Buddy's dad always used to listen to all love songs in the day light .When buddy use to be at school . It made him think of his wife most of the times when he was alone , It made think of all the things the used to do all to together . It made him feel of love ,strength and a bit of happiness.

When buddy's dad wants to go for a ride with buddy on his Harley Davidson.Buddy's dad was happy because he was getting his motorbike back.

Buddy was freezing and wet and was glad he didn't sleep out in the country side.And he sleepted in the bus hut. when Buddy woke up there was frost every were but the sun was coming out to dry it up. Buddy walked threw the narrow roads and hoped he wouldn't slip on the ice because of the frost last night. Buddy was going to try and cathch his mam before she went into work.

Shadow.....something mysterious and scary that buddy sees on the other side of the road
Dark........bad situation and place to be in like buddy is alone
Lonelyness......nobody to talk to and alone and with nobody around you example would be friends and family

wet,cold and dark.
Buddy feels sad and lonely because he's alone in the dark country and its raining heavily and very cold and he doesn't know whats going to happen next. He has very little warmth were he is and he hasn't much food with him to keep him going.

Darkness:
Buddy was getting worried when he was walking down the road the road was muddy and pitted with deep holes and ruts but he got threw them all. As he continued on the rain started to beat down on him. Before it got worse he found a spot just in time. The spot was beginning to loom out of darkness.

in chapter 21 buddy wanted to go asleep on the road but he said it is to cold and scary. this symbolises that buddy
is missing his dad and his house it means he missed sleeping in his bed with the lights on and not dark.

fire - his lungs being on fire shows that he was paniced.
dim light - the shock when he saw someone's face.
