In my opinion it was a good idea and a bad idea too send Cole to the island or banishing him. But on this piece of work I am going to writing about, Was it a good idea to send Cloe to the island. I will have reasons why I think its a good idea and some text from the book Touching Sprit Bear to support my idea or my opinion. My first reason is the things he has done to Peter, using Peter as a punching bag at school and this is not the first time he has done it to Peter or someone else. My second reason is that I think or feel that he gets his anger from his dad. For example Cole came home late for whatever reason and his dad stared hitting him on the back with the metal part his dad’s belt. That was the first time his mom defended Cole. My last reason why is Cole’s behaviour that he is acting or pretending to change and pretending that he is sorry for what he has done to Peter and the others. Now some woods from text that support my idea.
Number one
” he drinks until he turns into a monster, mom just gets drunk and pretends nothing happens” page 28
Number two
” hurting someone really made me think a lot”. he’d pause for effect, then added,”I wish I could trade place’s with Peter. I really do, That’s what I deserve. page 20
Number three
“maybe if he forgives me, everyone will forget about what I did and can get out this pit faster. Garvey stood to leave. “forgiving isn’t forgetting, chump. I don’t remember this part of text was but I do know that it was somewhere close to the cake part. page 28 to 30
THE END
Thank you for including text from the book in making the case for your opinion. I think your argument is that banishment is a good idea for Cole, but you mentioned having reasons to think it is a bad idea. I am not certain which argument you are making.
What I am most interested to know more about is why you chose these excerpts from the text and how they influence your opinion about what should happen to Cole.
(Do be aware that some of your readers won’t have read any of the story. We need to know who is speaking in each quote. Will everyone know what the cake part is?)
