Confession from Cole

Author's Note: We had to pick a paragraph or sentence that we thought was important from Touching Spirit Bear.

Hesitantly,he explained how he had how he had tried to escape the island and how he was mauled trying to kill the Spirit Bear. "I wanted to kill it because it wasn't afraid of me," he admitted.

I thought this paragraph was important because that Cole changed his ways by finally admitted something true. He admitted that he doesn't like it when people aren't afraid of him, because he likes seeing their reactions when they are. For example, when Cole and Peter were in the Circle of Justice together, Cole gave Peter the stare and Peter had a scared look in his eye, and Cole enjoyed it. He confessed something that he never would have if never went to that island.
