Ghost Of Spirit Bear: Required Category
This book is about Cole Matthews, a juvenile delinquent. In the first book of this series Cole hurts a boy named Peter very badly and now Peter stutters when he talks. The government decides to send Cole to an island for one year to learn how to not be angry all of the time (in the first book). Now (in the second book) he just returned from the island and is now reformed, but Cole is warned that if he did one thing wrong (getting into a fight) he would be sent to jail. Cole was extra careful about his behavior. Cole’s physical appearance isn’t described in the book but I picture him as being, tall, strong, and bold faced. In the first book Cole was very aggressive, mean, always angry, and he was a bully. But now that he has been reformed he is nice, happy most of the time, and he is actually best friends with Peter now. His main goal is to change his school mascot into a spirit bear after being mauled by a spirit bear while he was at the island in the first book. He always thinks of staying calm and not being frustrated no matter what situation he’s in because he knows it’ll just lead to trouble. Cole is pretty confident with himself but he can be not so confident at times, Example: when he has to speak in front of his entire school and even more people than that, he doesn’t think he will do good or he thinks that he will screw it up. Cole is definitely not admirable in the 1st book but in the second book he is a leader for his school and a very good speaker when he wants to be, so I do think that Cole is very admirable, Example: Again when Cole is speaking in front of his school he really reaches out and says some pretty amazing stuff that gets people to really like him. I do not think of Cole as self-centered, he is always thinking of other people, Example: He is always wondering about different people’s opinions like Peter and his principal. A couple things that make Cole different from other people, is that he has become a positive influence on people after just one year of rehabilitating himself on an island. He is also a juvenile delinquent which makes him different from many people.
