“What’s going to happen next?”

"This is a prediction to Chapter 7 in the book "Touching Spirit Bear" By Ben Mikaelson"

What would you do if you had to live on an isolate island in Alaska for a year? The book “Touching Spirit Bear” By Ben Mikaelson, is a story about a juvenile delinquent named Cole that gets sent to an Island in the middle of nowhere somewhere in Alaska for his punishment for all of the crimes he has committed. One crime that he has committed was worse than any of the other crimes he has ever committed; he beat the living out of a young teenager named Peter Driscal for ratting him out, when Cole robbed a hardware store. And that is when he gets sent to the isolated island in Alaska for one year. I think that was a good idea for Cole, because I’m sure he will learn his lesson down the road.

In Chapter 6, of the book “Touching Spirit Bear” Cole is trying to get away from this dreadful island by swimming away, but he doesn’t realize that he isn’t getting far because the tides are pushing him back towards the island. Since the water is bone quivering, Cole’s body won’t let him go any farther, so his legs give out and eventually he floats back to shore. Cole crawls himself over to the recently burnt down shelter than he burned to the ground and falls asleep there. A few hours pass and he wakes up and gets enough strength to move around and make a small fire. He makes a small fire and finds food, and watches the tides waiting for the perfect time to go back out and try swimming away again. That is the end of chapter 6, now I will write what I think will happen in chapter 7.

I predict that in chapter 7, Cole will wait for the perfect time to leave the island by swimming again, and that is where he will fail again and get back to shore like the first time. I also believe that Cole will give up with trying escaping the island, and try to get more comfortable with the land that he is residing on. That is where Cole will see the spirit bear, and he will try to attack it again but this time the bear will come after him and hurt him just like what he did to Peter Driscal. And that will be the end of chapter 7. I believe all of this will happen because everything happens for a reason and a little earlier in the book it said the spirit bear mocked Cole as if it was Cole in the bear. And that is where I get the conclusion that the bear will attack him, because then Cole will get the idea of what he did was wrong. That would make the most sense because Cole needs to learn his lesson, plus this would relate to the quote “What comes around goes around”. And earlier in the book the Indian Head guy told Cole that “People learn more from animals than you think of, more than any teacher could teach you.” And what I was thinking would happen, would fit perfectly into what that Indian head guy told Cole. If that bear attacks Cole like the way attacked Peter, that would make Cole learn his lesson and that is where he would have his big climax change.

Cole will have to learn his lesson down the road because of what I think will happen to him down the road. People have changes all the time, but Cole Matthews change might be the biggest of all, but we just need to keep reading to find out what really happens to Cole farther in the story of “Touching Spirit Bear”.
