Rule of the Bone #66-108

Summary: In these pages Russ comes up with the idea of stealing the stolen VCR's and computers from the bikers and make a profit from it with Chappie but he denies the offer and Russ does it on his own. At first Russ was successful  but when he was out one day Bruce (leader of the bikers) noticed that some were missing. Chappie didn't tell him that Russ did it but he did tell him that he didn't do it. Then he tied him up and locked him up in Russ' room and plotted what they were going to do next, after a while of banging his head on the window to get people's attention he gave up but started again when he saw Russ pull up and Russ came in to his surprise through the porch and in the window. Then the curtains caught fire and they fled quickly and after a while the flame grew throughout the whole house. After watching the flame they fled and stole a volunteer firemen's truck and planned to crash at this junkyard where there was this bus where they stayed with these brothers who dropped out of college named James and Richard who owned the bus. They sold the truck they stole to the brothers and decided to get a new tattoos and a cover art for Russ. Then they changes their names and identity, Russ changed it to Buck and due to Chappie's skull and bones tattoo he changed his name to Bone.

Quote: "They had hoses snaked all over the place and were shooting hard heavy streams of water into the fire but it was like the fire was alive and the water was its food that only made it grow larger and hungry for more" (Banks 82)

Reaction: This quote was explaining the moment when the house Russ and Chappie was living in with the bikers caught on fire and they had escaped and were watching from another yard. This is a STRONG quote that catches the imagery of the roaring fire and the firemen's efforts to put it out. "but it was like the fire was alive and the water was its food" this quote uses personification to show the imagery of the fire feeding off of the water being used to put it out and it continuing to grow and burn.
