Touching Spirit Bear - Journal response

Today we read up to the end of Chapter 24.

Choose one of the following questions to complete in your journal for tomorrow. Remember that your journal response needs to have a title, your thoughts and ideas, support from the novel (quotes and example), a background/border or visuals to support your response.

1. What does Cole note about being angry at the opening of the chapter?
2. Cole learns that if he cannot help the person he wronged, he should then help somebody else. What does he correctly speculate about Edwin and Garvey?
3. Cole spots the Spirit Bear every few days now. What does this indicate about the change in Cole?
4. When Cole starts thinking about his return to Minneapolis, what is he concerned about? Why is this unusual?
5. Peter twice attempts to commit suicide, and Cole believes the answer to Peter’s problems is to have him spend time on the island. Why does Cole think this is a good idea, and do you think that it will work?

6. Cole attempts to carve the bottom of the totem pole several times in this chapter, but cannot find an appropriate symbol for him getting over his anger. What do you think Cole should carve?
