RULES OF THE BONE BY:Russell Banks 4/23/08

Why does chappie smoke weed?

Chappie smokes weed because it takes his self-esteam away, he forgets about the problems he has and it makes him feel better.

Did Chappie do the right thing when he stole the coins?

Chappie didn’t do the right thing because he stole something that was valueable to his mom.

Chappie is a kid that likes to smoke weed and get out of school early because he things is a cool thing to do. He ends up stealing some coins from his mom wich he tought it was his step-father’s coins. He does this because he wants to smoke weed but he didn’t have money to buy some. “This one afternoon i came from school …. I was taking a look in to thier bedroom closet…two black breifcases that i’d never seen before…Then i reamembered the other briefcase and went b ack to the closet and sad down and opened it. Inside are all these baggies, thirty or forty of them filled with coins”  ” A little smoke though and all  that irritation and neveousness and my wicked low self-esteem immediately went away. They say weed makes you paranoid but for me is was the opposite.
