Hearing the name of his mother, Toklo gets mad and he dosen't want to hear what Lusa has to say. Toklo is hostile to Lusa, and didn't want to hear what the message was. Ujurak comes and explains to Lusa that he and Toklo are on a journey, following the stars. Ujurak invites Lusa to join them on their journey, and Lusa agrees to come. Toklo immediately opposes the idea. He believes that Lusa will slow them down and they shouldn't travel with a black bear.

Soon, a pack …show more content…
I like how she switched to all of the characters point of view and how she had each character come from a different place for example Lusa came from the Bear Bowl which is basically just a zoo. I like how they all meet each other eventually in the story but Toklo and Ujurak already knew each other but they meet Lusa. They go with her to Great Bear Lake and make sure that she is safe with them. Even though Toklo doesn’t like the idea of Lusa coming with them because she might slow them down he lets her come anyway because she has no one else to go with. You know that Toklo doesn’t like the idea of Lusa going with them because of his attitude towards her. Even though Toklo doesn’t like the idea of her coming with them, Ujurak thinks it’s a great idea for her to come along. So they go on the journey together to go to Great Bear Lake. Do they make it without Toklo beating up on Lusa? Read the series to find

    Another aspect that has really stood out to me, were the characters Firoozeh presents. I understand that these are actual people, Firoozeh’s family in fact, but I am still so amazed by the depth and pulchritudinousness these characters are written in. The fstories about Firoozeh’s father are especially well written and really present his personality well. However, (in my opinion) Firoozeh mother was not described/written well. She seems a very bland character, who is only mentioned for silly things and chores so far, which is fine, but I really hopes the author would elaborate on this important character later in the book, but I never came to see her with the depth that other characters had.…

    The Grizzly Man Summary

    • 384 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Grizzly Man is an odd person. He seems to care for the bears that are without a doubt. Is he helping or hurting the bears though? Well, we know that people know of his presence in bear country, and we know that they set out and look for him, sometimes finding him. We also know that he brings a lot of awareness to the bears and the conditions set on them. What is he trying to save them from specifically? Based on the part of the movie that I have seen, we never see him once mention the threats imposed on them, we never see the endangerment befalling the North American grizzly bear. Is he really educating people in too activism or is he just endorsing the idea of their majesty and gracefulness. He keeps speaking of how the bears might attack any moment, and he keep talking of how strong he has to be. So maybe this puts forth some resentment towards the bears. Although he really balances the scale in the end, he hurts the bear. He shoots his film as if it were for a documentary, but then sets out on a tour helping to spur people onto the idea that we need help for the bears. The combination of trying to shoot a documentary and trying to win people over to the idea that we need to help them rarely work out. On one hand, you are showing a video in which bears are killing, in which he talks of the danger of these bears, he speaks of their furiousness, their veracity; and on the other hand, you are trying to teach people that the bears themselves are in danger. Even though both statements are true, they almost work against people's emotions and ideas of what a grizzly bear really is. What he is doing would be an equivalent of salespersons teaching a customer all the features of a vacuum cleaner and then telling them not to buy it. They are two conflicting viewpoints, and they have trouble coexisting. This tends to lead to a lot more confusion about bears, and rather than the documentary answering questions about the bears in just creates more, and after all is taken…
