Can someone tell me if this is good or not?

The Rock once said, “Don't focus on the pain, focus on the progress” (www.quotespedia.org). In the emotional book "Touching Spirit Bear" by Ben Mikaelsen, the character Cole Matthews does not focus on the past; he focuses on the present. The protagonist is Cole Matthews, a troubled teenager who gets into trouble for injuring and harassing a peer named Peter Driscal due to anger issues. His offenses are serious, so he faces a lot of jail time. However, his parole officer believes Cole can change and doesn't deserve jail, so instead, he is placed in a program called Circle Justice. Throughout the book, Cole becomes more confident and courageous, changing from mischievous to loyal.

Cole becomes a better person throughout the book, demonstrating growth and maturity. At the beginning, he makes poor decisions, such as burning down a cabin, acting out and doing something drastic. However, later in the same scene, Cole cries and expresses his emotions, indicating that he knows what he did was wrong and desires to change. In another scene, Cole decides to make dinner for everyone, showing that he cares about others and seeks joy in his life. He works hard and respects others. Another example of Cole's improvement is when he hugs his mom, showing her he cares and has changed for the better.

In summary, Cole becomes more confident and courageous throughout the book, transforming from mischievous to loyal. "Touching Spirit Bear" is about Cole Matthews, who struggles with anger issues and assaults a peer for snitching on him. Sent to the Circle Justice, he is placed on an island to survive and address his anger issues, ultimately growing into a more confident and courageous person.
