Matt Visits Attean's Camp

In Chapter 16, Matt is invited to Attean's camp for the feast of the bear.  What did you think of it?  If you were Matt,  how would you have felt going there?

Where is Matt's Family?

A couple chapters ago, Matt mentioned that he had marked 7 sticks with 7 notches.  Hmmmm...shouldn't his family be here by now?  What do you think happened?  What are your predictions about his family?

The BEAR!

Think about Chapter 15 where Attean and Matt encountered the bear and killed it.  How do you think this will affect their relationship?  Or how will it change Attean or Matt?
