Terrance R. Bender

2. Thesis statement
• to ensure the class becomes aware of child
abuse.

3. personal relevance
• Child Abuse became relevant to me
because I myself suffered from the
tragicness.

4. I was angry about the fact that my father would beat my mother on a daily basis, that
my mother would take it in turn and beat on me. I was an abused child. I was mad
about all those things, very bitter and very angry.
--Rick James
