Authors Note: This is a piece that has quotes that shows how changed the main character changes in the book Touching Spirit Bear.

Have you ever wondered how a character changes in a story by a quote? This is what happens in the book Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen. Cole Mathews the main character in the story Touching Spirit Bear made bad choices throughout his life. He had to pick if he wanted to life on an Alaskan island for one year or go to jail for one year. He picked the Alaskan island because he thought that it would be a piece of cake. When he was on the island he saw a white spirit bear it was calm and wasn’t afraid of Cole. Cole thought that everyone and everything was afraid of him that made Cole mad that the bear wasn’t afraid of him so he tried to kill the bear. The bear attacked breaking majority of his bones. When Gravey helped him get on the island he said he would check up on him. Gravey took him to the hospital and Rose the nurse helped him. Cole said on pg 106”Why do you guys help me?” And that quote is the changing point in the story. Majority of the people always wonder how a character changes in a story.

To start my journey, When Cole said “Why do you guys help me?” on page 106” Is a very important quote because it shows that the character changed in the story. I think that this quote “Why do you guys help me” is the turning point in the story Touching Spirit Bear because when Cole went to the island he burned down the shelter because he thought no one cared about him. But Cole was wrong Garvey and Rosey cared about Cole. Garvey wanted Cole to change in his life. Rosey help Cole in the hospital and helped him recovery.

To Close my case Cole Mathew’s changes in the story Touching Spirit Bear said “Why do you guys help me”. He thought that no one cared about him. He thought that everyone hated him and no one liked him. Garvey cared for him and wanted him to change in his life.
