After "A Chilld Called It"

                 "The Lost Boy" as the sequel of the first novel "A Child Call It" is about what happened after the first book. This book talks about David’s life from ages 12 to 18 and the first chapters are a rewind to what happened in the first book. After talking about what happened before, David got the chance to get out of home. To escape from his mother that have treated him as an "It". Mother was very frustrated at that time like she is all time and she shouted David to leave the house. As an intelligent kid, David turn around, open the door and left the house. It was night and it was cold but he thought that it was better than living in the basement. But escaping was not going to be the solution, he thought that it was too easy to scape and he thought that it might be a dream. He kept walking until he get to a pizza restaurant, one man was eating and he left the tips. As David saw that he decided to steal the 25 cents he left, one of the man’s working in the pizza restaurant saw that and went to David and said "Why did you get the 25 cents, they are not yours. “David with fear didn’t answer and return the money steeled. As a good men the pizza worker made David enter the restaurant and he promise to give him a piece of pizza. David once he entered the restaurant he felt warm and secure as he haven’t felt for years. But walking at that time and being a kid of so young age was not normal, the pizza men called a police officer to come and get David so he take him to the police station to see what happened to him. After the men gave the pizza to David he told him that he called a police to get him, David after that went crazy. He felt fear of mother and angry of the pizza men reporting him. Once he get to the police station, they called father to get to the police station and explain why he is in the street. Father came and explained that it was a miss understanding and that everything at home is "ok." Father lied to the police men and the police men told David that he can’t left the house because of things like that. But he was wrong, and he can’t judge that because he didn’t knew all the story, the real story. 

David leaving the house

        David after that inconvenient returned to his miserable life, returned to "hell" even when he got the chance to escape from it. One quote that show us how David feel in his head and how mother have destroyed his self stem...

"I wish I were a real person" (21)

        Even thought is a simple phrase, it tells a lot and mostly the need of David leaving the house. He needs urgent help and especially he needs to never see mother again neither return to "The house," He had serious psychological problems, so there is were this quote takes in place and as he said he wished to be a real person. Even though we know he is real person he says that trying to how he is treated. Something I react about this quote is how David can live like this, with that huge feeling of knowing that no one loves you and that you feel like you are invisible and a no one for other people.

        This quote was taken in place by father when he toked out David from the police station and they were in the car getting back to the house. He was telling David how mother was acting and how the house was on "fire" and there is where father told him to try to make her happy.

"Can you just try and make her happy?"(31)

This represent when David is being grounded 

        This quote in my point of view is completely unacceptable, I can’t understand how his one father knowing all the truth of how mother treat David can tell this, David try everything to get a better relationship with her and the mother, the only thing she does is punish him. No child deserves this specially if is a 9 year old one because they do not do nothing and if they do something wrong is because of their innocence.

        Summarizing everything,  this part of the book mostly talks of the same as the first book, about the abuse of mother on David. It also has something new that is when David left the house and that is something that David was scared of and he need to charge a lot of courage to leave the house. Leaving the house was his dream but also his fear. We found another theme in this part that is power and this relates with the power that mother has on David and in his whole house. For the next chapters I predict that mother is going to keep punishing David because of nothing and any time David may be tired and tell a police what is happening to him and they will get mother and help David to scape from this "house of hell."
