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.

  1. I agree that it doesn't matter what people think when your being weird or brave. I sort of disagree and sort of agree that it matters what people think when your doing something wrong or against the law. If your breaking the law but for the right reasons, then it doesn't matter. Like in National Treasure, the Gates guy steals the declaration of independence to protect it. If he were dong it to burn it or rip it up, then it would matter what people thought.
