The anger dance shows what cole had learned on the time he has spent on the island because he learns that he cant forgive anyone unless he forgives himself it also teaches him that he cant blame the rest of the world for his problems
The anger dance shows cole that he can forgive people now
Kevin, i agree with your blog that cole forgives now
The anger dance shows how you shouldn't keep thigs bottled up nd to forgive people. And well when Cole was beating the tree... its a way for him to get his anger out
Troy and Kevin, what part of the anger dance show that Cole has really learned to forgive?
Me Me me i knoe this one... when he says sorry to the tree
I agree with Troy because he can forgive people now
Robbie..
What do you mean ??... everyone can forgive whenever they want to.. like you can do it anytime you want to....
I still dont get it
The anger dance shows what Cole had learned on his time on the island because he learns that he can't blame the world for his problems and anger. It also shows that he forgives himself now when he shouts "I forgive you".
I think that it teaches him how to forgive people by making him feel sorry for the things he did. I think he was feeling sorry for peter when he started to cry.
Eileen: I think Robby means that he never forgave anyone because he was always mad at them but now he isn't mad so he can forgive people
The anger dance shows what Cole has learned on the island, because he learns to feel sorry for his actions. Before Cole had never really felt sorry about what he had done to other people. This is shown when he says that he's sorry, and he had never meant to hurt Peter.
I agree with Jordan that Cole has learned that he can't blame others for what he has done.
The anger dance shows that Cole has learned not to blame others. Also to forgive other people. You can tell he feels sorry for what he has done to Peter because he starts to cry.
Andrea:
I agree with you. You can tell he has deffinitly changed because he is starting to feel sorry for what he has done. Where before, he could care less if he hurt somebody! All he used to care about was if he went to jail or not.
I think the anger dance shows what Cole has learned on the island because he can't blaim anyone for his anger and problems.Being alone for about a year and a half can help that sink in.Cole uses the tree as if it were a person.When he throws the rock into the water, he starts apoligizing and saying he didn't mean to hurt Peter.What he learned finally sank in.
Athena,
I agree with you.In the beginning of the story, Cole is a tough bully.You would never think he would ever cry.It's really kind of sad.What he's going through emotionally scarred him.
Kevin,
I agree Cole finally learned that he can't forgive others until he forgives himself.What do you think he has to forgive?
Eileen,
I disagree with you.Cole has gone through so much.He can't just flip on the forgivness switch.If he could forgive whenever he wanted to, he wouldn't be on the island for a second time.
The anger dance shows that Cole has leaned to forgive, Like when he was screaming i forgive you multiple times in the middle of his anger dance. also it taught him how to conrol his anger, and the way he uses it. !
George...
Thanks for explaining it to me !!!
Cassie...
Can you please explain ???
Caroline,
You are right. The anger dance taught Cole how to control and control the way he uses it.What do you think would have happened if Cole didn't learn how to control his anger?
Kevin your response makes alot of sense because, its true he cant just figure out his problems by blaming the world on it. !
Eileen,
Please tell me what you would like me to explain!
Cassie..
Never mind i get it now.. i just had to read it a couple of time to get it straight in my head... i kinda agree with you... but before he was on the island for the second time.. when he said sorry... he didnt really mean it.. it was just an act.. but this time he really wants to change
The anger dance has showed Cole many things. Like he learned that he cant blame people and the world for his problems and the things he does. Also that he has to actually learn to take the blame for what he does. The anger dance also teaches him how to forgive. Cole cant forgive anyone or anything until he learns to forgive himself.
Cassie I agree with your response because being on an island alone can probably teach you alot. And then he cant blame anyone for his problems and, anger.
Caroline I agree when you said that he learns how to control his anger. Because later in the book when Peter is beating him up he wants to fight back but he doesnt and when Peter throws the rock at him his hands were in a fist but he noticed it and stopped. So, after the anger dance he learned how to forgive and control his anger.
George and Athena, thank you for using the example of Cole crying to show that he's changed. That's a great section of text to use to really show how Cole has been affected by his time on the island. Thanks to everyone else who has included specific support from the text in the discuusion(Cassie, Eileen, Nicole).
