We’ve been catching up on our reading of Touching Spirit Bear, and we even made it to part 2. But on the island, Edwin showed Cole a stick. He said the right end was his happiness and the left was his anger. But what do you do when you only see the left end?                                                                                                                                    What I try to do when I only feel anger is I sometimes try to distract myself, by doing something else, or I might want to be alone for a little bit. It lets me think about what I have been doing and what I should have done. Edwin also asked Cole to break off the left end of the stick. So he broke it, but there still was a left end. He kept breaking it, but there always is a left end. I think that this is supposed to tell you that you can’t get rid of your anger, but you can choose not to focus on it.
