Mood

  The mood the author wants you to experience or what you experience while reading "  A child called it " is sorrow and pity, the mood that comes across to me is sadness and it makes me aware that these cases of abuse do happen worldwide. It makes me feel bad for David because this was a true story that the author went through. It makes me grateful that this isn't happening to me or my friends.

Bell ringer

The author makes me feel sad because the character is talking about how he's being abused, it makes me feel pity towards him because he's being put through horrible conditions like starvation and physical and mental abuse.

Foreshadowing

What happened so far is that David's mom was drunk and she stabbed him in accident and tried to cover  it up, but the nurses at school are questioning it. He always has to make up an excuse for his dad.
