Child abuse. This is what has gotten everyone in class talking. Everyone thinks that it's either the mother or the father's fault that this abuse is happening. Some say there were ways out of this abusive relationship and others know it's hard to get out of. Either way this happens in the US and probably even worse all over the world. There are tons of hearsay facts that I can spout off but we all know them. This book is the best one that we have read all quarter because it really got us thinking....and talking.
  Just imagine being or knowing any of these characters and put them to life. One day, if you haven't experienced it already, you will be a part of an abusive relationship (physical, emotional, or even sexual). Your neighbor's wife, your cousin's child, the person who works next to you in the cubicle, or the person who teaches your children could OR will be abused with your knowledge of it. What are you going to do then? Put that question to heart and hopefully everyone will know what to do but until you are in that situation you seriously won't know what your decision will be. With knowledge of abuse comes consequences and whether you are ready to face those or not will be decided when it actually happens.
