Conflict/ Resolution

Authors Note: I wrote this essay on the main conflict of Touching Spirit Bear and explaining the conflict and how they fixed it.

            In the book Touching spirit bear there were many conflicts like Cole vs. Person, Person Vs. Self, but the main conflict is Cole trying to recover from being attacked by a bear, but it’s almost impossible because he is by himself, and ripped to nothing. The conflict in the story is Person Vs. Nature, but Cole can’t get back to the island and prove himself, until the end of the story at least.

            In the book you can tell that Cole is having trouble with everything, like getting in fights with kids in school, cheating on a test, or not doing homework. But Cole is also stuck with an alcoholic Mother, and an abusive Father. Even going to get a candy bar he finds a way to get in trouble.

            The conflict was resolved when he was attacked and realized the beauty of nature. Because of his near death experience Cole had to eat grass and animals. He realized how lucky he was, and how he can fix things for himself. He started trying harder, and doing extra things. Everyone noticed he changed so much.

            The main conflict in this story is like the conflict in The Shadow King where Max got attacked by a demon kid named Ray. Then Ray tried to burn Maxes body, but with the help of his friends they got him out of the field. Maxes parents were rich, fought, and got divorced and Max was going through just what Cole was going through.

In the book Touching Spirit Bear, the main conflict is Cole trying to find his place in the world. The book gets there after he gets attacked by a bear. He survived and became a sort of hero to his Mom, so he did find his place in the world.
