Chapter 25-26 Reflection

In Chapters 25-26, Cole suggests that Peter comes to the island and soak in the pool and carry the ancestor stone. Edwin says that fishing season was starting up again and that he wouldn't be able to stay with them. Garvey would have other things to do. A few days later, Garvey, Edwin, Mr. Driscal, Mrs. Driscal, and Peter come to the island. Cole shows them where he was mauled and where the old cabin was. He explains to them how he has changed and his dances. Cole also shows them his totem pole. Peter screams at Cole about how he doesn't want anything to do with Cole. At night, the Driscals go sleep in the boat while Cole sleeps in the cabin. The next day Mr. Driscal, Mrs. Driscal, and Edwin leave. Garvey, Cole and Peter stay. Cole goes to the pool to soak and carry the ancestor stone. Garvey and Peter come with but don't soak themselves.The next day, Peter pushes Cole into the pool and throws a rock at him. After a few days of sleeping in a leaky tent, Cole is tired of it. Peter then invites Cole into the cabin.

It seems like Cole and Peter have switched places. Peter is being a bully and Cole is the victim. I think that Peter has every right to be mad at Cole for smashing his head into the cement. I am also glad that he finally is forgiving Cole.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The s key works again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm gonna go s crazy! SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Reflection on Chapters 15-16

In Chapter 15, Cole is told that he is going back to the island. Edwin does a demonstration with Cole to the Circle. They stand on either side of a line that represents life. Cole is on the bad side. Edwin leans against him to make Cole move. Cole pushes against Edwin. Cole moves a few feet away. Then they start at the line again. This time Edwin shoves Cole. This shows that change can happen gradually, or all at the same time. Being mauled by the bear made Cole change both ways.

In Chapter 16, Cole, Edwin, and Garvey are at the island. Cole has to buy his supplies and build the shelter. He roasts a hot dog. Garvey says that the hot dog is the world. Then he roasts a hot dog. Garvey does it slowly and shares it. When Cole tastes it he says its just a regular hotdog.

In chapter 13, Cole finds himself in the home of Rosey, a nurse. They were going to fly Cole out to a hospital, but the weather was too bad. When Cole sleeps soundly, he dreams that all the people he knows are giving him gifts. Then they turn into monsters. Garvey asks him what mauled Cole. He says its a spirit bear. Garvey said it was impossible. Cole wants to show him the fur, but he says that now people will take his word for it.

In chapter 14, it is 6 months later. Cole will never use his right arm, and he will always walk with a limp. His dad is arrested for child abuse. His mom stops drinking. Cole goes back to the detention center. He meets with Circle Justice again. THey will send him back to the island if he explains why he broke the obligations.
