3.  John was born into family with a violent and cold-blooded father, whom sent him to a
strict Catholic boarding school in England when he was 13. He had to quickly adjust to
the brutal beatings, sexual abuses and harsh spoken languages at this so called
boarding school.
 During his teenage years, John met mentors, friends, enemies, and even sexual
partners. Bernard, his best friend, was always beside him through tough times and they
helped each other through their long agonizing life at school. Brother Delaney was a
comforting mentor for John, because he saw that John was different from other
students. Wilkinson took advantage of John and was his number one enemy ever since.
John had a healthy relationship with his mother and was always determined to protect
her from his father. In this book, John’s maturity level massively increases in a few years
time. He started out as a weak and scrawny child who couldn’t protect himself from his
awfully hysterical father but as he goes through unforgettable appalling experiences,
he learnt to stand up and defend himself from violence.
 The central theme of this book is courage and determination. John’s courage and
bravery was what kept him alive all those years living with a bunch of ghastly and
inhumane human beings. He adapted well into his new environment and learnt to
make his own decisions as he was growing up.

the brooding terror, the countless malicious caning, peer-to-peer
