Touching Spirit Bear

The main character in this book is fifteen years old and he is VIOLENT! His name is Cole. He gets into fights, steals from stores and swears a lot. He’s lanky with big knuckles. Whenever someone makes him angry or does something to him he wants (and gets) revenge. One day he bragged to his friends about stealing from a gas station, and a small kid named Peter ratted him out. Like I said before, he gets revenge. So after school that day he found Peter, cornered him, and started punching him in the face and smashing his head on the sidewalk.

Since that happened Cole has been locked in a cell at detention center so he wouldn’t hurt anyone else. Even after this Cole is still cocky and determined to get into fights and hurt people. While he’s in the detention center a man named Garvey comes to visit him. Every he comes in and gets to know Cole better. Then one day Garvey comes to the detention center and tells Cole that he can either go to jail for assaulting Peter, or he can join the circle of justice and live on a remote island for one year alone. Obviously Peter choses the island.

So Cole gets dropped of at the island and is so angry that he burns down his cabin and all of his supplies. Then a white figure come out of the woods and is a bear. Cole is so angry that he tries to kill it but instead of him killing the bear, the bear attacks him and breaks his ribs one of his arms, one of his legs and rips the skin off of his chest. While Cole is unable to move he realizes how lucky he is to be alive and how beautiful the world really is. Just before he blacks out Garvey arrives and brings him to the hospital.

After Peter gets mauled by the bear he tells everyone about the mystical Spirt Bear, but no one believes that it was a Spirit Bear that attacked him, they think it was just a normal ordinary bear.

That is a small summary of the main character and I suggest it to everyone who likes reading. It shows how easy our lives really are.
