Kid's Say the Darnest Things ;)

In my book, "A Child called It", David is being abused by his mother and everytime when he wins in her punishements or everytime she gives up, he would cuss and yell and call her a bitch in his head and he woiuld tellhimself that HE had, HE had made her give up, HE is safe.. for tonight. And that was the only thing he can assure himself. The rest of the bok has nothing to do with the TV show, "Kids say the Darnest Things". Only the part when he thinks badly of his mother.

My first independent reading book was called, "Killing Britney", and my second book is called, "A Child Called It". These two books do not have much in common becauce Britney is dealing with a murder and solving crime scenes while David is getting abused by his mother. "Killing Britney" has to do more with mystery and murder than "A Child Called It" isn't really a mystery because you can see that he is being abused and know that how he feels and everything is straight forward; no mystreries. The one thing that these two books have in common is that they both have the same hatred for their mothers. It's pretty obvious that they feel that way because Britney's mother had never really shown affection and for sure David's mom doesn't show affection every now and then, in fact, rarley she shows any emotion except for hatred and annoyance towards David.

A Child Called "It"

My independent reading book is called "A Child Called It", and I really liked this book because it talks about a little boy's struggle into escaping abuse from his mother. I know its really sad, and that's the bad part, but to see him be so motivated and have so much hope that he will escape from her really makes me want to finish this book. In fact, I finished the WHOLE book in 1 day; I stayed up till 2:00am :) The bad parts are when she repeatedly hits him, but treats his brothers like angels and feeds them delicious food, and I wonder.. why not him? What did he do to deserve this? This is a very sad book, but it's also very good.
