You may think that Cole’s banishment has been a complete success, or a total failure. Do you see it as being a form of punishment or rehabilitation? Examine Cole’s behaviour and the events that have taken place on the island since his arrival. Use these events to write an evaluation that you you could submit to Cole’s Circle. Your report should outline the successes and the failures of Cole’s banishment, and conclude with a summary of who is to blame for Cole’s fate. Thoughts to consider...
• Is Cole’s starting to own up or take more responsibility for his actions?
• Is the Circle responsible for Cole being put in harms way?
• Is Garvey to blame for putting too much trust in Cole?
• Is anybody or anything else responsible for the outcome?
• Should Cole be sent back to the island to complete his sentence?
I believe that Cole is becoming more responsible after he went to the island and got mauled by the Spirit Bear.
ReplyDeleteThe circle is not responsible for anything, Cole made everything happen to himself.
Garvey should not be blamed for Cole's actions.
I think that Cole's parents are to blame because they treated him poorly in his younger ages.
I think that Cole should get another chance because I believe that his behaviour has
officially changed.
-Yes. Cole is starting to take more responsible after he got attacked by the spirit bear.
ReplyDelete-The circle is responsible for everything ,because the Circle sent young Cole to the dangerous island alone. They should have been protected Cole from the dangers.
-Garvey shouldn't blame for putting too much trust in Cole.
-The Circle and Cole's parents are responsible for the outcome because, Circle gave chance to Cole to live in the dangerous forest alone. Also, Cole's parents treated him badly and made Cole bad and do something terrible so they are responsible for this.
-No because, Cole has been changed better and already learned to treat someone nicely after got attacked by Spirit bear.
-Yes. I beleive that Cole on taking responsiblity for everthing that happened to him on the island.
ReplyDelete-I think the circle is not responsible, because he thought it would be better then going to court\jail so it was his choice.
-Garvey should not be taking the blame for what happened.
-I don't think that the circle had anything to do with the outcome it was Cole's dision to do it.Also, I don't totally beleive that Cole's parents had much to do with it, I mean yes they did not treat him the greatest but they did care for him.I think, but Cole's actions are his actions.
-No because, Cole has been changed into a better person then before.
I see Cole setting of to the island as a rehabilitation because prison doesn't solve anything. -Cole is starting to take responsibility for his actions now after being crushed by the spirit bear.
ReplyDelete-The circle isn't responsible for everything, they did the right thing to send him to that place but they didn't know Cole would have the rage to burn his hut and run away.
-Garvey shouldn't be blamed for having too much trust in Cole because he knows that Cole can change.
-His parents are to blame for this outcome. The circle did the right thing to send him to the island but it was the thought of his parents that propelled his anger. Cole's parents might care for him but they definitely didn't show it in the book.
-Even if Cole changed and all he might still be sent back to the island after all he's done.
Cole is taking more responsibity after bing attacked by the bear.
ReplyDeleteNo because Cole was the one who tryed to attack the spirit bear.
Garvey is not the one to blame for putting too much trust in cole.
No one else is to blame for the outcome and what happened to Cole.
Cole might have to go back to the island even if changes his way because he did do a very serious thing.
-Yes, Cole is begining to take responsibility for his actions, after being attacked by the spirit bear I believe he began to see how badly he had hurt other people in the past, now that he was in such bad pain himself.
ReplyDelete-The circle justice only sent Cole to the island, it is Coles fault that he got so horribly injured because he prevoked the spirit bear thus triggering the attack
- It isn't Garveys fault for trusting Cole. Garvey saw good in Cole and believed Cole could change. It's Coles fault for not wanting to change his ways.
- I believe how Cole was treated in the past was a contributer to his behavior, however I don't believe its entierly Coles parents fault. Cole was the one who couldent let go of his rage and anger and took it out on other people and things in his life or his surroundings. In the end Coles built up anger exploded and nearly got him killed.
- I believe Cole should not be sent back to the island if after he heals he would not be able to fend for himself.
I think cole is being more responsible after the attack
ReplyDeleteno the attack was all coles fault because cole attacked the bear first
Its not garveys fault for beliving in cole that he can change his actions
Also its all coles fault that he did a lot of bad things and its not anyone elses fault either
And finally i belive cole will have to go back to the island if he gos bad a gain
- Personally, I think Cole is becoming much more responsible and beginning to own up to alot of his wrongs, not only because of the attack but also because of what he went through after the attack.
ReplyDelete- The circle should not be responsible for any harm done to Cole. Cole's decisions caused him the harm, not the circle.
- It was not Garvey's fault for putting too much trust in Cole to send him to the island. Again, it was based on Cole's decisions.
