The kingdom described in "The Lady or the Tiger" is a highly structured and hierarchical society, where the ruling class holds all the power and dictates the lives of the common people. The judicial system is based on the principle of "trial by ordeal," where the accused is presented with two doors, behind one of which lies either a deadly tiger or a beautiful lady, chosen by the victim's own heart. This system is meant to be a test of the accused's guilt or innocence, as it is believed that their own emotions will guide them towards the door that represents their true nature.
However, this system is highly flawed and subjective, as it relies on the assumption that a person's emotions can accurately reflect their guilt or innocence. In reality, a person's feelings are often complex and difficult to understand, and can be influenced by a variety of factors such as fear, anxiety, and stress. Moreover, the fact that the victim has no control over which door they choose means that the outcome is entirely random, and their fate is left to chance rather than justice.
Despite its flaws, the kingdom's ruling class upholds the trial by ordeal as a fair and just system, and any attempts to challenge or reform it are met with fierce resistance. This is because the ruling class benefits from the status quo, as it allows them to maintain their power and control over the populace. The common people, on the other hand, live in fear of the trial by ordeal, as it represents a constant threat to their well-being and freedom.
Overall, the kingdom described in "The Lady or the Tiger" is a society characterized by rigid social hierarchies and a flawed justice system that serves the interests of the ruling class at the expense of the common people.
A Child Called "It"
I was not comfortable with that, but even as I write this, I am aware that I sound judgmental. Why, when his father left, didn't he take Dave with him? He is truly an inspiration and deserves the utmost respect for what he is doing now. He also had a brother who was healthy and happy who would tell his teachers that his younger brother had fallen over when asked about his injuries. Because they are "acceptable" targets. Or even physically attack.

Then the children that they treated nicely often lie that there was no abuse because they don't want their mother dragged through the mud and they still feel their brother or sister deserved the abuse anyway. That is basically what happened. Why didn't his father help him? I tend to believe the idea that his stories were greatly exaggerated.
A Child Called 'It': Sebuah Kisah Nyata Perjuangan Seorang Anak untuk Bertahan Hidup by Dave Pelzer
I hardly think reading a few books makes you qualified to decide whether this book is fact or fiction. Victim blaming occurs because people don't want these things to exist. . We read about children dying from abuse every year but still people have to try and deny it. I don't need to touch that do I? What I am saying is his stories seem exaggerated to the point of fiction. Richard, one of the brothers, was then used as her punching bag once dave was taken away.
His father neglected him, or didn't protect him to a certain extent, due to the power his mother had over the family. Just because something is fictional doesn't take away from the truth pulled from it's pages. Seems to me like it's only for money. As time passes, David's punishments became more cruel and dangerous. Pelzer's mother made up the lie he was taken for setting fires to everyone to protect her own reputation but her son Richard has since come forward with two books about how after David left he became the new substitute for her to abuse. Having said that, I have read many articles summarizing the events of the book, interviews with the author, and various reviews from reputable sources.
I would also like to point out that in the 70's life was very different. She even explains why and she also says she knows that children are abused but then most of you repeat like a parrot one person's reply who said that Katie is in denial. It just is so, please check the facts. A stab to the stomach later it was switched to the heart in another book but I'll stick with stomach is something that requires immediate medical attention. A sadistic personality is not something someone can keep hidden for long once they've snapped which is seems she did: normal one day and then psychotic the next. .
. I also see how some people can think he at least exaggerated a bit in his stories due to the extensive abuse his mother had put him through, however the story was not entirely impossible. So Dave is now a cardiac surgeon who performed surgery on himself? Bath water doesnt run if it is ice! I'm sure you will forgive me if I continue to keep an open mind until someone comes up with a better argument. I don't understand why everyone keeps going on about how there are people who "choose not to believe" in child abuse. Regarding his mother, she seemed to display traits of Borderline Personality Disorder, which of course no one can actually say for sure. It takes a long time to sort things out and there are many things to sort out. When the writer told him that his brother made these revelations, Dave told the writer that this brother was "semiretarded.
I guess the only reason people aren't crying "false" on her accounts is because she isn't here to confirm or deny, and it would be tacky to call the deceased a liar. No one ever should dismiss someones claims of abuse, they are brave enough to come forward, even write about it in books like these so we can all learn how recoginze it and put a stop to it. I could conclude she had borderline personality disorder, from what I read, but does that make a difference in what she did? Rather than assume people skimmed perhaps assume you don't know enough about the subject and do more research. The fact that Richard's story is so similar but has some very distinct differences that show that Rovera is afraid to go as far with Richard as she did with David Richard is not starved at all and Richard is made to eat worstershier sauce instead of the amonia that could have killed David, shows her only concern is that this time her child does not wind up close to death causing others to notice, with Richard she does the same horrifying emotional abuse and neglect but leaves out the extreme physical tortures and never starves him and lets him get emaciated like David. People seem to want the how-to rather than just the logical facts pointed out so here it goes. Parents with personality disorders frequently choose one or two children to focus all their rage and self hate on.
I found a link a while back about children who actually lost their fight. A Child Called It PDF It is an amazing Abused children book written by Dave Pelzer and published by Gollancz. My concern stems from the sequels into adulthood where he seems to carry on and not get healthy. I never ever heard such a thing as people thinking it is a fake story. It's very convient because then they can say "See nothing is wrong with me cause I treat my other children nice so it's just the bad kid. Finally, you instuct people to check their facts because you say 'it just is.
