Social Awareness: Response to Literature

a child called it




A Child Called It.


I read the book A Child Called It a long time ago and every time i think of serious social issues such as abuse I think of this book. The main character is a young child who is constantly abused by his mother. She brutally abuses him by taking away meals, burning him, beating him, and poisoning him by forcing him to inhale fumes of toxic chemicals. A Child called it is a story a about a young boys struggling to get out of the abusive home he lives in. He has great courage to be able to get out of his situation and it also sends out a message for other people to become more aware of child abuse.
