I'm Free?

  A Child Called "It"
pg.14 " I lean back against the seat. A reflection from the sun hits my eyes. I turn away from the rays as a single tear runs down my cheeck. " I'm free?" "

 This quote represents that David was finally free from the beatings of his mother. He was surprised that one simple call was all it took just to get his mother away from him. As the school nurse was revising David as usual she noticed even more beatings and the most shocking was when she saw the scar of when his mother "accidently" stabbed him, she ran outside crying and she reported to the principle so they called the police because that was just too much for a kid. After that they were sitting at the officers office and he asked Dabid for his moms number, David didnt wanted to give it to him because he knew that he was going to get beaten again but the police officer already knew the number. He just simply called her and told her that they were in custody for child abuse. So thats when David wonders and says hes free.

Connection

A connection to the book Fever 1793 was that ive heard of epidemics that had happened but none of them sound as bad as yellow fever. I think that the Swine flu is close because lots of people also died fron the swine flu. People everywhere were wearing facemasks because anyone was at risk of getting it.
