Short Story: Cole Sutton's Bane

On August 30, 1972 Stephen Ernest Carneal was born at Henrico Doctors in Henrico County VA. Janice H. Carneal and Ernest L. Carneal Had their second boy, their first being John H. Carneal. Stephen Went to Richmond Christian Academy for school and liked hunting and and fishing with his dad as a kid. As a teenager Stephen liked hanging out at the mall and the movies with his friends.

He wondered if he was worthy of still living when the baby sparrows that hadn’t done anything wrong were killed when the tree their nest was in fell over. “They hadn’t deserved to die. Then again, what right did he have to live?” This shows that Cole is questioning whether he is actually more important that any other living creature, and that he is beginning to realize that everybody’s life is equal. Cole also tried to get the spirit bear to kill him when he was alone on the ground. He did this because he was afraid of the pain that it would bring and the fact that he couldn’t control all that was going on around him such as storms. He showed that he was afraid of what was going on around him, and that he was starting to change his view on the

Cole’s personality is very solitary but is an affectionate and warm nine year. Cole’s mysterious, and hidden secret has allows him to became an isolated part of the world around him. People around him are very confused

Towards the end of the book when Cole does his anger dance, he says the words “I forgive you” for the first time in his life. “At that moment, words he had never been able to speak before welled up inside him. ‘I forgive you’, he cried loudly. ‘I forgive you’” (194). The thematic statement says to forgive someone you have to forgive yourself. In this passage Cole forgives himself for the first time in his life.

Cole does not seem to have any control of the unforgettable emotion, anger. “Edwin told me once that anger was a memory never forgotten. He’s right” (Page 130). The main cause of his anger is his own angry and alcoholic

Living on the island and overcoming nature helps Cole learn that he's not a bad person, to forgive, and to tame his anger towards the world. Firstly, Cole learns that he's not a bad person, just a human-being who makes mistakes. For instance, on page 168, Cole states, "People are scared and do bad things...". This quote shows Cole's understanding towards his father's actions.

In the beginning of the novel, Cole Mathews behaves cruelly when he becomes emotional. For example, when the narrative begins, we learn that he is in serious trouble for beating a kid named Peter Driscal up, because Peter divulged the truth about the boy robbing a hardware store. Later on, our main character is sitting in a detention cell as a consequence of his actions and becomes exasperated over not getting what he wants. Hence, he throws an outburst of violence. “[Cole’s] rage ignited. [He] jumped to his feet and stormed across the cell. He tipped over his metal-framed bed and started hitting the wall harder and harder. Soon blood from his scraped knuckles smeared the concrete.” (Mikaelsen 25). During those episodes, the protagonist and oddly enough the antagonist becomes very displeased, but also very scared and sad.

At this point in the story Cole is getting better, but he hasn’t fully changed yet, he still gets psychotic often but he is learning how to control it. Whenever he sees the Spirit bear, he still acts out vigorously as he says “‘You maggot!’ Cole yelled, leaping to his feet. ‘I’ll kill you!’” (Mikaelsen 69). He also still gets angry when things aren’t scared of him like the example with the spirit bear. Like when Edwin came to the Circle Justice meeting and had an example using him shoving down Cole, he had to try very hard not to fight back. However, at this point in the story Cole is also showing emotion like whenever the baby birds fell out of the nest and perished, he says that it should of been him that died, not the birds. As you can see in the turning point in the story cole still acts out savagely, but is starting to make an

In the beginning of the novel, Cole behaves cruelly when he becomes emotional. For example, Cole beats up Peter after Peter has told on Cole for breaking into a store. Another time, Cole hated the stare he was getting, he spit into the wind, were the wind would catch the saliva and carry it back to Edwin. The only reason to why Cole spit cause he hated the stare he was getting and he wanted the saliva to hit Edwin. Whenever, Cole was asked to eat the ingredient separately, he told Gravey it won’t taste good, but you mixed the food together it tastes good. Cole got really mad that he made the food going flying cause how he acted, once he is angry. Cole becomes very angry and he ends up acting very harsh.
