Summary: After Russ and Chappie got their tattoos and changed their names they looked for a place to stay. Russ had an uncle who owns a house that they never stay at but check up on from time to time. They sneak into the house and stay there for a little bit and live off of everything they had at the house. They ate spaghetti daily and never washed any dishes and never cleaned up, didn't have much to do but watch TV and some board games. One day they found Joints in the house and split it up since they felt they needed some but Chappie, or bone, found a gun and didn't tell Russ about it also. After a while they started arguing with each other and not seeing each other and then Russ decides to leave. He decides to go back to his aunts house, and when he tells Bone about this he's hurt and cries a little. After Russ leaves Bone takes on his new identity by cutting his mohawk and taking off his earring and nose ring and he is comfortable with it and accepts it. Then he decides to go to Albany so he starts to hitch hike but the driver that picks him up was the same guy he met at the mall that he ran away from. Instead of going to Albany now he's going to Plattsburgh with him, and throughout the ride he keeps it cool and doesn't do anything that will push the guy.
Quote:"I took out my nose ring for the first time in a year and my earrings too and laid them on the counter. for a second it felt funny like I was going to sneeze but then it felt more normal than ever." (Banks 130)
Reaction: This is a very powerful quote after Chappie, who changed his name to bone, now is by himself after Russ abandoned him and left. He goes to the bathroom of Russ' uncles' house and makes a new identity of himself by taking off his earrings and nose ring and cutting off his mohawk and this all felt normal to him, which really meant that he's a new person now.
