Blog for Week of Dec. 15

Prompt: Do any of the character's feelings change as you've read? Explain why or why not?

       The character's feelings in the book A Child Call "It" do change. The mother of David changes her feelings a lot. Before, she was the perfect mother. She would clean the house till it was spotless, make good food for her family and spent a lot of time as a family. Her feelings all of a sudden changed. She changed from a loving, caring mother to a mother who pushes their kid's face to a mirror and forces him to say "I'm a bad boy!" over and over again. She didn't just change her feelings for David, she also changed them for her husband. Before they would always go out on picnics and now the husband is always cautious for little things like talking to David, because if the mother were to see them talking to each other, they would both be in trouble.

       David's feelings also change. He use to love his mom before any of the abuse. He loved her because they would go on picnics together and she would surprise the family with gifts. He also loved his brothers and father. He then had hatred towards his mother because she would abuse him to the point where he would be scared to even look her in the eye. He started hating his brothers because they never got abused by his mother, they would tell lies about things he did just so they can watch him get hit. Before he loved his dad and his dad loved him. The dad would always protect him from the mom abusing him. Then that changed to the point where he doesn't even care if we just got punched by his mother.

       I picked a yin yang as my picture for this blog. I did this because the white part stands for yin, which is more of a negative thing. Yang is more of a positive thing. Then there is the opposite color dot in both of the other sides. So it shows that there is good in evil and evil in good. This reminded me of this book because all of them have a little good and a little evil in them. At some points each character shows either their good side or their bad sides, depending on whats going on in the story or depending on what part the story is being read.
