Chapter 7 ~ The Lord's Prayer
As Davids hatred grew his hope and faith faded. he felt as though there is no god, and if there was David sure wasn't on his good side. He felt more alone then ever before. David had turned all of his emotions off and the only thing that he had left was hatred. Even though he tried to resisted his mothers wrath it was no successes. his whole life crashed before his eyes. his family and friends left him to drown in his sorrow even his father. the one person he thought he had any chance of surviving. his hero. his savior had left him. he was alone with no where to go, and all he wanted and wished for was to end his life. end his life from this forsaken nightmares that he can not wake up to. only then will he have to suffer no more.

I didn't read this part of the book yet but your entry makes me pretty sure it's going to make me cry a lot.
ReplyDeleteHow do you feel about David's father's role in all this? He seems to turn a blind eye much of the time. Should he be held accountable in some way?
ReplyDeletei dont really think he should considering he didnt know what else to do... im sure he cared alot about david... its just his father was confused and didnt know how to handle the situation any better and since every his father and mother fought she would always blame david and take it out on him, his father probably thought he was protecting him from more abuse that didnt need to take place because of him.... im not saying that his father is totally innocent but hes not totally in the wrong either..
DeleteI think David stopped believing in God because, David would pray almost every night and he prayed for the beatings to stop but nothing would happen, only once when he was around five. He prayed for his mother to get sick for the beatings to stop and which they did when she was sick.
ReplyDeleteDavid lost all faith in God because he prayed every night for the abuse to stop but it never happened. It only got worse
