 Touching Spirit Bear

 In the book Touching Spirit Bear written by Ben Mikaelsen theirs this boy named Cole. Cole has some issues at school and family. That caused him to either be put in jail for a year or be sent to Alaska for a year. Cole chose to go to Alaska for a year instead of going to jail which helped change his life completely. He had to survive on this island and if it wasn’t for that spirit bear attacking him he would still be that disrespectful kid nobody likes.  The main theme in this story is survival

Why survival is a theme in Touching Spirit Bear is because he was on an island try to find food and water. Without water and food his life dangled before him. He was surviving on very limited food and water. The bear attacked him to teach him a lesson on to be thankful for the things he has and don’t treat everyone so awful.  

But  Cole definitely wanted to stay away from the spirit bear so that it wouldn’t kill him. Cole took that chance and went by the bear and it nearly almost killed him. The bear saved his life and helped his attitude to. He attacked Cole putting him in the hospital for 6 months. And after he recovered he got sent back to the island.

Another book that relates to survival is The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins. The goal is to be the last one alive in the arena. Theirs 24 people in one arena and you only have one partner with  22 other people trying to kill you. There can only be one winner in this game so when you and your partner are the last ones you have to choose if you want to kill them or not.  The winner can live the rest of their life in riches given to u by the Council.

Cole’s survival taught him to be respectful. He figured out he was this angry teenager always looking to fight someone. So Cole changed his act. Cole wanted people to care for him and to like him not for people to hate on him.
