Games

Brief Summary

David's mom is'nt torturing David now because she thinks he deserves it, now she does it just because she takes it as a game. She likes leaving David on the bathroom with really dangerous toxics which are able to kill him. But when things really got serious was the night of the accident. David's mom had been drinking that night, and somehow, David knew something was abou to go wrong. His father, the only man who barely stood up for him, had gone out of the house. 
He was alone with his mother, and while he was washing the dishes he began acting rude to his mom. She lost her balance while having a knife on her hand, throwing the knife right into David's stomach. She didnt take him to the hospital, she cleaned and vandaged the wound, leaving David on intense agony.





Interesting Quotes

"I wanted to show The B**** that she could only beat me only if I died, and I was determined not to give in, even to death." p91

It is outstanding how David is so brave, even when he has been through all that. He just got stabbed, but he doesnt cares about it, he is just dealing with the pain like if it was a common thing to do. But in what he is really focused is on proving that he can outsamrt his mom, that she isnt superior to him.


"I felt proud of myself. I imagine myself like a character in a comic book, who overcame great odds and survived. Soon my head slumped forward and I fell asleep. In my dream, I flew through the air in vivid colors. I wore a cape of red . . . I was Superman.” p98

David is just so happy that he won this "game" mother has. He doesnt gets happy for getting a new toy or something little kids enjoy, one of his very few joys is staying alive, he has a terrible life and he can still enjoy some parts of it.
