'I am David'. Doesn't that make you think someone is introducing himself to you? Well, my name is NOT David and 'I am David' is actually the name of a book. I think this is a boring,yet interesting book. David, is too grown up for his age. He is always acting like an adult even though he is only twelve, equivalent to a Primary 6 child. Somehow, he can make his way all the way from Bulgaria to Denmark. To me, it is truly amazing.I mean, nowadays, if you ask a twelve-year-old to go to ,like, Kuala Lumpur on his or her own and on foot, they might just stare at you as if you were crazy and would not move at all. If they did start to go, they would be helpless and would most likely get lost or something like that.
My friend was telling us the negative things about David. For example, he is a liar and a murderer. But, he is only lying for his own safety and he is a murderer in an indirect way(the dog sacrificed itself for him). However, there are still many good points about David. He is very polite to everyone, even his captors. That, many of us cannot do. Many of us are rude to certain people when we are angry or hate or dislike the person we are speaking to.
All in all, I like the book 'I am David' as it tells us the hardships a boy faced on his journey to freedom. It is very moving in some parts and when you have finished reading it, you might have tears in your eyes like me and you will feel relieved that David's hardships are over.
