Character Clues. Matthews Mr. He's supposed to go to jail, but his parole officer, Garvey, somehow gets him into this program called Circle Justice, which is a Native American form of justice that emphasizes healing rather than punishment.
So Cole is sent to a remote Alaskan island where he's supposed to spend a year living off the land and reflecting on his mistakes. Before he's left there alone, Edwin, a Native American elder, warns him that he has to respect the natural world and that there's a mystical bear called Spirit Bear that might show up. Cole thinks this is all horseradish. As soon as Edwin and Garvey leave him, Cole burns down the shelter they've made for him and then starts swimming, determined to make it to the next island and escape.
Unfortunately for him, the tide keeps pulling him back in, and so after a while, he gets exhausted and has to return to shore. While he's trying to figure out what to do next, Cole runs into Spirit Bear.
Instead of respecting the creature, though, he tries to kill it and gets mauled pretty badly. Cole can feel life drifting away from him as he lies out in the open getting rained on and feeling himself grow weaker, but he refuses to die.
He does everything he can to stay alive, including eating his own vomit yuck and a live mouse. Before he can drift into oblivion, Cole is saved by Edwin and Garvey, who bring him back to Minneapolis and to a hospital to recover. During his recovery, Cole asks what will happen to him next, and Garvey tells him that he will probably have to go to jail since he totally squandered his chance on the island.
Before the people left him they taught him how to survive in the wild and they also warned him about the Spirit Bear, but Cole didn't know what kind of bear they were talking about, and said if he ever saw it, he'd kill it!
A long while later He saw the Spirit Bear coming toward him and he didn't understand because he thought everybody was afraid of him The Spirit bear tore Cole to shreds, when the attack was over Cole broke his ribs and was bleeding from head-to-toe. He was coughing up blood, but the attack just fueled his anger. When one of the people came back to check on Cole they found him lying nearly dead, bursting with fury.
They rushed him to the hospital, and called together Cole's mom, dad, and the family lawyer. When Cole woke up the next morning, he looked back at the attack and realized that not everything is about him and that he isn't as precious as he thought.
Then he looked back and actually felt for others and felt bad for them and even felt sorry! After that time, he became a better person and really changed his ways. Cole was a jerk who was a bully and utterly irresponsible. He didn't trust anyone who wasn't afraid of him. Cole thought others were idiots and complete fools blaming everything on others.
Every few months, Cole found himself being referred to someone else. The kid, Peter Driscal, was a ninth grader Cole had picked on many times Later, after school, Cole attacked Peter hitting him hard with his bare hands, He jumped on him and smashed Peter's head against the sidewalk. It took six other students to take him off of Peter. The police arrived and sent Cole to the detention center while the courts decide what to do with him.
Instead of going to jail he had to attend Circle Justice which is a group if people who come together and decide what they can do. A few weeks later, they officially send him to a remote island in Alaska. During his stay on the island he burned down the cabin Edwin and Garvey worked on. H was so mad, he couldn't think straight. Cole hated the Circle, he island and everything on it. After he burned down the cabin, he had tried to escape by swimming but it didn't work because the tide pushed him back to shore.
He saw the Spirit Bear down the shore. It kept taring at him, not afraid, so he tried to kill it. The Spirit Bear mauled Cole hard ad every second was painful. One day there was a lightning storm. The lightning struck the tree and the baby sparrows from the nest died. He thought that they didn't deserve to die which brought tears to him eyes. That was when he was really scared that he might die and that was the first time he started thinking about his life and cared about something besides himself.
He finally noticed the beauty in the world all around him, and his own errors, and his insignificance. He enacted his new understanding by telling the truth with just his own words coming out of his mouth and needing no proof. Cole does not only forgive others but himself. To be stronger than animal-like he soaks n the freezing pond and carries an ancestor roc up a slope and releases it as the form of taking away his anger.
Instead of reacting, he responds. Now he's humble about learning, not like before. Time in time, Edwin comes to check on Cole but instead he brought Peter, Peter's parents, and companioned by Garvey. It has been he hardest decision for them out of choosing Peter too stay on the island with Cole or for Peter to live his nightmares after the suicides.
Peter is first afraid of Cole and doesn't want to be near anyone. Cole understand and lets it go. Later, towards the end, the two forgive each other, and see the Spirit Bear one last time. It ends as Peter carves a perfect circle into the empty space of Cole's totem pole.
Part 1 Cole Matthews is a jerky narcissist who's also a bully who doesn't feel or appreciate anyone or anything. He thinks life is a game and he takes nothing seriously. He is utterly irresponsible and he thinks when he does something, it's someone else's fault.
He is spoiled to the point where he wants everyone to fear him. One of the reasons he's all mean and rude is because his Grandpa beat Cole's dad and then Cole's dad beat Cole. Also, his mom is usually drunk and scared. Part 2 The moment Cole changed was when the Spirit bear mauled him. Then, when the tree got struck by lightning and the sparrow's nest fell, he actually felt sorry for the sparrows. Me: No need to shout. Soon after, he notices beauty and his own error, and that he, Cole Matthews, was insignificant, he was not important, not precious.
Not everything was about him. He was just another person in the billions that surround him. He had been so arrogant, in fact, he wanted a giant bear, weighing around pounds, to fear him. Then, he finally notices life outside himself. Part 3 How Cole made a new Cole was by telling the truth, needing no proof but his words to prove something, he forgives himself, and forgives others. He redirected his angry energy into positive energy. He also soak in really, really, really cold water to calm himself.
Then after all his anger and fighting, he becomes stronger then his animal self, carrying an ancestor rock. He gives service to others, he's humble about learning. Plus, for the blank space on the totem pole, he carves Are you sure? Deven I. I think of Cole as a narcissist because he smashes a kid, Peter's head and put him in the hospital.
He is a really bad person because he has drunken parents and his dad abuses him. He abuses Cole because his dad abused him. His mom on the other hand is scared of her husband and she won't help Cole. Cole will then have to go to jail for hurting Peter, but all that is about to change. A man named Garvey is his caretaker, so Garvey gives him a choice to either go to jail and do nothing or to an island in Alaska.
So Cole thinks he is given a break out of jail, so they go to the island on a boat. On the boat an older man, Edwin, is going to help load supplies off the ship. Once they are on the island, Cole is relieved he is on the island and not in a cell, but is upset because he has to take classes to help him be a better person. One day Cole is frustrated so he burns his shelter and all the supplies. His mood was pure joy upon his discovery that Circle Justice could result in his ability to avert prison, which could potentially set him free.
His hatred and anger led him to boast about his strength, as he claimed to be able to kill a bear. When Garvey mentioned that the Spirit Bear , a noble bear-like being, makes his home in Alaska and can teach virtues, Cole thought that he could destroy the Spirit Bear. Eventually, Cole realized that he was wrong, and that his anger and hatred blinded him to the truth. His discovery, first made during a thunderstorm which killed some baby sparrows, whose life Cole worried about, made him change his ways, and he accepted and did what he had to do to seek redemption.
