I finished reading "The Lost boy." i read from 35-298. It took me a lot of hours but since i was really into the book, it didnt seem that long to me. The rest of the book was about dave and his adventures threw the fostor care system, trying to be accepted by his peers, stealing, facing his mother and fathers, being in jail and most of all searching for the love of a family. So far i came up with a couple possible topics for my essay. this topics are: peer pressure, wanting to fit in to a group, maturing, or the American Dream according to dave. One type of symbalism that dave uses in both the Child called it and in The Lost boy is that he could fly. This is important because he would also star out the window in his mothers basement and prentend he could fly away from his problems. He was really interested in flying so once he was 18 he joined the army.
