Chapters 15-16 Reflection

Chapters 15-16 started like this.  Cole was at Circle Justice.  Everyone got a chance to talk.  Cole noticed that everybody was in favor that he go to jail.  Garvey, unlike everybody else, spoke in Cole's defense.  He didn't want Cole to go to jail.  Edwin wanted to help too.  Edwin demonstrated how he could help Cole.  There were two ways.  One was to gradually help him.  The other one was a single traumatic experience.  Cole already experienced a traumatic event, so Edwin was going to help him with slow persistent pressure.  Back in the dentition center Cole was visited frequently by his mom, Edwin, and Garvey.  Once when Edwin and Garvey were visiting Cole they told him that they convinced the Circle Justice members to let him go back to the island.  So a month later Cole, Garvey and Edwin went to the Alaskan island.  Edwin and Garvey would stay for a couple of days.  Cole would have to do everything.  He had to build a shelter and cook for everyone.  This was part of the rehabilitation.  When they all ate, Garvey explained to Cole how the whole world was a hot dog.  Garvey ate his hot dog and shared it with Edwin and Cole.  Garvey treated this like a party.  Garvey told Cole, "I suggest you make your time here on the island a celebration."  When Cole ate the hot dog he made, it did what he told it to do, feed him.  Whaen Garvey ate and shared the hot dog he made, it did what he asked it to.  It was to make this time feel like a celebration.
