He also talks about how his teacher dealed with certain situations when he came to school scared, burned, and beaten. The final straw was when he came to school on March 5, 1973 with a huge swelling purple lump above his eye to her list. [ His mother had been bashing his head against the counter before school that morning] Then the nurse preformed a routine on david and asked him to take off his shirt. The nurse examined all his scars and bruises and other injuries. She noted the scar on davids stomach caused by his mother when she threatened him with a knife and had accidently slipped and stabbed him. She also noted the scar on his arm from where his mother had forced him to hold his limb over the flames of the gas stove. What the nurse didnt know was: David had been denied food by his mother for up to ten days at a time, that he had eaten from the dogs dish, ate dog poop, or ate from his little brothers dirty diaper. March 12, 1973 was Davids lucky day. He never went home again. He was put in a series of foster homes. Now David is a married parent of his eight year old son.

Answer 5

This chapter made me want to just cry I couldn't believe the things he had to go through just to get food!!His mom would forget to feed him.How on earth do u forget to feed your child??He would steal lunch from his classmates while they were outside playing.On the weekends him mom would punish him by not feeding him.That summer they went on vacation to the Russian River by then he felt that things might be getting better but he was so wrong! His dad was getting ready to take his brothers out and him,but his mom said that he had to stay home so he did.During this part of the book it made me want to throw up she smeared his little brothers diaper in his face and then wanted him to eat it by this time his dad was returning home so she made him clean up as if nothing ever happened.He was so desperate for food that after his nightly chores he would dig through the trash just to eat something his mom was finding out that he was eating so she would pour ammonia in the trash so he could no longer eat from the trash.I couldn't imagine not eating food is one of the main things in my life.Sitting here writing this makes me want to cry again.
