Conflict and Resolution

Author's Note: This piece is my conflict and resolution on "Touching Spirit Bear" and how it is Person vs Nature.

The book "Touching Spirit Bear," is about a 15 year old boy named Cole Matthews, who was getting into fights for a very long time, but the last time getting caught smashing a boys head into the ground was the last straw. They had to do something about it. He is offered to go on the island, Circle of Justice, to change the way he acts. Struggling to survive, things can only get worse by running into the Spirit Bear. Will he survive and learn to live on his own? Or will he just give up? This type of conflict is called Person vs Nature. This is because Cole is fighting the wilderness to survive.

 This conflict gets resolved, because Cole teaches himself how to build fires, how to hunt and many more things a survivalist would have to know. He gets help by a parole officer named Garvey. He helps him in many ways, to learn how to become a better person, to forgive, and best of all, control his anger he has with others. This conflict is similar to the conflict in "Hatchet," because Brain, on of the main characters, get in a plane crash and has to learn how to survive on his own.
