Rule of the Bone #43-66

Summary: Now that Chappie is permanently living with Russ and the Biker gang, Adirondack Iron, he is now a part of the them and as Bruce calls it they are "fam-i-ly"(Banks 43). While in the apartment with them he sees and goes through hell and experiences some crazy stuff. For example there is one biker that threatened  to cut his Mohawk and there is a weird way to stop him which was to pull his collar real hard. Then they were all about to get evicted because of the biker gang's ruckus and Russ' lack of keeping up with the video store but with Russ' negotiation they got to stay. Now the Biker gangs are starting to steal appliances and sell them for a lot of money to some friends in NY. Russ is trying to rush into the deal with them but it failed and was about to get beat up by Bruce and Chappie comes in and saves him before it happens.

Quote: "in winter the snow keeps reality like clean and covered in white but in spring you see everything too much for what it is" (Banks 50)

Reflection: Chappie, the main character explains why he doesn't like the winter, mostly because he feels as though the winter hides everything especially reality and when winter is gone and the snow is gone you get to see the ugly and dirty truth thats been lying underneath all the snow.

  2. its true for his experience that it foreshadows his real feelings about him missing home and his mother.
