Because the bones are good and trying to find each other. When the rats are trying to kill the bones. The bones are always helping other people in which they get offers back from helping them. So there for the bones are the good guys. But the rat creatures aren't.
The author of this book uses many metaphors like “The log weighs a ton.’’ Or similes
Like “The snow falls like a butterfly landing on your nose.” The author uses thoes similes and metaphors to grab the attention of the reader. When the winter time comes the reader use the simile “The snow falls like a butterfly landing on your nose.” They used those similes and metaphors because it's explaining how the log weighs a ton or that the snow falls soft.
I personally would give this book a 4 star rate because it and easy book to read in case you need to read something in a couple of days. The book is not an inspirational book. It just a funny book u can read. This book uses similes just like a comedy book would do to make others read it. But I enjoyed reading this

    Although majority of Harrison’s narration of trench warfare is described in chronological order, the description is given a sense of depth when the writing deviates from the sequence. For example, the writer describes a flashback to an event when he talks to veterans and reads newspaper reports. This gives depth because it gives insight to the characters current motivation and emotional state. Sense imagery paints a vivid portrait of a scene to develop the narrative with the use of words and in this case is used very effectively throughout the passage.…

    A Story About War Stephen Crane 's The Red Badge of Courage presents a unique view of the Civil War through the point of view of a soldier, Henry Fleming. By using this point of view, readers see the realities of war from someone experiencing them rather than the typical unfeeling articles by those who were never on the front lines.

    The colloquial idiom to “kill time” is commonly heard in passing. Whether it is a baby’s first steps, a first car, or even a marriage ceremony, a communal ideology remains that life contains nothing more than waiting for the momentous events. However, this theory of “killing time” whilst waiting for the future also kills any chances of obtaining a purposeful life. Monotony has become an epidemic in today’s society, leaving thousands feeling trapped and vainly seeking some shred of meaning in their life.
