How would you feel if they found out that a bear could help you change your personality? In the novel, Touching Spirit Bear, by (don鈥檛 remember), Cole Mathews finds out that the only way that he can change is if he helps find out the secret to Spirit Bear.
What it looks like so far... Touching Spirit Bear.?
The author of the book is Ben Mikaelsen.
Your question is not altogether clear. Are you asking for ideas for an essay on how YOU would feel if you found out a bear could help you change your personality?
The young anti-hero Cole Matthews is a thoroughly angry young man who is extremely violent toward other youngsters. He has beaten up another youngster, Peter Driscal, so badly that brain damage is feared. He is offered an alternative form of retribution by way of Circle Justice.
In order to write your essay you are going to have to put yourself into Cole's shoes. His initial reaction to the new method of justice is triumphal, because he thought this got him out of jail ... but he is put into a cold climate and has to undergo great physical difficulties in order to find his redemption.
The storyline is an attempt to treat the problem holistically (ie the culprit, the victim, the victim's family, and in the long run the whole community). The whole them of the novel could be said to be repair, redemption and recovery .
So, having read the book, how would YOU feel if you met the legendary white bear and was attacked? How would you feel then about having to claw your way to survival and redemption? Is it worth it to undergo pain and struggle if you come out of the experience healed?
I have provided a link to the Amazon.com web page for two reasons. One is that you did not know the author's name, so in case you do not have the book this gives information on how you can obtain a copy. And two, there are customer reviews at the bottom of the page which give a good idea of what other readers thought of the novel. These reviews might help to inspire your essay.
