Cole griped the mouse tightly but e had no energy so he brought it to his mouth fast and he shut his lips. The mouse was biting Cole's lips and tongue in order to get out. Cole didn't give up, he bit the mouse and it still survived, it was still squirming and biting Cole's tongue. Cole felt the mouse's head go in between his back teeth, with every energy he still had left, Cole bit the mouse's head. It was dead now and Cole chewed the mouse, he wanted to spit it out but he remembered of the dead bird. Food was energy and energy was life. As Cole chewed the mouse, Cole felt some salty liquids fill his mouth. Cole finished the mouse but then he thought that the mosquitoes took more energy then he could replenish, Cole was angered that the . Then he saw two Seagulls eating his vomit, and that it had big chunks of fish! Cole knew what to do, he had to eat his vomit to replenish his energy. Chunk after chunk, Cole ate all of his vomit.
Cole was very thirsty so he made a hole in the dirt and then saw a little bit of water because it started to rain right now. At that very moment Cole saw the Spirit Bear again! Cole understands that it was his time to die, he gets all the spit he can gather and raises his head to spit at the bear, Cole misses big time and that hurt Cole very much. The Spirit Bear came to Cole's spit and licked it up, the onto Cole. Cole wanted the bear to kill him. At that moment, time went slow and it stopped raining and Cole realized that how beautiful the Earth was and that Cole didn't care if he died. Cole lifted his arm to the Spirit Bear's white coat, it was nice and warm. All Cole wanted was to touch the thing that was going to kill him. Cole was afraid but not by death, he accepted it but by helpless to himself. Cole didn't understand that why the bear didn't back away, then Cole figured it out, the Spirit Bear trusted him! The bear went to the lake in a stream motion and it started to swim and then Cole couldn't see it any more. Some more seagulls came and stared to pick off some of Cole's meat. Now Cole knew how death felt like. Cole couldn't move and the seagulls were pulling him to a rock. Cole went to a daze and he felt a sweet liquid fill his mouth, he spit it out but more filled his mouth, so Cole just swallowed it and wanted to drown to death. Then Cole heard a voice," Hang on there,Champ." Cole opened his eyes and saw Garvey over him and Edwin, the elder Tlingit. They both took Cole to the hospital in a rush and at the dock was a big group of people there to watch. Cole was on the bed in the hospital and Garvey said that he was his by a tree that was knocked down by the thunder but Cole wanted to tell him that it was the Spirit Bear but he was to weak to talk. A female Tlingit said that it wasn't a tree, and she showed then the marks that Cole had on him. Garvey was worried and Cole managed to say some words, "I'm O.K", but Garvey said that he wasn't o.k.

Cole laid there in the ground in the cold, night in the rain. Cole saw a bird's nest in the tree and with four baby birds, Cole saw the mom bring the babies some food and Cole got angry because they made feel very sad that he had no one to care for him. He was also angry because why was the birds taking care for the babies if they did nothing to the mom. Soon many mosquitoes and horse flies come and covered Cole, they even went to his eye lids. A big thunder bolt hit the tree and the tree fell down , Cole saw the baby birds on the ground and two were fully dead and he search for the other two and they were almost at the nest and their little heads popped out to reach the nest but they died. Cole felt sorrow for them, the mother and himself. After a few minutes Cole realized that that was all part of life, that the birds wanted food for energy and energy for life, then when they died the body comes gravel and a new thing will be born, like a tree, the tree falls, then insects crawl in it and then it becomes gravel where a new tree begins. Cole wanted to make something of his life and that he didn't want to die now. So Cole got some grass and put it in his mouth, h tried to swallow but the grass blades made into a ball and Cole couldn't swallow. Cole almost ran out of air, he couldn't breath and he wanted to cough but dared not to but he did, the ball came out. Carefully, Cole got some grass but he chewed more times, Cole was afraid to swallow and that it was gonna happen again but it didn't. Cole looked around and saw a worm, he got it and brought it to his dried lips and ate it. It was easier to swallow,so Cole looked around for more, it was still raining so the worms came out. Cole soon couldn't find no more worms so he continued to bugs, mosquitoes and even fuzzy worms. Cole ate and ate to survive, then Cole saw his right arm, it was covered by mosquitoes, and there was a mouse on hos elbow and making it's way to the hand, Cole didn't move anything in order to capture the mouse.

