So I finished reading the Bear and must say that it did not end the way I thought it would. The story had many details that can catch you up. I thought it was interesting though because I looked at the word healing like Dr. Abernathy said and it is not the same type of healing we would think of. The tree had decayed into the ground and the tin can had been covered with what was natural. The end of this story was a bit boring compared to the start. Not to mention everyone is dying and going slightly mental. I actually liked chapter 4 despite its tediousness. Overall it was an alright story. I just hope I am ready for this quiz! See you guys on Tuesday.

Yes the story is full of death and sadness, and nature is commonly referenced as the healer. It is as if, if only we could get back to nature then we would be healed and life would again be full of vitality... maybe. I liked the story of the Bear.. I liked the style, and it kept me not wanting to put it down. Good luck on the quiz!!
