Torture. Resentment. Abuse. Dave Pelzer's whole childhood can be represented by these three words. In his biography, The Lost Boy, Dave Pelzer takes readers with him on his journey out of his prison called home. At home, "I'm my mother's prisoner", at home, "I've learned to turn off the pain", at home, "I'm alone". Dave's life has been a constant struggle and he searches for the love that he once received as a young child. He is finally saved but the battle to freedom hasn't ended yet and his mother's words are constantly echoing through his mind: "I will never let you go". Fear. It controls our lives and is the barrier between failure and success. Fear prevents humans from achieving greatness and accomplish what we were made to do. Humans are too afraid of failure and judgment that we tend to hold back. Maybe it's standing up for the bullied or asking that guy/girl out or something as silly as dancing like there's no one around. I believe that in order for humans to be truly happy, they need to get rid of fear. Let go of everything that is holding you back and live up to your full potential. Be yourself and don't be afraid of judgment and especially, don't wait for life to make something good happen, do it yourself. Search for your own wonderland and have hope. Flibbertigibbet: I read my book in my house. No kidding. I am enjoying this book because strangely find child abuse interesting. I swear, I'm not sick. Continuing, I currently don't have any special habits and I'm just reading based on my desired scheduled. Two Claps. |