- Cole is the only person that can be responsible for the outcome of getting mauled by the bear. Nobody else besides Cole caused the attack proving that he is the only possible person to be responsible for it.
- There is no guarantee that Cole has officially changed. It may seem he is although, he will probably be sent back to the island to finish his sentence.
- Yes, Cole is taking more responsibility after he was attacked by the spirit bear.
ReplyDelete- No, the circle is not responsible for Cole's injuries because in the first place, he wanted to do the circle of justice. Second, Cole wanted to attack the bear and so it is not the circles fault.
- No, whatever happened to Cole wasn't Garvey fault.
- Part of Cole's behaviour is his parents fault for not treating him well. But Cole is responsible for the bear attack and his injuries.
- I think Cole shouldn't be sent back because of his injuries. But if Cole doesn't change his behaviour, he should be sent back to the island.
I do think Cole is taking much more responsibility than before.
ReplyDeleteI think it was not the circle's fault, because the circle was just trying to heal him.
I believe Garvey shouldn't need to take the blame.
I think Cole's parent might be responsible too, because his past was very violent, which made him violent.
I don't think Cole should be sent back, because he has gotten many injuries the first time he was there, and I think he already learned his lesson.
- Yes. The Spirit Bear's attack has showed Cole to take responsibility.
ReplyDelete- The Circle of Justice is not responsible for anything because it was Cole's fault for attacking the Spirit Bear in the first place.
- I don't think Garvey should take the blame because he didn't put too much trust in him, he put just the right amount.
- Cole's father violently abused him and his mother ignored him. This hardened Cole and it influenced him to fight back and attack the bear.
- No, because the Spirit Bear taught Cole a lesson that he will never forget. He doesn't need to go back to the island just to die.
Yes, and this is all because the spirit bear was there to show Cole the way and to let him believe in himself.
ReplyDeleteNo,The Circle wanted to help Cole find his inner self and this is what he did.Wile doing this though he messed up and hurt himself.
No,Garvey trusted him because he knew Cole could succeed and he did so Garvey did not mess up, in fact he did his job correctly.
No, Cole is the only one responsible because no one made him do anything and this is how he chose to react to being on the island by himself.
No, Cole has been through an of and he has proven to him self that he will never be bad again.To prove to someone else is hard at some times, but proving things to your self can be even harder.I believe that Cole has changed!
Sincerely,
Katniss E.
@ Everyone - We went over examples of good responses in class today. If you feel that you need to add to your posts, feel free to post again. You may choose to complete a total revision of your work if you feel that you did not include enough supporting details in your work.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to model your work after one of the examples we discussed in class, please read CLEOPATRA'S post.
@ Everyone - I'm so proud of all of you for working so hard! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDelete-Yes,I think Cole is becoming more responsible because of the attack and when The Spirit Bear attacked Cole, I think he relized how people felt when they were attacked by himself.
ReplyDelete-I don't think it's the circle's fault that Cole got hurt because of Cole's behavior, they had no choice but to send Cole to the island. If Cole wasn't bad in the first place, he wouldn't have to go to the island and not suffer any pain.
-Garvey is not to be blamed for trusting Cole because he believed that Cole could change and it's Cole's fault that he didn't want to change.
-I think his parents should be blamed for the outcome because if they treated Cole nicely instead of hitting him or ignoring him, Cole would be a caring and a responsible person.
-I don't think Cole should go back to the island because he already had his chance and failed.
Yes, Because when he was mauled he felt the pain of others that had felt felt when Cole beat on them.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is not the circles fault that Cole got hurt because the didn't force him to attack the bear,It was his decision.
i don't think it was Garvys fault for putting to much trust in Cole and sending him to the island. like i said before it was his fault for attacking the bear.
I think the only 2 people to blame for his outcome are his parents because his dad beat him and his mom drank to make it seem ok for herself.
Rewrite - Yes Cole is starting to take more responsibility because I think after being attacked by the bear he must have had time to think of what he has done to others, how he hurt them and also feel what they felt after hurting them.
ReplyDelete- No the circle is not reponsible for Cole being put in harms way because Cole was the one that tried to attack the spirit bear, but ended up getting hurt from the bear.
- No Garvey is not to blame for putting too much trust in Cole because he just wanted to believe that Cole could truely change his life and turn it around from bad to good.
- Not anyone or thing is responsible for the outcome. The outcome was all Coles fault because he was the one who tried to attack the bear, but the bear was just trying to protect itself and not meaning to hurt him.
- I think Cole should go back to the island for a little because even though he has changed, he has not completly changed. Also he did do a serious thing by very badly hurting an innocent person physically and mentally.
