His sole purpose of existing was to be his mother’s slave: he was forced to constantly clean up after the family, scrub the bathroom, and was afterwards banished to the basement for the remainder of the day. His father continued in his attempts to fight for David, asking his mother to let up. However, these attempts only seemed to fuel his mother’s rage towards him; often resulting in increased intensity and severity of the beatings being inflicted upon

The problem with Bone is that he is scared of his stepdad. Bone’s stepdad threatens him by saying some nasty words to him like, as he says “all the time he said he’d cut off my d*** if I told” (pg. 196).
