Summary:
I call chapter 10 of the book the scene where Bone really became an adult. He went home to find his mother and stepfather but he only found second one extremely drunk. He went to the place for alcohol anonyms to find his mother. Mother was happy to see him and asked to come back home so they can return everything and begin a new life as a happy family, however Bone does not want it and tells his man to divorse his stepfather. It was his cruel mistake because you should not give woman such a choice. As a result he got his mother who choose stepfather instead of her son and as I said this is the moment when bone really did grow up. My idealogy is that person never become fully an adult until his is lovely son for somone. However when parents die or kick you out of the house this is the real coming of age and now you are an adult. However person can not be lonely or dont want to and that is why Bone goes to his grandmother to ask about his real father however gradmother says he was a bad guy and he should just go and live with his mom and stepfather. Bone decides that even dad that he didn't see for years will be better and he goes to find him. I think that Bone just tries to find himself in the world or better say find someone who will need him, someone who will love him and not use him as a chappie but respect as the BONE. I-man decides to go home to Jamaica and after some internal debates Bone decides to go too... Poor little boy... I already feel the danger

"Maybe ten minutes later I'm standing out there on the Bridge Street with my thumb up in the air and this flashy new silver-colored Saab Turbo 9000 stops and it's Whitey and Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie is driving and Whitey goes, hop in kid" (Banks 187).

For some reason when I was going to USA for the first time I thought that life will be like there in the quote. I felt like movie stars will drive around asking how are you doing and NBA players just play outside asking you to join... American dream... American idol... American nothing in fact!
