I think the theme of this book is “whatever doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger.” Throughout the book, David was brutally abused and tortured, but he stays strong throughout it. In the book, David says, “That day, I vowed to myself that I would never, ever again give that b**ch the satisfaction of hearing me beg her to stop beating me." He is saying that even though he is getting beat, he will try to find ways to fight through it and become stronger. David’s mother progressively treats him worse, but he becomes stronger despite an increasing sense of isolation. Later in his life, David joined the armed forces. This shows that even though he was abused as a child, he has the self-preservation to join the forces. Also, he has become a motivational speaker, not only to talk about abuse, but to talk about how to believe in yourself.
