Lit Analysis

Topic and Events
1.a) This book is emotionally depressing. It's about a boy who's mother physically, emotionally, and mentally destroyed this boy,David Pelzer. David is also the author of this book which basically makes it a autobiography. This is book number two, in this book Davids mother loses custody to David, he became a member of the foster care family system. After a month or so, David gets adopted by Mrs. C and starts his new life with this family with Lilian, Rudy(mom and father), Big Larry, Larry and Chris.
b) In one sentence this story is about about who starts a new life in presence of a foster care family.
2. My author decided to write about this because this was his life, this is what he had to endure as a he grew up. He wrote all of this and made it into books probably so that other people who had lived like that could relate to this and then don't feel alone. He wants people to be able to survive and he wants them to be able to push on and not lose hope.
3. I chose this book because this book was the sequel to " A child called it" and that book was pretty good. This book really appealed to me because I like these kinds of books.. Its sad but when you get a book that you can relate to, I wasn't raised like that but my parents weren't always there for me and I felt alone, I felt like it was my fault, so when I find books like these I have to read it.
4. I find this book really realistic, I myself can make connections to this book. I can make connections due to the fact that I didn't have the most wonderful childhood either and i don't want to get to deep into that.
People.
1) I believe Pelzers tone is mentally and emotionally destroying, yet its also hopeful and joyful. His mother abused him, then he gets put into the foster care system and actually starts a new life. It has its ups and then hits you with its downs. Okay, I want to justify my statement more clear, the authors tone through out the story is real, it can happen, its happened and abuse of children is real. There wasn't only David at the foster care house, there was many other kids who have struggled like he did. His choices are pretty straight forward, he saw his chance to escape his mothers deadly grasp and he snatched it right out of the air.
2) The two people I'm going to describe is Davids dad and Big larry. Davids dad is a Ex firefighter who has aged due to the fact of alcohol abuse to his body, the break through all of the stress his wife has put onto to him from abusing David, he is average height, dark hair, brown eyes and he is depressed because his wife controls his life. He is easily pushed over and controlled, he allows everything to go on because he is to scared to stick up for David. If this was a fiction book, i would characterize him with an in-direct approach. Big Larry is obviously big in height and weight, he has brown hair and brown eyes, he's goofy and likes to help people feel more comfortable in these kinds of situations and he's very mature but then again very stagnant minded sometimes.
3) I chose these two characters because both are trying to help David move on in life, they both want the best for him.
Style
1) Honestly I don't know what kind of style he used to write this story. I mean he kind of goes day by day and explains main events or main scenes from his childhood. I don't know if that would really be classified as a "Journalistic" style? There aren't a lot of dates that suggest that it would be similar to a journal log.
2) He doesn't really use long descriptions of people and places, he focuses more on actions and dialogue. His choice to this makes the story less of a drag and keeps the excitement up of what kind of problems or situations he will be facing in the near future of the story.
3)  Well this book is about his real life situations as a child, so he uses realistic words, actions, dialogue and more to make the reader under stand that this is real. The scenes in this story are similar to what other foster children could say they experienced, like being a outcast at school, not feeling like you're really normal, its all real.
4) I'm positive his attitude towards it all was determination. Determination to be free, to tell his story, to prove that child abuse does occur in places in the U.S., to provide security and help for those that need it.
5)No resources were provided except his vague memories of it all.
Enduring Memory
One thing I'm going to remember after reading this story is to be more compassionate towards others and to not judge others right off the first glance without actually breaking a conversation. You cant judge someone who has cuts on their wrist by saying oh  she's emo and does it for attention, but really she cuts herself because it eases all the pain the pain and stress she has in her personal life. People shouldn't outcast other people out like that, instead they should try to help, try to be someone in their life that cares and wants them to get better.
