  2. Touching Spirit Bear Summary

    The Characters in this book right now (Touching Spirit Bear) are Edwin, Garvey, and Cole.
    Setting of where they are is back on the island but this time Cole is going to build his own shelter sell his stuff for money that he will use to get to get tools.
    The problem right now in this story is Cole's anger, it's getting to the best of him.
    The Solution that Edwin tries is carrying a rock up a hill that has channeled his ancestors.

  3. In the story so far Cole,Edwin, and Garvey are staying at the island but leaving soon before it is winter. Cole and Edwin carried a rock up the hill to show that they help there ancestors along the way. But after Cole rolled the rock down the hill to roll away his anger. They danced the Whale but Cole danced the wolf while Garvey and Edwin we're sleeping. I think the solution at the end of the book is, when Cole realizes the change he has been through and thinks he can start over and be a great guy.

  9. The most important piece is when Cole does all the things that he did with Edwin but, he did them alone. For example, he went to the pond, and did what Edwin did, he took deep breaths in and out through his mouth. Then, he went up the hill on that hike with the stone, and when he stumbled, he remembered the times when he stumbled. One of the memories was when he beat up Peter Driscal. Then, when he got to the top, he lightly shoved the stone down the hill.

  13. In chapter 19 Cole, Edwin, and Garvey are on the island and early in the morning Edwin takes Cole to an icy pond to soak. While there soaking Edwin gave Cole a stick and told Cole that the right end of the stick was his happiness/calmness, and the left end was the anger/hatred. So Ed win tells Cole to break off one end of the anger/hatred side and when Cole does Edwin tells Cole that he told him to break the anger/hatred side off so Cole dose it over and over until there is a little piece left, and Edwin tells Cole that he can't

  17. After reading chapter 19, I know that Cole had burned down his shelter, got mauled by the Spirit Bear, and was rescued off the island. Recently, his mother told him she had changed, and would care more for Cole. He was going to jail, until Garvey and Edwin convinced The Circle to put Cole into their custody.The only difference is that Cole has to sell is valuables to afford the food rations and supplies because The Circle would not fund any money. The problem is that Cole can be stubborn and angry. So far, I think the solution is him learning to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, and respect nature. For example, like being alive or making the most out of a feast or a dance. I think Edwin and Garvey are helping Cole reduce his anger because Edwin takes him every morning to soak in a cold pond to clear his mind. Then they would get out of the pond and take a rock as his ancestors up the hill and then roll it downhill to release his anger.

  21. Spirit Bear Summary by Andrew King
    This is a story about a person named "Cole". The story is taking place at an island. Cole's problem is that he needs to get rid of his anger. I belive that the solution is he needs to do do the lessons and learn how to earn trust and respect.

  22. Touching spirit bear central theme
    The central theme of the novel Touching Spirit Bear by Ben mikaelsen is forgiveness, forgiveness means to forgive others for their wrongs. In the beginning Cole was hit by his dad. And eventually the more he (Cole) got hit the more bad he (Cole) got. In the middle of the story the author (Ben mikaelsen) added in a shimmer of good inside him. But when he (Cole) got mauled by the bear Cole starts to realize that this was his life so chose to live to survive, but he was so close to die but then out of nowhere Garvey or Edwin shows up and rescues him (Cole) pg 98. Later on Cole returns to the island again this time doing better than before this time he pulled up the ancestor, sitting in a freezing pond and carving totems. At the end of the book Cole gets beaten up by peter because he wants to show Cole how it felt like after peter got beat by Cole how it felt like being beaten by Cole and how it felt like being broken pg 235 to 237.
