Gang and violence plays a big part in the first nation people's lives as many of them are discriminated against and do not have a steady income, instead, they rely on gangs to feed their family and also themselves, from their perspective, they are part of a gang to survive while we see it as something bad.

I think that people who are already in poverty doesn't mean that their next generation will be caught up in this cycle as long as they believe in the importance of education and parenting, even though the parents may be homeless, but the right morals and also responsibilities are all a person need to succeed in this world and I think that as long as their parenting is good, their offsprings will change for the better

I believe that the Bear is a symbol of his inner rage. The bear comes out when his personality or life is being challenged. In other words, the bear is a sign of his power, an inner anger that will cause destruction if not controlled properly by the protagonist. In this story, he is trying to cage the bear in his heart, letting himself fit into the world once again.

I think that people have more or less privilege because of offensive stereotypes. Depending on your gender, race, religion, etc, people will make degrading stereotypes and this affects the way you treat others, hurting members in our society.

Violence and gangs are related to aboriginal peoples lives because they have grown up in a community engulfed by it. Because aboriginal people have such a high poverty rate and are all grouped together all the problems we faced are amplified on the reservation. Violence is usually born from parental issues most likely involving alcoholism which is born out of poverty. Unfortunatly this cycle is caused by residential schools

There are many factors that can affect privilege, your culture, your skin tone, your history, the area you live in and more. Privilege is current many factors of our life, whether it be the way people see you (the preconceived stereotype they have of you) because of your ethnicity or how many opportunities you get due to your economic status; opportunities others wouldn't normally get.

I think that gangs are a way that the first nations to feel apart of something and that it’s hard for them to be integrated into society because of how we made things for them. I think that they have many emotions and from the way they were treated the way that they know how to take their anger out is through violence.

I think that the author used the Bear to represent the main character because a bear is usually shown as angry and aggressive but bears usually lash out and attack to protect themselves from humans because they're scared. The main character is angry all the time because he uses that anger to cope with his sadness and loss.

I think society can be very degrading sometimes especially when it comes to your skin tone, gender, race, and many other things. In this context, people are being judges for their skin tone and race. It is harder for a first nations to get a job because they aren't looked at as equally good to a whiter person. This makes a trail of failure in the aboriginal community.

I think it is often easier for people to be born into poverty than fall into it. I think when people have enough money they are able to pull themselves out of most situations but when you are born into poverty odds are stacked against you like we see in the book. When you are born in poverty you often have to build everything up from the bottom.

I believe that the main character probably has personal experience with aboriginals who struggle with their lives. As a result, I think the author wrote this story to give hope to those reading this book; to let them know that life will get better.

Although gang violence plays the antagonist in most communities, gangs also provides a sort of comfort for some. In this particular story, the brothers' turned to gangs as one of their support systems. The gang they were involved with was their makeshift family when their parents weren't, so despite the violence that came with it, it also brought security. Additionally, the gang was also a source of profit for Pete (the older brother), although not the most legal. - Doris
