     A Child Called It

 

 

 This quarter i read A Child Called It by Dave Peltzer. It was tight but really sad at the same time, I could almost feel a tear drop building up in my eye. But the steel curtain in my heart would not let me shed a tear for this young boy.

Dave Peltzer was actually the child in the book. He was abused and mistreated by his mother after his father left the house.

 

 

Quotes:

     Dick Gregory was born and raised in the ghetto of St. Louis, Missouri. When he was young he was raised in a house that had no power or water and slept in a bed with all his brothers and sisters. When he got into high school he became passionate with running and made himself into a track and cross country star. He went to college were he ended up not meeting his expectations and later became a comedian. He went through ups and downs until he finally hit it big as a comedian, and he moved his wife and family into a new house. He went on to become one of the top comedians and a big civil rights leader.

 

 

 

 

    

 

 

I really liked the book i thought it was good. It was intresting to see what it would be like to live in a ghetto back in the day when racism was normal. It was cool that he kept fighting and never settled for anything.

 

 

 

Quotes:

 

"Hey, Flo, gonna take the little monkey home with you?"

 

"I'm sorry, Mister Gregory, but you know you cant sit in the orchestra."

 

"I felt the monster coming back out."
