Touching Spirit Bear's Touching Spirit Bear
Touching Spirit Bear is a fantastic and breath-taking book.
This book is about a boy named Cole who has been beaten by his dad. He goes to an island and stays there so he can fix his anger.

I think this book is a fantastic book because Cole got lost for a while, then he finally got back on track where he was before he got lost, and Cole found his happiness again.

I think this book is breath-taking because Cole beat up his friend Peter and then he blamed the world on every thing that had happened, so his parents thought that this island would help him from beating up his friend and blaming the world on everything.

In conclusion, I think everyone should read this book to find out more about this book. Like everyone one says life's

    Touching Spirit Bear Character Analysis

    He was even known and portrayed as a very angry person. As Cole gets to understand the idea of forgiveness and the beauty of life he changed to become a better and a peaceful person. There are no bad people in the world just people who make bad choices. Cole made several mistakes in his life but has learnt from them and is going through taking dips in the freezing pond, rolling the ancestor rock to get rid of his anger so he would not make the mistakes of anger taking over him again. The Cole first sent to the island was feeling consumed by anger, bitterness, and the feeling to unwillingness to change. While the Cole at the end on the novel is a normal boy that is trying control his anger problems and trying to earn forgiveness from others. After Cole had changed he seemed to think that the island could change anyone. Cole thinks to himself that he has really changed. “He felt like a new and a different person.” (Pg.198) That’s why he wanted to bring Peter, the boy who had tried to commit suicide twice after Cole had beaten him up to the island to see if he can change on the island and have another chance at life, like Cole had received. At the end, both Peter and Cole changed spiritually and mentally. The lesson “People can change” is an important lesson from the book because even Cole the juvenile delinquent had changed into a normal teenage boy controlling his…

    Summary Of Sharon M. Draper's Tears Of A Tiger

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    Analysis Of Touching Spirit Bear

    I think the Japanese proverb, “Fall seven times, stand up eight” explains that no matter how many times you fall, you will get up. In Touching Spirit Bear, the main character, Cole, struggles with how to live his life. He believes no one loves him, or appreciates him. Especially his parents, who could care less whether Cole was alive or dead. So, given the circumstances, Cole is a bad kid. He is 15, and has been in trouble with the law half his life. So, the proverb is saying, no matter how many tough times, relating to Cole, are in your life, push through, and stand up. Everyone gets to have a happy ending, you just have to know how to rise up to the challenge.…

    First-Part Last Symbols

    I like how its really intense and calming and also some parts funny. I like how it talks about teen pregnancy because some young teens will want to get pregnant at such a young age and if they read this book it may help them change their mind and wait till they get older, thats very important to me. I really like the chapter where Bobby was talking about the wall when he was trying to get everything back in place and try to see who he really was, i thought that part was really good. I like how it goes back and fourth for the chapters like then and now, it makes you want to read more because in one chapter it tells you really good information and you just want to read even more till the…

    Spirit Bear

    Cole Matthews is an abused child who turned into a troubled kid because his parents abused him every day. He became an angry person who was willing to take anybody out in his way. When he got into trouble he would manipulate everyone into thinking he was sorry but he never really meant it. Cole hated everyone because anytime he didn’t get his way he would resort to the same violence and anger his father used on him. Cole thinks everything is a game, he thinks he should never be responsible for his own actions. Cole managed to get away with everything with no issues until he assaulted Peter. Cole thought he did no wrong because Peter told on him and anyone. Cole thought he could talk his way out of the assault charges like the other events when he got into trouble. The only reason Cole joined circle justice is because Garvey told him he could avoid going to jail. If Garvey hadn’t gotten Cole to join Circle Justice he wouldn’t have changed his bad ways. Being alone on the island, getting attacked by the spirit bear, and learning ways to relieve his anger through soaking in the pond and pushing the rock taught him to view the world in a new perspective. Cole realized that staying angry was the worst thing he could have done. He finally accepted his actions and saw the error in his ways. I saw the change in Cole’s character when he wanted to help Peter channel his anger. Cole never cared about anyone besides himself throughout his entire life. He was actually trying to help and wanted to be forgiven by Peter. Cole deceived everyone in his life and never cared about it. It was now in his best interest to become a better person, and rid himself of the evil he did in his life.…

    Touching Spirit Bear Character Analysis

    Cole starts to trust himself, trust his decisions and believe in himself. Since Cole has been sentenced to one year banishment on this island his self confidence went drastically down. He shut himself down and ignored everyone who cared about him and wanted to help him out of his stressful situation. Cole has started to gain trust in himself because of the island, Edwin and Garvey, and the Spirit Bear. Cole begins to trust his mother after she went to court and charged Coles father with abuse. Cole’s mother stopped drinking and started to regain her relationship with her son and starting showing Cole how much she actually loved him. All of Cole’s life he felt as if his parents did not love him and did not care about him. Cole’s father’s anger problems caused him to be violent and beat Cole, hard. Cole’s mother just tried to ignore what was going on by drinking. She was just as scared as Cole was if not more. Cole’s mother was mostly drunk out of her mind, she drank away her fear and depression until she realized how hurt Cole actually was. After Cole got mauled by the Spirit Bear his mother went to court and charged Cole’s father with abuse and as a result Cole let his mother back in and started to trust her again. Cole finally started to trust Edwin and Garvey because they were the only people really putting in an effort to help Cole. At the beginning they were the only ones that cared about Cole.

    Cole Quotes

    “My theory on life is that life is beautiful. Life doesn't change. You have a day, and at night, and a mouth, and a year. We people change - we can be miserable or we can be happy. It’s what you make of your life.” (Brainy Quotes) Cole is a 15 year old boy from Minneapolis. He has dealt with the police for half of his life because his parents don’t care about him.The reason why Cole beats up other kids is, he doesn’t care about his life at all. Why Cole needs to change is, he’s constility beating up kids for no reason. When he is older if he doesn’t stop, he will be in jail for a long time.

    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

    I am enjoying this book, although it is written very differently than any other book I have read and is somewhat confusing . Christopher writes about every little detail in the book. When he is in the subway going to his mother's house, he described the subway car in detail. He describes everything from the car's seat pattern to the railing where you stand. I like the details when it’s important. I don't need to know things about the car seat pattern, because it make me feel overwhelmed with detail, which is different than the book I usually read. I also find this book is somewhat confusing because he is writing and narrating a book at the same time. At some points, I have to go back and see if what he is saying is in the book he is writing or the story he is narrating.…
