Wolf Brother #2

I am reading  Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver. I am currently on page 45 at the beginning of chapter 6.

                Since last time, Torak has learned more about caring for himself. He has fought off “fever”, or infection. The infection was taking over his wound from the encounter with the bear. He slowly nursed his forearm wound back to heath. There has been no sign of the demon-bear. At the end of chapter five, Torak finally realizes the wolf cub’s purpose. He is Torak’s guide. Before Fa dies he told Torak that his guide would find him. Torak puts together the puzzle pieces and begins teaching the cub that he is alpha in this pack. As their relationship builds Torak begins to talk to the cub and asks him questions. However, the most important question that Torak has, How do I get to the mountain?, remains unanswered.

                So far, the book is very interesting. Torak has needed to overcome many obstacles and difficult times. Torak is a very inspiring character.

                “Your guide will find you. Could it be that the cub was his guide? He decided to put it to the test. Clearing his throat, he got down on his hands and knees.” (Paver 44)

Questions:

1.       Where is Torak’s mother?

2.       What is Torak going to do when he finds the bear?

3.       Will he be able to communicate with the cub?
