Chapter 24 summary

When Edwin comes again, Cole tells him that he did the dance of anger. He learned that he has to forgive people. Otherwise they will control you. Edwin then says that Cole has to help Peter or helping someone else, otherwise the pain will exist forever. This is also the reason why Garvey and Edwin help Cole so much. Then winter appears and Cole can't go to the pond and carry his ''ancestors''. But when it is Christmas, Cole has a little pine tree in his shelter. When Edwin once again visits Cole, he tells him that Peter committed suicide. Cole can't belief it and when Edwin visits Cole another time he tells Cole that Peter attempted suicide for the second time. Cole says that Peter has to come to the island and find hope.
