave(or David) getting abuse by his alcoholic mom.The story continues when Dave would get torture more often than before.Dave would still get beaten everyday for his food so when he have a chance to eat he would eat as fast as possible before his mom would change his mind.

The school already have an idea of whats going on with Dave's family.The nurse would check up on Dave every week for new scars because she knows that Dave would get beat everyday.One day Dave got called in the office, he have no idea whats going on but he know is about his family.Then he spoke to the police but Dave didn't say nothing about his mom because he scared that if his mom find out he would get no food and get beat on.Even though David's mom would take her anger out on him but his dad often tend to sneak food in the garage so David won't faint and go to the hospital like last time.

Dave's dad would often try to convince his mom to led him eat but the more Dave's dad talk about the topic the more angry his mom would get until this breaks into an argument.Often times David's dad would leave and pack his clothes and leave the house after an argument.And this leads to even more beating.But Dave's mom can never run away for what she have done so at last Dave's mom finally got arrested for the bruises on Dave's body. After reading this book i felt really bad for Dave because all he think about is to escape in his childhood and he got beaten at a very young age, i mean why would anyone beat on their own child!I think this is just cruel and sick.
