“I am David” was a book written by Anne Holm who has gotten a lot of inspiration from World War 2 Survivors, and that were willing to tell and share their stories with her.

The theme of this chapter is mercy. We can experience mercy from God everyday in our lives. God said that he will forgive the evil things that we did if we ask for forgiveness. David asked God to show mercy and do not let him be with the evil. It is not only David who can ask for mercy. We can also ask God for mercy and help us not fall into evil.

David escapes the labor camp and runs after he climbs over the fence. He then stops running because he feels fearless. David stops running also because he wants the guards to feel cheated.

David escapes with thoughts of getting shot by them. He thinks that he

The book never had this. In the novel, David had left his home when he was so young he didn’t know anything about his life. In the movie, David knows who he’s looking for but in the book he’s all alone in the world, he has no where to go. In the book, he has no evidence to believe he has a mother so it’s his faith that keeps him going. In the book he could’ve been searching for something that wasn’t there, someone that wasn’t there. Unlike the movie where he knows his mother exists he just has to find her. David needed to be even more brave in the book and when he does find his mother it’s more of a victory in the book because he beat the odds, and his faith and belief led him home.

David was destined to fight enemies with his unwavering strength but in front of me, he let his jaw tremble ever so slightly. I feared that we both knew all too well what was to come, though we could not put our thoughts into words. Our sadness and fear could only be sensed through our wavering glances and trembling hands. We embraced one last time, heavy with the weight of our separated destinies, and he walked away, his back hunched over, towards where he came from. I knew I was to see him tomorrow but fate had already decided for us

He shows that he is brave and daring because he wanted to escape and actually did.

David hides in a delivery van and gets a ride. While David is in the van he thinks he hears his old friend Johannes who died from a heart attack. David gets a ride on a boat. The man on the boat gave David a life belt and threw him out the ship. David was in the water for several hours. When David finally got to the shore he sees the beauty of the country and he cries.

David Carver was abducted with his family by Collie Entragian. He always has hope and is faithful; he believes it was his job to serve and love God. Throughout the novel, he uses this to motivate him. Within the first couple hours of being in Desperation, both his sister, father, and mother were murdered. Although this is immensely tough, he tried to prevent this from happening to others. For example, he risked his life to find another person. He stated, “‘ I can find him. He’s close...I’m supposed to find him’” (King 596). David was courageous in this moment because he knew the risks and still went out to find John Marinville. This action speaks volumes about David’s character and the overall theme. For example, David knew he could face a similar fate as his family, but he fought against the demon. Instead of fearing what Tak might do, he focused on helping others and escaping. He overcame Tak because of the courage he had, not by using anything

Let your old man in on the secret, can’t you?” (Baldwin 91). As much as this letter is killing David inside, he continues to read on. His father also writes, “is it a woman David? Bring her on home. I don’t care who she is” (Baldwin 91). David knew that he was not able to tell his father the real reason as to why he left America. Also, David states, “…the vision I gave my father of my life was exactly the vision in which I myself most desperately needed
