Dave Pelzer in A Man Named Dave is a spacious and lost individual. He doesn't know who he is because his mother has brainwashed him to think he is simply a waste of space. Dave doesn't want to be on Earth and he thinks God hates him. I know this because way back in chapter one, Dave explains, "I close my eyes as tightly as I can and mumble a quick prayer, even though I know God hates me."
Dave Pelzer now travels the country inspiring others because of his childhood. In Dave's declaration of independence to his mother, he says, "All those years you tried your best to break me, and I'm still here. One day you'll see, I'm going to make something of myself."
