Rule of the bone (Literature essay)

Rule of the BoneIn Rule of the Bone, Chappie is a teenage misfit who lives in a psychologically unstable environment in Au Sable in upstate New York. His mother is an alcoholic and his stepfather Ken constantly sexually abuses him. Marijuana addiction forces him to steal from his family until his mother finds out and kicks him out of the house. Chappie’s failed relationship with his family influences him to seek for people who truly care about him. The years of sexual abuse and denial from his parents don’t break Chappie down, but only motivate him to find his new identity and friends who teach him important life lessons.After the expulsion from his mother, Chappie stays with his best friend Russ and a biker gang. He decides to erase his family from his mind and considers Bruce, the leader of the biker gang, as a new family. Chappie feels Bruce cares about him and treats him as a friend, “here’s my little buddy” (P. 60). Once, Bruce saved Chappie from embarrassment moment: when Joker, p, yet he does it “gently” (P.74). However, the bikers can’t finish their interrogation, because the Roundhouse accidently turns into fire. In the humble attempt to rescue Chappie from the burning house, Bruce dies. This event shocks Chappie so much, so he considers Bruce as a hero.Because the gang doesn’t see how Chappie getting out of the fire alive, everybody presumes he is dead. This “death” is a chance for Chappie to escape from his dreadful past and start a new life from scratch. Thus, he changes his name to Bone and makes a “crossed bones tattoo (P. 106). After living with Russ in a summerhouse for three months, Russ leaves Chappie. This makes Chappie to look back and admit that he is not the same person anymore: the fire in the Roundhouse helps him to feel who he really is and what social niche he occupies, “I didn’t look like I used to anymore… I looked more like a true intentional outlaw now” (P. 130). Thus, he decides that his new identity should match with his appearance: hs the summerhouse, Bone meets Froggy, whose real name is Rose, and I-man, a middle-aged Rastafarian. They become his second new family. I-Man teaches him about “thankfulness,” “vegetarianism,” and constantly repeats how “cool” their union is (P. 152). While they live in the abandoned school bus, Bone finally feels “happy”, so he takes care of the garden and learns wisdom from I-Man (P.164). Also, I-man introduces Bone into Rastafarian religion. After a while, three of them get really “closer,” learn to trust each other, and perform chores together (P. 160). He feels “for the first time”, he “found a real home and a real family” (P. 167). Later, Bone decides Rose needs to be reunited with her real mother, because she is “very young,” and she needs parents. He doesn’t see himself or I-man as good parents for Rose because of their outlaw status (P. 167).Being away from his real family, sometimes makes Bone miss his mother. Firstly, he does not want to visit his mother because “she didn’t with Ken, which forces Bone to demand that his mother has to “choose” between him and Ken. After his mother choses Ken over Bone and again kicks him out of the house, “stay out of it,” “Go away,” Bone leaves Au Sable and never comes back (P. 204, 208).After the unsuccessful attempt to reconcile with his mother, Bone goes to Jamaica with I-man, where he accidently meets his biological father. Their reunion gives him a temporal feeling of euphoria and “happiest moment” (P. 284). Like his mother, his father is delighted to see him at first, “you are my son,” “he hugged me again” (P. 284). However, Bone feels that “he wasn’t what you’d call a normal father.” Moreover, one incident between his father and I-man makes him leave his father and go with I-man inland, I-man’s home village in Accompang (P. 291). Because Bone is white, he has to live in a small bamboo cabin outside of the town, where he spends several “happy” months (p. 311). While he lives in Jamaica, I-man teaches him a “real Rasls white, “something stops me” (P. 324). Few days later, I-man is murdered, and Bone blames himself in I-man’s death, “it was my fault” (P. 340). To compound his grief, he finds out that Rose dies of pneumonia right after she returns to her hometown.Bone realizes that all his friends he got on his uneasy lifepath are dead, but he realizes they forever will be in his heart. Moreover, they taught him how to live and helped him to grow up, “I wasn’t a kid anymore” (P. 355). At the end of the book, he recalls his journey and friends: Rose, I-man and “loved big bad Bruce,” admitting everything he learns in his life come through his love towards them, “It wouldn’t have been me, if it hadn’t been for Sister Rose and I-man and everything I learned about myself and life from coming to love them” (P. 384). Even though his friends are not around anymore, they leave him wisdom and hope, which he can apply in his future, “ Sister Rose, and I-man and even Bruce had left me with riches that I could dE 1
