Garvey and Edwin
Garvey gave Cole a totem, a Spirit Bear named Garvey, to take care of as a way to help Cole on his healing journey in the novel "Touching Spirit Bear" by Ben Mikaelsen. This totem serves as a physical reminder of Cole's goals and the support he has in the form of his mentor, Garvey.
In the book "Touching Spirit Bear," Garvey is a kind and understanding character. He serves as a mentor for the protagonist, Cole, helping him to understand his past actions and encouraging him to take responsibility for his life. Garvey also teaches Cole important lessons about forgiveness and inner peace.
I think Edwin and Garvey, his mom?
Garvey was angry when Cole revealed that he had burned down the shelter they had built together. He was also frustrated with Cole's behavior and lack of remorse for his actions.
Garvey kept pressing Cole to be more specific in "Touching Spirit Bear" because he wanted Cole to confront and take responsibility for his actions. By being specific, Cole would have to face the truth of what he had done and the impact it had on others, leading to a deeper understanding and accountability for his actions.
