5th ROAR post

Summary
In my Roar book I read until the finishing point of the book which was very interesting. Bones after leaving went back to Iman for a few days after they decided to go to Jamaica. On their arrival to Jamaica they spent a few days wondering around until they got in touch with Chappies father. When staying at his father's house he lives with a woman who's a whore that had sex with both Iman and Bones. After this Iman was killed for selling fake weed to fellow people from Jamaica. After all this Bones went out on his own and called Russ to speak with him. Russ was the same but a few tragic events happened to where he wants to go to Jamaica with Bones. Bones in addition calls Froggy(Rose)'s mom to check up on her but she died as well. He became furious but kept on his journey on his own. He ended by staying with Captain ave and his little business. Bones decided that he'll be happy no matter where he ends up because everything makes him who he is. He as well looks up at the stars who tell a story about his dead friends and when he needs guidance he just asks the Iman star, that guides him through.
Quotation
"First Adirondack Iron passed into the dark, and then Sister Rose, and finally Lion-I. They were gone and I missed them but even so I was very happy. For the rest of my life no matter where on the planet earth I went and no matter how scared or confused I got, I could wait until dark and look up into the night sky and see my three friends again and my heart would swell with love of them and make me strong and clearheaded"(Banks 380-90).
Reaction
My reaction to this quotation is that Chappie has learned from now on to only depend on himself. He knows that at the end no one but him will always be there and support him. He has grown to learn that if he's born alone , he's going to die alone too. He grew up from how he was before and that made him stronger even though he makes dumb decisions. He needs to learn to make better decisions because his poor decision making is what got him to be counting on destiny. Although he makes poor decisions he follows existentialist since he sticks with his choice. He decides to choose destiny and that's what he does since he goes where the wind takes him.

4th ROAR - 2nd term

Summary
From where I left off at last blog, I now read up to page 225. Up to this page so many events occurred at once and you were pretty much kept in suspense waiting for the next part. Bones has now found Buster and is in the van with him and his daughter Froggy. After Chappie stole his car when he had gotten out , and jet with Froggy . Chappie went back to the Bus place where he met a guy named Iman who they stayed with. Bones stayed with him and they lived out of the plantations they had. After Bones decided to leave and take Froggy who's real name is Rose , back to her mom. They got on a bus back home and Iman supported them and even supported Chappie with money. He left Rose with a random family to watch her until his stop was to his destination. Once he arrived and got in contact with his mom everything got worse. Chappie made his mom choose between him and his stepfather and apparently she didn't choose him. By this Chappie left to his grandmas house where he talked to her then left.
Quotation
Chappie is going to through a difficult stage after hearing the words that came out of his mom's mouth. "Yeah, well, that should make it easy for you to choose, I said. So who's it gonna be, Mom? The terrific husband or the terrible son? "(Banks 207).
Reaction
I felt the pain inside Chappie because he's been alone for so long and then gets rejected by his mom. His mom really chose her husband over her son and told him to go away. I don't know how to react because this is something I can't point out the feeling to. The feeling is like being stabbed since your being rejected probably by the only person who you think cares. Its pretty harsh to have no one there for you and be left with nothing and nobody. If I was put in that position, I would go crazy because I'd be so lost in this cold world.

3rd roar post

Summary

In my Roar book I have read from pages 100- 141, which have left me in shock. In these pages Chappie had went with Russ to get a tattoo over his biker boys tattoo and Chappie ended up getting 2 crossing bones like the ones illustrated in the cover. Now Chappie's new name has become bones, so now I know that the title came from his new identity. After this the boys had left already from that buss they had went to the woods, a house of a family member of Russ. This place was like a vacation place and the boys crashed there for a little bit. They did until the point where Russ decided to go separate ways, so he left Bones all alone. When doing this Bones became very angry at Russ and has left on his own. Bones ended up encountering with Buster again, the man he followed a long time ago at the mall .He is now with Buster up to this point in the book.
My prediction is that he's going to stick around with him for a little and then be on his own again. Bones is going to get tired of being homeless and he's going to go back to his mom. I do not believe that he's going to go a long time alone because he's so young to be left alone in this cold hearted world.

Quotation

Bone now has now been abandoned alone since Russ decided to leave."It was strange to stand there in front of the mirror and see myself like I was my own best friend, a kid I wanted to hang with forever"(Banks 130).

Reaction

Bone believes that he is the only one there for himself which is true. Bone thought that Russ was going to be there but he realized he's on his own at the end. He has changed completely and saw how he is his only friend that he can be with forever. I think that Bone will be alone for the rest of his life because his choice of friends is bad. He doesn't have anyone there for him, therefor he is facing everything at such a young age and on his own . I feel bad for him because he has gone through so much at such a young age.I hope he finds a solution because he can't go through life how he is.
