Outside Reading

Lately i have been reading a book called a child called it. A child called it is about a boy named dave, who was beaten badly and starved by his mother, who was an alcoholic. He never knew what to expect from his mom-she played games that left him almost dead. He needed to learn how to play the games in order to survive, because she no longer called him a son, but a slave and not a boy but an it. The only food he could have was the spoiled scraps left ove. Nobody knew about his mom beating him. What kept him going, was the hope of someone taking care of him, loving him and calling him their son.