Wednesday/title:Touching Spirit Bear/ chapter 8/20min,pgs 65-73

Cole through the spear at the bear so hard to kill. As soon as he through it the Spirit Bear jumped on Cole and started slashing him with his sharp claws, they shredded Cole's flesh. Cole got up and ran to the tree, they offered no protection, and Cole started to climb and with the knife in the left hand he started to swing the knife hopping to cut the bear. Cole ignored the pain of the thistles in his hands.The Spirit Bear bits Cole in his thigh and through him to the ground and scraped Cole and Cole punched the Spirit Bear but the did no good, and as soon Cole punched him, the bear bit Cole's arm and swung him around. Cole screamed to the Spirit Bear to stop and to leave him a lone. All this happened to Cole in slow motion. The Spirit Bear left after he put his paws on Cole and with one push, the bear broke Cole's ribs and popped his lungs. Cole could no longer move from all the broken bones and the shredded flesh, after a while some seagulls came and they picked a little of Cole's hanging flesh and Cole saw that they were fighting over a pieces. Cole saw the the blood and his lips and the blood from the knife that he slashed the bear with but only one time. Cole saw that they were the same and that the bear was dumb. Cole saw his arm and was afraid because his right arm was all bitten and his hand was numb and looked like plastic, that's for toughing the Devils Branch. The only thing he could move was his head and his arm. Cole was bleeding every were and even his mouth, he had to swallow in order not to choke. Cole was thinking about the attack, that the water, the wind, the earth, that they all connect and work together. That he did not work together with them and that he did not fit in. Cole thought that he fits in the city were people cared for him and that he was fed and pampered, but in the island he couldn't care for himself or find food or find warmth for himself. Cole also thought that prison was better, that he got cared for and didn't get mauled by white monster bears. Cole felt an urge to through up and did, it hurt him in the inside so badly but he couldn't stop. After some painfully through ups Cole was unconscious, in his sleep he thought about the night mares he had before and like that he was going to get hit by a giant fist in the sky after that he thought that how was death like, that was it like getting hit by a bear or like a candle fading, was it pain full or instant. Cole wake up the next morning and tried to get up but he could not move any thing but his head and his left arm. Cole smelled some thing like a mixture of salt water and vomit, it was the ocean and his vomit he made last night.

Stroke after stroke,Cole swam at the ocean to reach the next island. Soon Cole got a cramp on both his legs and all his legs ached and he was frozen from the cold water.

Cole struggled from the pain and that he was really tired, Cole struggled just to keep his head over water. He used the waves to get him back and when he got back the rocky sea floor scraped his legs. Cole tried to get up but his body was lifeless and numb. Cole collapsed after each try to get up, he used his elbows to move, Cole rested and he kept thinking that he needed warmth. Then Cole thought about the flames of the burning hut. Cole went to sleep on the cold grass in the dark. When Cole woke up, he found himself on the ashes with bruises and crusted blood on him. Cole tried to stand but all his body parts still ached. Cole suddenly saw a big white bear. It was the Spirit Bear Edwin was talking about! Cole saw a hunting knife that survived the fire, he got it to threaten the bear but as soon as he turned around the bear was gone. Cole looked at the bottom and found the At.oow that Garvey had trusted Cole with. He got it and put it on his blood crusted, cold shoulders. Cole felt no regret for burning the hut and the tools,nor for hurting Peter. Cole thinks that it's not his fault, that its every one else's fault.

Garvey asked Cole what where his problems, Cole then shouted that a moron could figure that out but then Garvey said to tell this moron what they were. Cole told that his parents would just get drunk and that his father would his and smack Cole and that his mother would just sit there and watch Cole's father hit and smack him.

Garvey then reached out to the bag he had brought with him and took out some eggs, flower, water, salt, sugar, butter, baking soda and molasses. Garvey asked Cole to taste each thing but Cole didn't want to but then Garvey said that he was a wimp, so then Cole did taste each ingredient and after he was done Garvey asked him how they tasted and Cole said that they were all gross. Garvey took another thing from the bag, it was a cake. Garvey asked Cole to taste it and so did Cole do. Garvey asked him how that tasted, Cole said it was pretty good. Garvey told Cole that all the gradients that Cole said that were gross, Garvey made a cake out of all of them.

Cole stated to swim but before he did he took off his clothes and then he was just on his boxers. Cole started to swim and then Cole started to remember about the Circle Justice stuff.
