#1
The main character is Dave Pelzer. His mother, who is also a main character,
beats Dave. The main problem was that Dave got abused and tortured a lot.
The lesson I learned was that there are people in the world that don't
have feelings. The reader will always remember this book because of how
sad it is. The theme is that if you keep trying, you will succeed.
This novel was a really good book. This book touched my heart and I can't
believe a mother could dot that to their child. If I was a mother I wouldn't
do those things. (Adriana S., Student)
