The Lost Boy

Dave Pelzer's The Lost Boy had surprised me with its vivid descriptions and the unique characters.  Early in chapter one, David describes his life at home, "Weekends are worse. No school means no food and more time at 'The House.' All I can do is try to imagine myself away - somewhere, anywhere -  from 'The House.' For years I have been the outcast of 'The Family.' As long as I can remember I have always been in trouble and have 'deserved' to be punished. At first I thought I was a bad boy." This quote really surprised me because that Dave was a little boy and he had to go throught the struggle that he was not welcome to his family and he had to call himself a 'bad boy'.  One other qoute is that also had some a suprise to me is that he was alos treated terribly and screamed at as said  by his mother 'Turn around!' she yells. 'Look at me!'. This descriptions are very vivid. A lot of the other qoutes were also vivd as well but  there were too many to write down and also talk about.  --- not done---
