The theme for this book would have to be, "Don't give up on yourself... Days may be hard and tough but that's what life is about."
1.) "At night, I no longer dreamed, nor did I let my imagination work during the day. The once vibrant escapes of watching myself fly through the clouds in bright blue costumes, were now a thing of the past. When I fell asleep, my soul became consumed in a black void. I no longer..=>

With no dreams, I found that words like HOPE and FAITH were only letters, randomly put together into something meaningless - words only for fairy tales."

(I AM DOING CHARACTERIZATION)
I still wonder why Catherine(mother) would abuse David over a period of time. He never got abused when he was younger so why abuse him now? I think that she is a good person but just chooses to act like a jerk, nasty, and any other words you can describe her that shows that she doesn't have a heart anymore. I think that the reason Catherine abuses David like this is because when ever...

she gets into an argument with her husband, and he packs his bags, and would go to work, she would get really mad at that so when he leaves, she would take all her anger out on her son.
1.)"After he left, Mother would yank me out of bed and drag me to the kitchen. While I stood shivering in my pajamas, she'd smack me from one side of the kitchen to the other." This shows that she abuses her child and doesn't care.

I nod sheepishly, 'Oh, I ran into the hall door by accident.' Again she smiles and takes a clipboard from the top of a cabinet. She flips through a page or two, then bends down to show me. 'Here,' she points to the paper,

'You said that last Monday. Remember?' I quickly change my story, 'I was playing baseball and got hit with the bat. It was an accident….' But the nurse knows better. She scolds me so I'll tell the truth…...' This shows that the parent of this child abuses him and doesn't take care of him. He was trying to lie so he can be protected over his mother but it didn't work. Maybe the mother should take care of him too.
