How do you feel at the end of the reading today? what about the plot, setting, and/ or characters creates that mood?

At the end of todays reading, in Lost Boy, I thought it was very hard for david to tell the judge the truth about his mom.  I feel  sad because he never gets to see his mom nor brothers ever again. Then i'm happy for david because he doesn't get beaten anymore. He never has to feel the pain he did when he was living with his mom. I also feel bad for him because he doesn't really know how to act in the house because he was locked up in his room or doing chores. He is also really hyper sometimes.
