After reading a chapter and a half of the book “A Child Called It” I have met 5 characters in the story so far. The characters are all a family, with it being the mom, dad, the main character (Dave), and his 2 other siblings that are brothers. The relationships change throughout the story, because once the dad leaves the family that’s when the mom begins to turn crazy and abuses her son Dave. When the family is all together and happily living together, everyone is getting along and everyone loves each other. This would be an example of mutualism seeing how everyone is benefiting from one another and nobody is getting hurt. But the relationship between the mother and Dave after the father leaves would be a parasitic relationship because the mother is benefiting in her own weird way and is hurting her son Dave with how she treats him with the games, lack of food, and making him sleep on the cold basement floor. I have yet to figure out the relationship between the brothers, but I’m hoping I will find out soon. There will probably be more relationships to come in the story and I am looking forward to reading more!
