Analysis Of A Child Called It By Dave Pelzer

Dave Pelzer was the author and main character in A Child Called It. He was born in Daly City, CA on December 29, 1960. His parents are Stephen and Catherine Pelzer. He has 4 other brothers. He was rescued at age 12. He is now 56 years old. He is important because he was the victim one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. He grew up to become an American author and write 16 books. When he was 3-12 he was abused by his unstable and alcoholic mother. His brothers were brainwashed into hating him.

Instead focusing on them, he worked really hard on grades. He was good at school and I admire that. He is a strong person who learned how to get through tough times and help others. He has accomplished a lot in his life so far. He has been on many talk shows such as Oprah. A lot of people interview David. They are all super amazed to just see how great he is. A Brother’s Journey and A Teenager’s Journey are two of Richard Pelzer, Dave’s brother, books. This book gives an accurate account of this subject because David Pelzer wrote it.
