The thing about the novel I am enjoying is the novel has so many twists and turns. It has humor and meaning which makes it enjoyable.

I never would expect Cole to burn down his cabin and all the supplies in it. I found that scene very interesting and intense. There are also other intense scenes like when Cole got mauled by the spirit bear. Those scenes make me want to read on forever.

I also enjoy when Garvey and Edwin give Cole life lessons, but Cole never understands them. Just like when Garvey gave all the ingredients of a cake to Cole to eat separately and said '' all the ingredients of the cake taste great together but horrible alone''.

I also think it is interesting how Cole thinks he can defeat anything in the beginning of the book but near the end, after touching the spirit bear, Cole realizes that he can't. Over all I am enjoyed all the elements of the book.

The character I am choosing is known for being a victim. His face was beautiful. Some guy decided to vandalize it. The character that is going to space is Peter Driscal. Pete needs some time to himself. He can probably go to space for a while and rethink. This way he isn't forced to do anything and can have a good time.

One thing that I will pack for Peter Driscal is a survival knife. Now, you're probably thinking "Why does Peter need a survival knife? He's going to OUTER SPACE!" Well, he can use the survival knife to cut food, or pry open a circuit if it busts and he needs to fix it.

The second item that Peter will be getting is the spirit bear fur. Cole might want to give Peter something that Cole can be remembered by when Pete is in space doing 360's with low gravity.

The character I would pick is Cole to go to the outer space . The first item is the at.oow because Cole felt that it special when he had it and when he didn't feel safe he will hold it and it will make him safe on the island .The other item is going to be a rock because every morning he will push the rock down the hill so it can get his stress all out so throughout the day he does not get angry at things .that is what I will give Cole to bring on the voyage.

the main theme / author's message of the book is that

think before you do. like when Cole was steeling if he would just

stop and think what he is doing he will stop and say hey that's

bad i should stop and think why would i do this. Or when Cole beating

up peter and hitting peter head on the side walk if he will just stop and

think why would i do this it is bad and very mean oh maybe i should stop and

think .That is what i think the authors message is to think before you do .

The Character I would pick to go to space would be Cole.

The first item I would give Cole to bring to space would be his big knife because it always comes in handy in his adventures.

And the other item would be the at.oow because Peter might be worried for Cole going into space so he would give it to him on his voyage

If I had the power to grant the wish to any of the characters it would be Cole.

I think he would wish for he had no criminal record that would mean he never did crime because he regrets himself doing crime that got him into lots of trouble.

I would wish for his parents to not be divorced because I sure if his parents were not divorced Cole would not be in trouble in the life of crime.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the message is to not take short cuts in life just like Cole beating up Peter because he snitched him and because he did that got a consequence that made him stay on the island for a whole year.

# data[].attributes.body
The character that I will pick is cole. I think cole would wish for

a better relationship with people so they can be friends because cole

now does not mean to hurt him like that it was just because he was

very angry at peter .What i will hope that cole will wish for is that he can have

a better relationship with his parent because he does not like his parents

and his family but i will want cole to have a better life from before his parent

got all mad at him that is what I will hope for .

Thething I enjoy about the novel are the lessons Cole Learns on his adventure like when Garvey asked " So what made this morning different " Cole replies " I just realized that I'm not a bad person. Nobody is“ Those were the lessons that I liked. During the lessons he was learning he became, more nice less angeryer and less selfish. By chapter to chapter he became more forgiving to others, that was what Gravey was trying to teach Cole to not be selfish and to release all his anger.

Or when he though spirit bear was fake when then after a while on his adventure he sees spirit bear. Then after seeing spirit bear whenever he would see him/she again he would try to kill it. And that part when he ate that mouse when it was alive that was the most discussing part.

If Cole were to go to outer space for a few months, the first item I would pack would be the at.oow because after Cole left the island for the first time he realized the true meaning of the at.oow and then it really meant something to him. The

The author's message is that you can change someone even when they are turning bad.

At first, when Cole went to the island, he thought this was an easy way out of a jail cell. Little did he know he was wrong. Cole was about to die when he noticed the world was a great, beautiful place. Since then, he treated people differently, nicely. He had a smile on his face, didn't intent to hurt anyone and tried to stay out of jail.

To conclude, I think the main theme is that you can change even when you are turning bad.

If I had the power to grant a wish to any character, it would be Cole Mathews. Cole is in a life of crime situation. He desperately needs this wish.

I think Cole might wish himself out of this life of crime situation. Like, do you want to be jailed all your life? I think that Cole doesn't want to be.

But, I hope that Cole wishes for his parents to come back together. Some things are better off together than they are apart. Like the ingredients to a cake. They make a very good cake together than they are apart.

Either wishes are good, because they both do benefit Cole and his life. What do you think he would and should wish for?

I think the main idea of the novel is not to use violence to solve your problems.

Gandhi once said''an eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind'' which proves

when Cole hurt Peter and Peter hurt Cole back, it didn't solve anything so violence didn't

help the situation. At the beginning of the story Cole was very violent and at the end

of the book when he was calmer he realized how peaceful life was. He felt different,

he stopped using violence to solve his problems.

I am enjoying the intense scenery. Like the part where Cole fights the Spirit Bear. Fighting is intense, isn't it? There is also a creepy part where everything is quiet and out of nowhere, something runs and Cole is scared.

I'm enjoying this book because i like when the book has action and this book has action. like the book has some action parts example like there walking down the road and its quit and then some on behind you hurts you but you did not know what was happening . and i like the book because i didnt think cole was the rude and hurtful to one and other and he will steel too but i like when he gets better when he is nice to peter and that was good because it was nice to see a change for once .

If I could grant any character in the book a wish, it would have to be Cole's father. I think he would wish Cole was never born because he caused so much trouble and whenever something bad happens to him Cole's father blames it on Cole and he always is mad at Cole even when he doesn't do anything wrong. I hope Cole's father would wish to be a better father. To start over and not hurt Cole like he did with the metal part of his belt many, many times.
