Authors note: I wrote about this because I feel like everyone can be a good person.
Doing eighty miles per hour in the middle of a city trying
to get away from a crime scene. That is where Gecko a fourteen year old boy
finds himself on one afternoon. He is the getaway driver for his brother
because they robbed a video game store. Changing from a criminal to a great
citizen like Gecko did is nothing easy but very possible.
Throughout the story Gecko changes his view on everything.
Gecko starts out as someone who doesn’t care about people or school. He
actually has an interest in school now and does all of his home work. He
respects people and even helps out an elderly neighbor. He wants to make a
difference in a good way. He finds ways
to stay out of trouble even though it seems like trouble finds him. Trouble
also finds another book character named Cole.
Gecko relates to Cole from Touching Spirit Bear in multiple ways. They both starts out as a
criminal that looks hopeless in changing their
ways. But both had life
threatening accidents that changed them in a better way. A car crash for Gecko.
For Cole it was getting mauled by a bear. Also the are related because they
just wanted to feel loved by their families. Neither of their parents had time
for them. I think change can happen over
a long time or a life threatening accident and it will cause you to change
quickly.
All in all, these characters show us that change is possible
no matter how bad it may be. People can change for either the good or the bad
but it depends on what path they want to take. Although you don’t need to be
almost killed to change.
