Bone Quotes

What if you were told a legend that there were three skeletons, gleaming with phosphorescent light, dancing over a small rock, screaming. Would you be longing to go? Answer would be as obvious as is asking if rain is dry. The story Three Skeleton Key is a horror story about three lighthouse keepers on an isolated island off the coast of Guiana, the same island as the legend suggests. While they are there, a horde of ferocious rats suddenly raid the island off of a boat, attacking the narrator, Le Gleo, and Itchoua. After reading and analyzing the horror fable Three Skeleton Key, I believe that the overall moral of the story, or meaning, is that one’s outlook and approach to challenges determines the outcome of the challenge or situation that the

As H. Jackson Brown Jr. said, “You can not change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust the sails”. This quote and your novel I feel truly fit together like a puzzle piece. Recently completing your book, Elsewhere, has made me notice the importance of making the most of life and that when it seems hard, it’s just part of growing up. Especially with both characters Owen and Elizabeth, you see a true difference in their personality from beginning to end. Even though on the outside the characters are getting younger, internally they are maturing and learning to move on. I could really relate to these characters as they struggle through their life in Elsewhere, by completing their goals that I can relate to in my own life on Earth. Letting

First off, Alex is clever and curious in the book Skeleton Key. He was clever throughout the book so far. At the start of the book it says, “He ran on tip toe… Now was the time to move” (Horowitz 135-136). This quotes explains that he was on a yacht and saw that one of his partners was in trouble and being held hostage. Alex thought a diversion quickly, which was to set the yacht on fire. His goal was to get everyone outside to help put out the fire while Alex and his partner escaped without being seen. It went exactly as planned, but the boss was still in the room and he had to kill him to save his partner. Further, the second reason he is clever is how he fought the security guard. During the fight he is thinking how is he going to attack the enemy and defend him while trying to find an escape during the fight.

We often believe that the protagonist of a story is a hero and possesses heroic qualities such as moral goodness, courage and selflessness. However, this is not true for every story. A story can have a protagonist who is an anti-hero: someone who lacks the traditional qualities of a hero. Anti-heroes are defined in three ways: The Satanic anti-hero, a character who seeks an evil goal through evil means, the Promethean anti-hero, someone who seeks a worthy goal but by unethical means, and the Byronic anti-hero, a character who has undefined goals and are to be achieved through questionable means, in which this character is often unpredictable mysterious, moody, and self-destructive. Both Macbeth from William Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth and Pink from the film, Pink Floyd – The Wall, are both anti-heroes. More specifically, Macbeth is classified as a satanic anti-hero who seeks the goal to become king and Pink is a Byronic anti-hero, who has no clear goal other than to escape the ‘wall’ he is trapped in. Some similarities these two characters share are that they are both privileged (with Macbeth being a well-praised warrior and Pink being a famous musician), are supported by corrupting influences and rationalize their worse deeds as needing to preserve their own safety. Although Macbeth and Pink share similar characteristics, I would assert, because of Pink’s childhood traumas, that Pink deserves more sympathy than Macbeth.

This is the quote I have chosen, because it just sounds cool. Just kidding I heard this quote in the movie Unbroken. It was a good movie and was based off a true story about Louis Zamperini’s life and the things he had to go through like, World War Two.

Russell Banks’s “Rule of the Bone” is about a young outcast attacking life on his own terms. Chappie Dorset, also known as Bone, learns early on that the world is not all happy tales. Chappie’s exposure to drugs, alcohol, and molestation, causes him to learn this at a young age. As a cry for help, Chappie displays destructive behavior in hope for his mother to see his internal and emotional pain. Instead, society and his family label him as a lost cause. Rather than jumping to conclusions and making judgments against troubled teenagers, Banks shows their side of the story. Some way Banks conveys his message is by creating reoccurring themes, such as acceptance of the world and its flaws, and knowing yourself. Chappie’s journey teaches him valuable lessons.

In “Richard Bone”, Mr. Bone describes a self imposed emotional isolation. He is new to Spoon River and finds work carving tombstones; consequently, he does not know the citizens well enough to know if they speak the truth or are making a last effort to glorify their deceased loved ones. In lines 8-9 Bone discloses, “And I chiseled for them whatever they wished, / All in ignorance of its truth.” Initially, he is emotionally isolated; however, Mr. Bone chooses to venture out of his comfort zone and into the community where he learns the truths and complexities that compose the citizens of Spoon River. This leads one to assume that when he found himself unhappy with his seclusion he sought to change his situation, a worthwhile decision. As he lives among them he becomes privy to the truthfulness of the epitaphs, but continues to carve the false eulogies although one can infer that Bone does this partially to keep his standing in the community, as not to return to his state of isolation.

When first introduced to Bones, I connected with his views of subpar parents and delinquent friends. Although I can’t empathize with the sexual abuse, I can empathize with need to be away from a toxic home environment. In Bones world he views adults as a nuisance and the adults view him the same way. When

The source of Bone’s fantasies comes from a specific event in her past and is triggered by one individual, Glen, her step-father. When Bone was a child, Glen molested her while they were in a car waiting outside a hospital. Since no one was there to catch Glen in his horrific act, Bone is left wondering what had happened. In addition to this, Glen violently beats Bone whenever he has the chance. These horrific acts enable Glen to belittle Bone, and strip her of her power; however, Bone uses her fantasies as a coping mechanism and way to regain power.

Even though he had normal sexual interest with Anney, he turned to Bone as a coping mechanism. Glen saw in Bone in what Glen’s father saw in him.
