During this weeks required reading, I've noticed much growth in David's maturity and responsibility  After the death of David's mother, he begins to grow a stronger relationship with Peggotty. Peggotty is David's real support system through all the neglect and suffrage that the Murdstone's put him through. David goes on to work in Murdstone's dark, cold and dirty warehouse, rinsing out bottles and pasting labels onto them at the age of only ten years old. David is soon forced to live with complete strangers, Mr. and Mrs. Micawber. Even though they are strangers to David, he has a good friendship with the Micawber family and continues to work through the daily hassles of life. I was very pleased that David took off and took the initiative to go search for his aunt Miss betsy, who turned out to be his guardian and care giver.
