Lit Circle

Our lit circle brought up some pretty good points. We discussed how we related to the book and our questions. Our drawings were interesting and brought up some discussion. One thing that was interesting to me was how this book reminded me of one I had read in 5th grade by Gary Paulsen, Hatchet. This book talked about a boy who was stranded in the woods because of an airplane crash, and had to find his way to survive. It shows all the ways he had to provide shelter and food, and how to live. The difference is in my book, Touching Spirit Bear, Cole is not appreciative of how the people have already provided for him whereas the kid in Hatchet would have been very thankful to be provided for. He found himself in this time and was very thankful for life, where Cole doesn't seem thankful for anything he's been given and hopefully he will find himself in this time.
