Cole Cast Away Character Analysis

Inherit the Wind is a play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee that depicts the infamous Scopes Trial. The real names of the persons involved in the case were changed, however, the play recounts the same story. One journalist in the story, E.K. Hornbeck, who is closed-minded, a hypocrite, and very cynical proves that the religious community of Hillsboro is not the only one to be intolerant.

In Touching Spirit Bear Cole says, “In death there was no control, no anger, no one to blame, no choices, no nothing.” Cole kept showing that he wanted to live and change, even after the mauling. In addition, Cole shows many more acts of survival, in order to survive.

The death of Coral’s son has caused an emotional breakdown as she cannot accept her son’s death. Moreover, Coral has lost her social identity and tends to struggle to find a connection with anyone, as she “can’t think of anything to say” (Act 2, Scene 2). Her husband, Roy, is annoyed by her bizarre attitude and this causes Coral to lower herself to the behavior of a naïve child “I’ll be good! I’ll improve!” When Coral does begin to speak, it is presented as very expressive and mournful. Her tone is filled with emotion as she is constantly “wiping away tears”.

The nature of discovery can be dependent on various aspects of necessity, and curiosity depending on the individual’s intentions as discovery can also be an unexpected or sudden experience. The play Away by Michael Gow, illustrates discovery as reassessing knowledge, beliefs and shapes relationships between families as it becomes necessary to revaluate and self- reflect. Away focus on the individual family’s relationships and views of life through change in physical location this can impact families to consider the necessary values of their lives to review emotionally and spiritually. Be by brother by Genevieve Clay-Smith explores the intellectual challenge of society and individuals to accept that people with disability are misjudged and

The Fault in Our Stars depicts Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with terminal thyroid cancer. The book chronicles her relationship with Augustus Waters, who has also been diagnosed with cancer. Throughout the novel, Hazel constantly struggles with her identity in relation to her disease. She is conflicted whether to accept the prescribed image society has of her or to embrace her true inner self. Through a period of self-realization, she eventually comes to terms with and redefines her identity. Although society may define an individual’s self-image, The Fault in Our Stars demonstrates that identity is defined by the inner self, rather than external forces; in turn, that self-perception deeply impacts one’s perspective on life.

To start with, Cole’s actions throughout the book majorly affected how he turns out at the end of the book. In this part of the book, Cole had burnt down his small hut and had tried to escape the island. After he failed, the Spirit Bear came showed up and Cole got angry and went to attack the bear. “When Cole’s advance brought him within ten feet of the Spirit Bear, he made his move. He flung the spear with all his strength, fully intending to kill. A blur of white motion deflected the shaft down into the grass as the bear lunged” (65). A few pages later when Cole is laying down on the ground after the bear attack the book says, “Cole grunted angrily-he didn’t want to die yet. Yes, someday that would be part of his circle. Someday he would lie in his own waste and be eaten by maggots. But not now!” (85). These quotes show how Cole’s actions affect him in the future because the action taught Cole that he was

In society, people tend to follow the people's footsteps and apply new characteristic or methods that they obtain from there person. In the story, Into the Wild, Chris McCandless was a boy who favors several literacy heroes. He was able to understand each hero and apply there knowledge that they obtain from other people. He was favoriting Henry David Thoreau, Jack London, Leo Tolstoy and much more. Henry David Thoreau was an American poet and an essayist and wrote numerous books based on his philosophy. However, in the book, he plays a crucial role in giving Chris McCandless life lesson throughout his journey. Jack London is a worldwide celebrity and a famous novelist and journalist. He also has some characteristics that Chris has also obtained from him. In addition, Leo Tolstoy was one of the greatest Russian authors of all times. He has inspired Chris with some of his quotes which reflects him during his journey. There are more heroes that Chris mentions in the story but these are three which he tends to reflect more on.

