The ability to choose gives us power to make our own decisions. Whether it is good or bad, it gives us the freedom to make our own choices. We can lose this power by making bad decisions that we may or may not regret. For example, Cole, in the book, "Touching Spirit Bear",  makes a terrible decision by beating up another kid named Peter Driscle. He slammed Peter's head into the side walk and he is in terrible condition and now Cole is sent away to an island so that he does not do anymore harm for awhile.

You can lose power by someone always making decisions for you instead of you making them.

The  ability of having a choice is power because if you don't get to pick what you want to do you feel like you lost control of what you can or can't do. You loose this power by making bad choices. Your choices matter if you make bad choice you loose the privilege

The power of choosing something is wether some one will trust us or not. If someone knows you will go behind there backs is how you lose it. You earn to make trust by choosing your own decisions and will then earn the trust back or make it even worse

The ability to choose gives us power because it will have a positive effect on people because they might  want to make a bad choice but then when they see you making a good choice they might want to make a good choice also. That power can get taken away if we make a bad choice.

How the ability to choose gives us power. When I first looked at this this reminded me of the April precept if you are going through rough times you have the choice to be sad or happy. If you abuse the power of choice it could be taken away! Noone  wants the power to choose taken away its like when you get grounded you don't get to make a choice to play games, watch tv, or other things you like to do. The biggest choice you can make is to do the right choice or the wrong choice. CHOOSE CAREFULLY!

Having the power to choose a choice or privilege is a big thing that we need to all use right or it won't be right. The way we lose the power to choose for what we want or what we do is if we make a bad choice that can affect others and mostly affect the way you think or do something. So if we lose the power to choose than we will not be able to be ourselves and not do what we want. So whenever you get the power to choose don't take it for granted. Always make the good choice and try to never make the bad choice ever. And to be alive we have to make good choices.

Choosing gives us power, but we can lose it by making a wrong choice. When we have the power to choose, we make good choices and bad choices. For example, when someone makes a bad choose on their phone they could loose the power to make choices on it. Another example, is when you get mad at another person even though they didn't do something. That would make you loose the power to choose. Therefore, that is how the power to choose works and how you can loose the power.

How we get power is we can earn it by trust and telling the truth because if you do tell the truth you will get people to believe you on what you say. How you can lose power is if u lie to people and be rude to people you could lose that power because if you lie to people they won’t believe you on what you say to them and if you be rude to people the people that you are rude to you could lose power because that person that you are rude to will not like you as a person.So that’s how you could lose power and how you can get power.

To be alive was to have a choice. The power to choose was real power, not fake power of making others afraid. To be able to choose power is that you have to earn to have power. Power is not giving to you I have to earn your power of your actions and if you use you power for good. Now fake power is power that is not real. You think you have the power. Like in chapter one he beated up Peter Driscol. He did this because he wanted people to be afraid of him. In chapter 7 it states that cole wanted the spirit bear to be afraid of Cole and that's when he challenged the bear and now he is on a dock with gull all over his wounds.

The power of choice is not fake power it's real power, when you choose something it is your decision nobody else's. When you make the choice it's your power to say yes or no. Also when your doing something it's your decision to make the right choice or the wrong choice, nobody else can make decisions for you. In other words you have the power to make good choices or bad choices. When you make the wrong choices a lot you will have to deal with the consequences, of power and choice taken away form you.

We lose power by being untrusting and lying. For example when Cole said the Spirt Bear attack Gravey didn't believe Cole because he had lied and be untrusting in past.Gravey also knows that Cole wanted to be in control.By Cole not being in control of his anger he was sent to remote island which taught Cole what he does  is in control of his actions .

The ability to choose has power to it because you have your own choices you can choose to do a good thing or a bad thing. It is always up to you to depend on what you are going to choose. Like in Sprit bear Cole choose that he wanted to live, he didn't want to die. But he could have chosen to die and his life would be over. That is why the ability to choose has power to it.

By us choosing something gives us power by telling the truth to someone it gives you their trust meaning by they believe you on what ever you say to them.We loose power by lying to them telling them something that is not true at all which means that you will loose their trust and they won't believe you probably never again.

