My skin seemed toe explode from the heat. I could smell the scorched hairs from my burnt arm.” (Pelzer 40)

Challenges – What were his challenges in his early life? abuse gradually came from his brothers also; took advantage of him and viewed him as a family slave with continual bullying (Pelzer 36) “When they approached me, my heart became hard as tone, and I am sure that they saw the hate etched in my face.” (Pelzer 135)
