Touching Spirit Bear Reflection on Chapters 17 & 18

Sorry about being sick yesterday, I didn't see this on the blog but I just seen this on edline so i'll do it now.
During these chapters Cole was Taught how to suspend food from the tree branches. Many people do this so that bears don't eat all their food. This also just reminded me of the movie Without A Paddle where a bear thinks this guy is her cub, he has to eat racoon and him and his friends get stuck in a tree for like half a day. Ok, back on topic. He also went down to the pond, which he thought was "freezing!" but during the day he skipped he got angry. Garvey also shown him that just like the left end of the stick, anger never goes away. Although you can focus on one end (anger), you can also focus on the other end (happiness). Also like the story side or the sunny side you could either say it's sunny or stormy, just like a person, happy : angry, nice : mean, thankful : selfish. They also seen whales and decided to dance the whale dance, which Cole said to before "What do you mean, dance?" He also had to build a cabin himself so if he beurnt it the only person it would be hurting is himself. He also said he didn't want the gloves because he wasn't a wimp which right before that he siad "Aren't you helping at all?" which meant he was lazy. He also learned about the ancestor rock and how it becomes anger. After he rolled it down he said "That should make the ancestors dizzy." That's what happened in chapters 17 and 18. Here's a picture of a Humpback whale.
