Theme
I think that the theme of the book A Child Called "It" is that children who are being abused should speak up, they shouldnt put up with all that suffering and torturing. They should live happy as there kids because were not kids the whole life and we have to live our childhoood. They should talk to an adult maybe at school so they can get some help. In the book, Dave was too afraid to speak up becuse he knew if his mom found out that he was trying to escape from her, he would get punished really badly with one of her games.

Connection
A Child Called "It"
When I was reading the book of A Chilled Called "It" , I remembered that I hear somewhere that Child Abuse is still going on around the world. And thy we can't hurt our future because they said that the kids are our future and the we need to treat them well. And adults need to take care of their kids not hit them or take advantage of them just because they think that they can't do nothing about it.

An "It"
A Child Called "It"
pg.140
" Get one thing straight, you little som of a *****! There is nothing you can do to impress me! Do you understand me? You are a nobody! An It! I hate you and I wish you were dead! Dead! Do you hear me? Dead. "
That day, the reason why Davids mother snapped like that was because Davids teacher told David that the title that David made up for the schools news paper won and he gave a letter for Davids mother to read. David thought that maybe his mother would reward him and giving him some food so afterschool, David ran as fast a s he could to get to him houseto show her the letter. When David got home, he showed it to her and that's when she ripped it into small pieces in front of his face and screammed all those bad things to him.

The Accident
A Child Called "It"
pg.85
" As I looked at her, Mother snached a carving knife from the counter top and screamed "If you dont finish on time, I'm going to kill you. "
The time game was another of his mothers game. She would put time limits on the chores that David had to do if he wouldnt finish in time he would grt punished for not finishinf on time. That time he had to wash the dishes after his fqmily ate without him like always, but this his mother was a little drunk so she got the knife and threaten David that if he didn't finish on time she was going to kill him. Because she was drunk she kinda fell throwing the knife straight at Davids chest, Which she called an accident. After that she cured him a little and told him that he can take his time with the dishes. She she left, David hurried his way to his father and told him that his mother stabbed him, he looked like he isn't even listen just still looking at his newspaper. Then e said just go back to the kitchen and I won't tell her you told me this it'll be our little secret. With tears David went back to his chores.

Gas Chamber
A Child Called "It"
pg.108
" Breathing through the cloth, I watched the mistinen its way closer and closer to the floor. I felt as if I were locked in a gas chamber. "
What David said that he felt as he were in a gas chamber, he meant because his mothe would come up with new "games" just so that she could watch David suffer and torture him. The gas chamber was one of the worst torchure for Dave as he said himself on the book. In the bathroom, his mother would mix some chemicals like, nemonia and clorox the smell of those chemicals were so powerfull that it can choke someone thats why before the game started David would use a piece of cloth so the smell wouldnt be thqt strong.

Starvation
A Child Called "It"
pg.47
"By then, Mother would "forget" to feed me any dinner. Breakfast wasn't much better. "
David would say that his mother would forget to feed him in quotations because supposly she would forget to feed him. It was just an excuse so David wouldnt get anything to eat. The poor kid wouldnt eat anything because he just wasnt allowed to, his mother would say hes a "bad boy" thats why he didnt diserve to eat anything or play with his brothers. And for breakfast, sometimes if he finished all his morning chores that his mom would tell him to do he could only eat the leftovers of his brothers plate of cereal. For his mother, Davids brothers were all she had. Her most precious things in the world. Meanwhile David was an "It" a nothing.
