Touching Spirit Bear Complete Summary

Ok, this is what I think of Touching Spirit Bear
Rating:9 1/2/10
I loved this book so much. It had drama, forgiveness, suspense, but it was lacking a type of happiness. It was a great book but through about 26 of the 28 chapters was sadness: like Cole getting mauled or Peter trying to commit suicide. I gave it a 9 1/2 because it was sad but it was realistic. People didn't just change right away, I could feel a very slow change in all the characters' mood. It did have some happiness and funny parts, but I just don't think enough happiness. It was, I feel, not as good as the outsiders, which was WAY more realistic.

Touching Spirit Bear Reflection on Chapters 25 & 26

Ok We'll be finished with the book in two chapters so i'll soon be done with this blog, I will for sure post at least one more reflection so i'm not done yet. During these chapters Cole said his way to help Peter: "I think Peter should come here to the island." and he said that there were only two choices for everyone which was kind of like the Black and White think we were talking about in class awhile ago: "There are two choices. Give Peter the same chance i've had here on the island, or give up and watch him commit suicide. Which would you pick?", The Circle Justice made Peter go to the island, Peter began opening up to Cole, Cole explained his time at the island, and Cole had to go and sleep in the tent outside in the rain. Of course they picked the choice let him go to the island because they ran out of options, which the Driscal family abhored so much. When Peter went to the island he stayed far away from Cole and everyone esle. Later he opened up to Cole, just in the wrong way. He tried to hit him with a stone and shoved him into the creek. When he explained his time at the island he showed them where he burnt the shelter, slept in the ashes, tried to swim away, tried to kill the spirit bear, got mauled, ate a mouse, seen the baby sparrows die, where the spirit bear licked up his spit, and where Garvey and Edwin found him. Cole also has to sleep in a tent in the rain; which Cole complained " I'm going to give Edwin a leaky tent for Christmas." But later Peter let Cole sleep in the shelter, so I think Peter is starting to get nicer to Cole.

Touching Spirit Bear Reflection on Chapters 23 & 24

During these chapters SERIOUSNESS happened! He learned that to be invisible he had to clear his mind, which was why he seen the spirit bear so much during his soak, he also danced the dance of anger, which was really more the dance of fogiveness, he unfortunately spent Christmas alone, and -Here's where the serious part comes in- Peter Driscal Tries to commit suicide... TWICE!!!!! He also figured out a way to help Peter Driscal. He cleared his mind once in the pond and a beaver came near but he tried to grab it to it went away. He danced the dance of anger (In my opinion it was the dance of Forgiveness) but he didn't know what to carve in the empty space left to represent anger. He spent Chrismas alone, which many people do, and he felt self-pity for himself, he also had a small Christmas tree that he thought would be destoryed by the bigger tree. Peter Driscal Tried to commit suicide because I guess he thought his life was terrible and nobody cared if he died or not. Cole also said he knew a way to help Peter... Will Peter live? or will he die a horrible death? Find out in the next few chapters of Touching Spirit Bear.
Below is what I thought what Cole's Christmas tree might have looked like.
