1.     Rule of the Bone/Russell Banks/ 4/23- 4/24

2.    Pages 1-23

3.    A boy that stole his mom’s coin and sold it to get weed. Then he goes to a lingerie store and shoplifted again.

4.     Will steal again from his mom?

      Will he ever stop smoking weed?

5.   “When I got busted for shoplifting it was in this fancy lingerie store called Victoria’s Secret and i was already out the store with a silky green nightgown stashed in my jacket pocket.”

     I choose this because you can see that instead of just buying the nightgown he had to steal it. He could just buy thenightgown and nothing wouldn’t happen to buy and the security wouldn’t have to call his mom and stepdad. I think he embrassed his mom and stepdad.
