Cole Matthews is a troubled student who decides that by being banished he will escape his jail time. He ends up being mauled, so he says by the Spirit Bear. He then returns to the island after spending time in the hospital. How do you think his return to the island will be and why?

I think Cole's return to the island will be a better one than the first time on the island, because he has learned not to mess with nature or it will hurt you really bad, worse that you ever expected in your life.

I agree, how can you survive without messing with nature though?

You can survive without messing with nature by nott trying to harm the nature like Cole tried with the bear.

I think Cole's visit to the island now will different this time. I think it will be different because after he got mauled by the bear, his attitude changed. Also, Cole said he wish he didn't blow his first chance on the island.

So you believe he has changed and wishes he didn't blow his chance on the island or he just does not want to go to prison?

I think it'll be different because he wont escape and he will know not to face or challenge the bear once again. Also Cole wont try to burn up the shelter like in his previous visit to the island.

His return to the island is going to be more significant. Its going to mean more ot him. And is going to makehim change. He is oging to feel better about himself and able to leave anger behind. He is also going to caremore about hislife and be the thankes he is alive. He is also going to take care of everything on teh island and is going to make sure he doesnt hurt animals.

How I have seen Cole changed is by when he was willing to help Peter and said he would stay on the island for as much time as needed. Cole also was vey patient with Peter when he pushed him in the water and when he did alot more things.Cole changed by finally being invisible and forgiving him self.

When Cole returns to the island, he is learning to discover the goodness of his life. He is learning that his life is important to others, and to himself. Cole will learn to control his anger. I think that the rest of his stay, Cole will act better, and he will see the the Spirit Bear again. He wants to know more about the Spirit Bear. He wants to reconsile the harm he has done to Peter, and I think he is going to change for the best.

Cole changes by he learns how to control his temper. He tries to make friends with Peter, and tries to make everything alright. He wants to make alright, and try to heal. Cole thinks he can help Peter become a better person, like he has.

5/2/2013 02:11:30 am

When Cole goes back to the island is that he is going to see the Spirit Bear. That Edwin and Garvey goes with him to make sure that he don't get hurt any more. That he have to build the storage by his self with his arm that is not feeling better yet. That Cole is going to change and he wants Peter to say that he forgive him but he also wants to change and he wants he life to be better. I also think that he is going to try to escape again and start talking to the bear and see whats the bear wants from him. That he will start caring for everything around him and want people to know that he has change. That he will start to control his angry and not take it out on everybody around him.

Does Cole escape again? How doe he start to change?

Cole does not escape. Cole change by how he wanted to make a canoe and he didn't becuase he know that he was going to try to escape. He made a totem and he invite Peter to the island so Peter can change to because he try to kill himself twice. Cole wanted to heal, but he had to help Peter before he is all the way healing. Cole didn;t get mad as much as he use to be. When Peter push Cole and hit Cole in the face. Cole didn't hit back because he know the Peter was mad at him for hurting him.

I think the return will be different and he will contral his angry and not fight the spirit bear. He will find the true meaning to life and be freeed after the island,

The true meaning to life, I think is forgiving others and becoming their friends. When Peter starts to beat him up Cole does nothing and lets Peter beat him up. Peter starts throwing rocks at him and cole ignores him.
