A Child Called It 4

David starts to lose faith in his power to survive, so so do I. It is sad to see him come so far with such determination and then all of a sudden start to give up. What he does not seem to realize is that him giving up makes him stronger. Maybe he is not giving up on survival, but giving up on winning his mother's love and affection. I think he is maturing in that he realizes his life is more important than love from someone that hurts you so much. I hope that by the end of this book, he realizes that he does not need his mother to love him and that there will be other people out there that will love him.
When David says that he does not believe in G-d anymore, nor does he love but loathe his mother I am almost in shock. Such a young boy has learned so fast. I feel so sad for him when he says that he does not believe in G-d anymore. It is understandable that if there was a G-d, wouldn't he have protected David and children like him?
My hopes for this book are that by the end, David starts to believe in G-d again. Also, that he learns that there is love in the world and it is not wrong to want to be loved. Hopefully, his brothers or father will grow a pair and help him. I have high hopes for his youngest brother because David loves him so much.
