A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer

    This book was so depressing and interesting that I have to make a blog post on it. A very intense book about a young boy who has been abused by his mother. This book was touching and heartbreaking to hear these stories about this boy being abused by his own mother and his older brothers to watch. 
    One reason the book was sad to me was Dave's dream. His dream was for his father to stick to his promise which is to save him from this hell hole of a house. But it never came true. Sometimes when someone makes me a promise i would get sad about them breaking it, but a promise that serious would be terrible to break.
    Another reason why this book i thought this book was extremely sad. Is because it was a true story. I know many people have experience abuse but not all of then experienced writing a book about it. This story was sad to begin with but knowing it was a true story made me beyond sad. Sad because this little innocent boy has experience beatings that no kid should ever be beaten. A spank or a timeout is one thing. But making your child eat poop, drowning him, smacking him poisoning him, Starving him and not loving him is a different story. A complete different story. 
    The last reason i thought this book was sad was because no one has done anything to help him for a long time. The teachers knew, some adult suspected it. But he was helped many years later. Which is terrible timing. But a great way to make a dramatic story about it. Noticing in alot of book/movies that usually when some one is getting abused it takes them a long to  for them to express what is happening to them.
    Therefore the book A child called "it" is a very sad story.It is sad because Dave pelzer (The author) is the main character (Meaning its a true story). Its also sad because Dave yes been abused in the book for many years and no one was there to help him. The main reason it was sad because of his dream which didn't come true.
