At the beginning of the book peter wasn't as scared of Cole like in beginning of the book but when Cole smashed his head in the sidewalk he was horrified he tried to kill him self 2 times because he thought his life was worthless but then near the end of the book peter started to beat up Cole but Cole got peter to stop beating him up and he was able to heal because Cole let him get his anger out And then they where able to Curve a perfect Circle with Cole( and was able to heal)
Garvey at the beginning he didn't care about Cole at all but later in the book he started to care. He was even able to mention what his was like in the past when he was Cole's age. Also at the beginning he was Calling him Champ but later he started calling Cole by his name instead of champ
Cole's mom is starting to change little by little like she isn't scared to speak as much like in the beginning of the book but when the Circle had a another meeting she held the feather firmly and spoke and she is more willing to talk to Cole and dress'es normally when she goes to talk to him. she is willing to listen to Cole and respond instead of running away she also stop drinking she is done running from her problems I think she hasn't finishing changing yet.
Plot

At the beginning of the story there are three characters introduced to us Gravely,Cole,Edwin. And they were on an island because Cole is going through banishment because he smashed Peters head in which is another character
"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".(I also think the bear attacked him because he was threatening the bear )
-
The Falling action is really after Cole went back to Minneapolis Minnesota after being mauled by the bear and was hospitalized and had to stay there until he healed.
Another falling action is when Cole was laying there dieing And saw a tree with Little baby Sparrows in it get struck by lighting and he was wondering if they were OK this is the first time he has actual cared for an living thing and was starting to heal

A sigh of Transformation was when Cole went from hating nature and blaming everyone for his problems to understanding his self and loving nature.