Cole learned a lot of the things from the animals he saw. For and example........he found out that a wolf travels in packs because 1 single wolf alone is weak and together in a pack, the wolves are strong
Anni
i agree with athen.......the anger dances DID give Cole the lesson that he can't blame others for what he did, like beating up peter
Anni, how does the lesson from the wolf dance change Cole's outlook? What does that teach him about himself?
it teaches him that he needs the help of others
Anni
Again, Anni, can you give a little more detail and explanation please?
I think that the anger dance shows that Cole has learned how to release his anger in a better way than beating people up and it teaches him that the only person responsible for himself is him.

The anger dance shows what cole learned from it while on the island because, he learnes how to forgive and to say the word sorry.
The anger dance shows that Cole has learned during his time on the island because you can tell he is a much different person than he was when we got to the island the first time. During the dance, Cole learns to forgive people for things they have done to him.
The anger dance shows cole forgive himself and is sorry for beating up peter he screams i'm sorry
Kevin i agree with you 100% he stops blaiming the rest of the world
Troy I also agree with you he can forgive
Nicole that is correct he did not fight back he just let him beat him up and that shows he changed
Melissa-
What do you mean "he learns to say the word sorry"?
Cassie, I agree with you and Athena how you would never think that Cole would cry. But he did, and I think that is powerful in its own way. It shows that he has changed.
Nikki, you're right when you say that Cole didn't fight back to Peter when he was shoving him around. He had will power then. Peter was expecting him to fight back, and was testing him. What he found out was that he had changed as a person.
Eileen what I meant iswhat George said
The anger dance showed that Cole was understanding the bad choices he made and how he was ready to turn away from them by saying "I forgive you"
Julia,
I'm not sure but I think Melissa means that he learns the deeper meaning to the word 'sorry', he always knew the word but i think now hes realizing that by saying 'sorry' means that "I am going to change because i want to be a better person and I want you to know that"
ms ullivan, Cole never asked for help before, and when he did the wolf dance..............he realized that after he did the wolf dance he needs help
Anni
I think cole learned that he needs to learn how to forgive himself to try to hold the anger in
i agree with you troy and kevin that he needs to forgive
Eileen i think the same thing that he shouldnt just hold it in
during his long anger dance he lears how to forgive like when he throws the rock into the water he forgives it and forgives peter and just like when he punches the tree he forgives it
Uche-
That's what I thought too, I just wasn't positive. :) Thanks
I think what's really important is that this is porobably one of the first, if not the first time that Cole has ever said, "I forgive you," and that this is a big step in his anger management.
I agree with Jacob that Cole is moving foward in his process of healing.
The anger dance helpes him show off his anger without hurting anyone.
Cassie...i think he has to forgive people who have done wrong because its not all his fault that he acts that way
The anger dance show what cole has learned during his stay on the island because he realized he cant get over his anger if he cant forgive .
I agree with kevin he does need to forgive the people who treated him badly because his anger isnt his fault but his actions are .
Mrs . Sullivan i think the part where he dropps to his knees and says i forgive you and starts crying is the part of the dance where he learns to forgive .
I agree with athena and cassie becaise at the beginging cole tried to act tough and never showed his emetions execpt anger but when he was on the island he showed alot of emetions .
Kristie thats true but he kinda hurt himself by punching the tree .
i agree with katie. when he was on the island at first he didnt show emotions at all but after he showed what he felt
Why do u think that vanessa?
Why do u think that vanessa?
to kristie
i think that because in the bigining of the story he thought the world revolved around him he blamed other people for his problems and he didn't care about anything. but at the end he starts to care
Yea but not peter!
I wonder why the author, Ben M. makes Cole hit the air first, but then later actually hit the tree and hurt himself.. Did anyone have any ideas about that?
To Robbie:
i see what you were trying to say..i get it now... thanks :]
To Dr. Digisi:
I dont really know why the author made Cole hit the air 1st and then the tree... i never thiught of that ... thats a good question !!!
I think i know why the author had Cole hit the air first. It was because maybe Cole doesn't know what he should hit at first
