More Problems

David riding his bike

      David with his new family is very happy, he is enjoying a lot. But he is having some problems, with Larry Jr. Since they meet each other they have set their differences, bot didn't like each other. So Larry was a type of bully and because he was bigger he treated David very bad, one day when David just get to the house after he ride his bike, Larry didn't let him get to his room and he started insulting him, Katy that is another foster child leaving in the house said Larry to stop. Larry Jr turned around and discuss with Katy. David was furious and he wanted to fight with Larry, so they get down to the basement and David punched Larry Jr, this wasn't a big deal because Larry was very big so he didn't even feel the punches. Then Lilian open the door of the house and get down to the basement and she was very mad at Larry. She did knew that David got a ¨rivalry¨ with Larry and she talked with Larry. After that incident Lilian knew that David need some help and she toked David to the psychiatric. David has very meek and didn't talk with the doctor(psychiatric), the doctor asked many questions of mother, of how did he felt when she burned his arm, or why did she abused him. This question made very angry to David he felt very uncomfortable. So David started hating this doctor he said he was crazy and he need to keep going to talk to him. A week later when David went to the doctor again, he told Lilian he didn't want to go again that he didn't like this doctor, so Lilian accepted Davids petition and canceled the date. When all of this psychiatric stuff passed, David had a good relationship with big Larry, one day big Larry invited David to a little trip on  their bikes, they were going threw all the  city until they reached the ex school of David, he felt quite good, feeling the air and watching the kids playing outside. They keep going and they reach the street where mother house was. He told big Larry that here was where he used to live, and he asked if they could pass through. Big Larry without knowing the consequences that this would bring accepted, they ride in front of mother house and David felt that he saw his brothers and he ran out of that street. Once they reach home, Lilian received them with a bad news. That David mother called to tell what are they doing near her house. They felt ashamed and didn't knew it was a big deal, but Lilian explained that if they do that one more time or if they just be near of Mrs. Pelzer (Davids mother) she can have the right to take David with her.


    David had a discussion with Larry Jr, and they both said some very bad thing to each other. They fighted because they're differences and since Larry was older he had advantage, this discussion was not that simple as an discussion but they sort of punch each other. One moment Larry said to David...

"An insect with no brain! And that's what you're going to be if you keep doing that!"(139)

       This is what Larry said to David, is quite similar to some things that mother said to David. So with this we know that David was still with problems and this show us that this family was not that good was we thought. David may have this problems with Larry for many time and he any time would even feel as if he was with mother, with all the abuse and horrible past that he had.

       Now many of us might think that David just have some problems with Larry Jr, but is not like that. Big Larry is also a very complicated person, at first he was very kind and good with David but then he changed. Just as mother. He started being very mad and he just like exploded once any one made something wrong. Like one event that showed us he is different as he thought and he said...

"But I don't really need your crap. You hear me?"(168)

         This is a very rude tone to talk to a kid, this may hurt a lot David feelings and they way he sees his new family would change. He might have a sort of un trust with both Larrys and now since he have someone that will take care of him (Lilian) David way of behaving will change. Now he will make some more trouble in the house and he will fight with both Larrys when they say something to him that he don't likes. If they cause problems to David he will fight back and cause more problems with them, and if this happens they new family will no longer be a good family.

Represents Big Larry talking with David

          Summarizing my thoughts, David does not have the perfect family as we thought and as he thought. He is having problems with Larry and Big Larry. At least he have some family love of Lilian, that she takes a lot of care of him, she is very patient with David and she gives a lot of love to him. I predict that the new family is going to be very tired of David of his bad habits and they re are going to be more strict and bad with him. I also say that Larry Jr is going to have more problems with David and there would no be a secure environment in the house. David will also change and be more rude with all his family members and he would start giving problems to them. The theme we can see in this part is patience because of how the new family have been with David and how good they are with him for the bad things he do.
