chapter 1-owl post

So I decided to stop reading Invisible Man. It was just too sad! And I couldn't even follow what the narrator was talking about half the time.  So as of now I'm looking for a new book.  Today I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.  I've already read this book about 4 times so I need to find a new book fast!

chapter 7-the lord's prayer

David talks about his parents splitting up and how much he really hated his mother and father and just his whole life.  Kids at school would make fun of him, his family hated him and he had no hope.  Honestly I don't know how he managed to survive.

chapter 6-while father is away

David talks about the time his mother started being really nice to him out of no where.  She also came up with new torture devices like a freezing water bath.  The reason she was being nice out of no where was because child services were coming to the house to look around.  He fell for his mothers trick and after that things went back to normal.

chapter 4-the fight for food

David describes the incidents of getting caught stealing food or begging for food from neighbors.  His mother would make him throw up and eat it.  His father began to just sit back and watch.  All of these events are just so horrible you can't even imagine it.  I feel so bad for this kid!
