Welcome back –
Now that you have read the first section lets do a summary. Cole Mathews beats up a kid named Peter because he told on him for robbing a store. Cole then meets a guy named Garvey. He tells him about the Circle Justice program (which will send him to Alaska) so he can “heal”. Cole chose’s to go there instead of going to jail. When accepting the Circle Justice program he is sentenced to the island for a year. He goes to the island, finding shelter and supplies already there for him and burns both of them. Cole plans to swim from island to island and get a boat to a nearby town and live there instead of staying on the island for a year. Before swimming out Cole sees a Spirit Bear for a quick second and then disappears. Then he tries to swim away from the island but the ocean current is too strong and he gets pushed back to shore.
Tasks:
- Respond: 1. what should Cole done instead of beating up Peter? 2. Should Cole have gone to the island or jail? Why?
- Read: Pages 48- 102
