what are others' actions towards cole

Garvey teaches Cole about positive thinking using a hot dog,

“Yes, [the hot dog celebration] was a big deal. It was a party. It was a feast. It was a sharing and a celebration. All because that is what I made it. Yours was simply food because that is all you chose for it to be. All of life is a hot dog. Make of it what you will. I suggest you make your time here on the island a celebration.” (166)

The Spirit Bear mauls Cole,

"But here he lay...his life leaking from his body." (93)
