Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen

I am reading a book called "Touching Spirit Bear" by the author called Ben Mikaelsen. This book has exactly 240 pages and is about a boy who is against the law and is called Cole Matthews. Do you know that a protagonist can also theoretically be the bad guy. Well that is the case in this book and with Cole. As I said, he has committed many crimes even though he is just 15 years old. He is not a positive kid and, as I said, is kind of a criminal. At the start of the book he hospitalised a boy that went to his school by hitting his head against the sidewalk. That is just one of  the bad things he did. Now, he is sent to a deserted island to improve his behaviour. Even though he thinks that won't help and that he will never change. Something on that island will help him overcome his struggles...

Now, the antagonist or antagonists in this book! In this book there is no one to help Cole by their for him. He has parents, but they don't care about him that much and therefore don't have that big of an influence on him. So, essentially he is all alone in this big world! To him everyone around him is an "antagonist." That might change after his stay on the deserted island.

  1. Great Job! I think you showed deep undestanding of the characters and plot and your explanations were very good. You also gave examples of the events in the book to prove your statements. Keep up the good work!
