| A Child Called "It" is a very depressing biography that takes place during a young child named Daves life. He is severly punished (by his mom) for anything he does wrong. Many of the times he is not even fed. He learns that he has to fight for food. He knows that the only way he will get things done is to do it himself. He comes up with ideas just to find ways to eat. When his mother suspects him of eating he must throw up his food and sometimes even eat it.
After a while Dave isnt even considered part of the family and has to live in the garage. He feels that all him sense of self is all gone. He doesnt even feel like a person. He stated in the book that he has seen his mom treat animals better than he gets treated during his childhood. | ||
