What would you do if you got a second chance to turn your life around? This is what happens in the book Touching Sprit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen. The main character Cole Matthews was a bully to other kids like to Peter. Cole beat peter up that Peter ended up with speech problems. Cole got into a lot of trouble for what he had done he had to pick if he wanted to live on an Alaskan island for one year or go to jail for one year. Cole picked to live on the Alaskan island for one year because he thought it would be easy to live all by himself on a island than to go to jail. Cole was wrong he got mulled by a white spirit bear breaking majority of his bones and ended up in the hospital. Garvey wanted Cole to change in his life. The court was deciding if Cole should get a second chance or to go to jail for one year. The court decide that he should get a second chance but he would have to sell all of his stuff to pay for his shelter and for all the supplies he will need for one year for him to live on the island. The climax in the story is when Cole get the second chance because you can’t go back once you changed. If anyone got a second chance they would take it for granted and not ruin their chance.

This book taught Cole a big lessens. The climax in the story Touching Spirit Bear is when Cole gets his second chance on the island because you could turn back. When he rolled the rock down the hill taught him a big lesson he thought that was dub walk all the way up the hill and then roll a rock down a hill. But later on it showed him that he needs to roll away his anger. And the sticks, try to break the left side off the stick that impossible you always will have a left side. When he saw a animal and do the dance of the animal at the campfire. Also when Cole when in to the cold pond that made him change. When Cole said to Garvey” How Is Peter” you can see that the character changed in the story. He cares for Peter you can see on what he said. And when Garvey said” Not Well” That mad Cole think. Then Cole said” I Wish I Could Help Him Some How”.

To close my case, people in the world could all get second chances they would all take it for granted. The main character Cole changed a lot throughout the story. From when Cole had to break the left side of the stick off and he couldn’t and when Cole had to roll his anger down the hill. Cole. All of these lessons thought Cole different things. You can tell the main character changed because he asked “How Is Peter” He was thinking about the person that he hurt. And Garvey said” Not Well” and Cole said“I Wish I Could Help Him Some How”. And you could see that he is caring for the person that he hurt.
