Seekers 6

Pg 68-94

  A lot of sad events have happened in these three chapters. Toklo's sickly sibling Tobi has died, which leaves his mother in a rage, blaming him for not getting help. And in Lusa's story, she is feeling cooped up inside the zoo, and wishes to leave. Her mother says she has a solution, but it is just playing pretend and imagining they are in a forest. Despite the somewhat depressing tales, Kallik's story seems to be uplifting at the end. Despite her mother's death and loosing her older brother, she keeps on driving towards a place she does not know of: Land. She eventually gets there, and wishes her mom was there to tell her what is good or bad to eat. Unlike the others, Kallik the polar bear is the most alone, yet is the most positive.

Pages 59-65

In this part of the chapter Lusa climbs to the top of the tree inside her bear habitat. At the top, she see many different kinds of animals such as flamingos, monkeys, and tigers. Afterwards, she tells her mother about this, who suggests to tell king. King is the only one who come from the wild and remembers it. However, we all know bears don't live where flamingoes and tigers live, but king decides to lie a little and say that bears are better than all those animals, kings of the forest. Right after that, he gets angry at Lusa for constantly asking about the wild, and goes to his cave.