It takes time to learn a new thing especially for Cole Matthews. Cole grew up with a roof over his head but not the parenting that he should of had. Both of Cole’s parents are drinkers, and when Cole dad is drunk he beats Cole for no reason. As Cole grew up he learned of that and thought it was ok. So he started doing it and beating up kids and breaking the law. Cole beat up a kid named Peter so bad that Peter is now suicidal and he has a stutter. Instead of Cole going to jail, he went to a circle of justice and the circle of justice decided that Cole needs to be banished to a island for a year. Well Cole is on the island he changes his physical thoughts, Taking other people's ideas, and looking out for others instead of just himself.

A meaningful life lesson in Touching Spirit Bear is that animals can teach people more about themselves. This is presented in the text on Cole’s second trip to the island when he dances around the fire. Every time he dances it is supposed to represent an animal such as a beaver or a wolf and at the end, he learns about the qualities of the animals that help them survive. For example, from the beaver, he learns that it has patience and ingenuity (Mikaelsen,222) and from the wolf; he learns that he needs to accept help and help other people (Mikaelsen,221). From this, it is clear that the animals can help people become more humane.

In the novel Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen he writes, “I’m sorry for you getting you into this...He shook his head. My fault! He whispered.” The quote shows that Cole is finally taking responsibility for his actions. Despite the fact that Cole scarred Peter Driscal for life and could go to jail for it, he shouldn’t because he never really got a chance after being mauled by the bear.

I believe that at the end of chapter 1 in the book we are meant to feel that Cole is a very mean person. Also that he thinks he is better than everyone and he is superior, the evidence to show this is on page 4 when it states “Still standing on the dock in front of everyone, Cole smirked as he undressed.” This piece of evidence shows that cole thinks he is better than the people because he is smirking as he undresses in front of them. Another piece of evidence to show that cole thinks he is better than everyone is on page 5 and it says “Nothing could be farther from the truth. To cole this was another big game.” This clearly is showing that cole thinks he is better than everyone he takes everything as a game he doesn’t really realize what is

(On Page 3-4 cole says, he didn't trust anyone who wasn't afraid of him ). Cole seems to think that they just want to get rid of him. ( from page 6) Cole is driven by anger it keeps him going (mostly in the wrong direction).(page 43) Cole sometimes realizes that the anger has clouded his thinking and he hasn't gone anywhere( “On page 43 it states, Cole realized his mistake. His anger had so clouded his thinking…”) this is his strength/weakness.

Ben Mikaelsen wrote a story about a troubled boy named Cole Mathews. The book is called “Touching Spirit Bear”. Cole did some bad things in his life and he has to fix them. Instead of going to jail for the things he has done Cole goes to an island to become a better person.

Cole proved he could be submissive to authority, but only when the orders were from authority. An example of Cole’s submission to authority was when Cole attempted to tell his friends about the echo he struck a bargain with (45). Another example was when Cole obeyed the order to split up with the rest of the group (56). Cole also followed Honor’s order to tell Mira not to come for her personally (103). Cole followed Sando’s directions to walk out of the stable (111). Sando also ordered Cole to lead his friends to a path, which he did (114). Cole also gave the ringer to Jace once Sando ordered him to (134). Finally, Cole followed Hunter’s directions to grab a leg to carry out their friends from an ancient spirit prison (144). All these examples show Cole was willing to submit to authority. They also show that it does not matter who is giving the orders Cole still follows them. Cole is a very complex character, but is still very

The main character, Wade Owen Watts changed a lot from the beginning of the book to the end of the book. At the start of the book when he was talking to Art3mis I got the feeling that he was a stuck up jerk who didn't care about anyone. As the story progressed he seemed to lose some of that indifference as he went through different stages. at first he had nothing, no money, no family, and no home. but as time progressed he earned a living and got a job in the oasis and started to feel better he even made a few friends and was happy. Unfortunately this didn't last long as he and his friends went their separate ways and became rivals in the quest for the egg. But at the end he gained it all back and more as he was truly happy for the first time