The ability to choose has the power that we call life. If you didn't have the power to choose you wouldn't have the life you have today. Even if you do or don't like your life...you would hate it even more. To choose gives us power to do things we like or love, hate or dislike. The point to live is for us to choose how we want to live. Without choice you would be doing the same thing over and over like everyone else. Choice is important because you can do the things you love and do everyday of your life. Step by step. Day by day. You make choices everyday even if you think you don't.You make choices like, what am I going to eat today? What am I going to do when I get home? What will I do in the next 24 hours? See... you make choices every single day. Sometimes you don't even know you do until afterwards. That's the power of choice that gives us freedom and life. You could mess up your life or you could make it better. That's what choice is. Choice is not given to you on purpose, it's given to you because you have either earned it or your trusted with it. Like in chapter 7, Cole wants the Spirt Bear to be afraid of him but instead the Spirt Bear isn't. Instead Cole ends up with many seagulls surrounding his wounds. That was Coles choice. He could have let the Spirit Bear go it's own way and Cole wouldn't have got hurt, but Cole went with the other side of him. Imagine if Cole and never beaten up Peter!!! He wouldn't be on this island hurt with the Spirit Bear, none of thatwould  of ever happened if he made the other choice. To loose your power of choice you would have to do something that no one would ever trust you again. Of course Peter is never going to trust Cole again because of what he did but that doesn't mean Cole lost his power or choice. Cole made another choice when he chose it go to Circle Justice. He made the choice to go to the island. He made the choice to burn the shelter, try and escape, try to kill the Spirit Bear. Those are all choices! Even when he ate all the nasty things to live! At first Cole stated, why didn't the Spirit Bear finish him off. He didnt care if he died, no one did, but when Cole saw the baby Sparrows on the ground waiting for food he chose to live not die. That was one of his biggest choices! Instead of wanting to die he still had the choice to live. He used that chance to live on his life.

Having the ability to choose gives you power because without the ability to choose others would have to choose for you and you would not get the chance to pick the choice that you think is right. Choices also make life like you would have to make a choice of what job you want to choose and what food you want to eat. There are always daily  choices like what outfit you want to were for the day or what hairstyle looks best on you. Having the ability to choose gives you power to choose for your self and choose the right choices. The power goes away by not choosing what's best. Not choosing what's best is like choosing the wrong answer on a test you might think it is right but really it's not so you have to choose what you want for yourself. An example is in "Touching Spirit Bear" were Cole had to pick the choices that he made and he had the power to choose the choice. One of the choices he decided to make was beating up Peter D. He lost the power by regretting the choice that he made but he had the right to chose and that was how got the power and lost his power.

The power to choose gives us power because we have the ability to think of what we do and the consequences that will happen when we do it. We lose that power when we do the wrong thing and never think of the consequences because then we'll just get ourselves hurt or even killed

So if we all lose are choice then a bad choice could affect you in the future because your choice isn't for you to choose now it's randomly chosen. Some people would have bad choices and alot  of people could be having a good choice it all depends

Having the power to choose is a privledge. If you make a bad choice  you should not get to choose . See cole had a chance to choose but he thought he could escape from the island. Instead he got mauled.

The ability to choose gives you power because you are able to choose which kind of person you are and the ability to decide if you want to do something that affects you in either way. To live was to have choice. The power to choose was real power, not fake power of making  others afraid. The power to choose was the real power because to choose you can make your own decisions. You can choose to go the wrong way or the right way because only you can make the choice.making others afraid was not real power because if you make people afraid of you. You still are not controlling them their just going to be afraid and not your real friend. But if you make the choice of being their real friend. If you make the choice to not be their real friend and you are just being their friend to gain more power. To be alive was to have a choice because to live you have to decide if you want to live or die and that is a choice only you can decide. Nobody can decide for you if you want to live or die.

The ability to choose gives us power because  if you make good choices people will respect you a little bit and you would be a good role model for little kids. A way to lose your power is to break a rule or the law, steal.

"To be alive was to have choice. The power to choose was real power,not fake power of making others afraid." The ability to chose gives us power by making good choices and bad choices.  Everyday you make choices some easy and some hard. When you chose you will have real power not fake power to scare people away. We can lose this power by making bad decisions and lying or to scare people.
