Chapter 1-2 Reflection (continued)

In Chapter 2, Cole is interviewed by the members of Circle Justice. After his application is accepted, he meets with the Circle Justice members. As part of his banishment, Cole has to wear his clothes inside out. He is isolated on an island, with all the necessary supplies, including schoolwork he should do. At the end of the chapter, Cole lights a match and burns his shelter AND supplies!

In the first two chapters, Cole breaks a few of the native American Ten Commandments. When Cole beats up Peter, he is not following the third, which says "Show great respect for your fellow beings." He also breaks the ninth commandment, "Be truthful and honest at all times." He is not being honest when he tells the Circle Justice that he feels remorse for his sins. Cole is also breaking Commandment Six. He is not doing what he knows to be right when he does criminal deeds. Cole DOES follow Commandment Ten, "Take full responsibility for your actions". He brags about vandalizing the store at school.
