Greg Heffley In Touching Spirit Bear

Improved Essays
In Touching Spirit Bear Yoda is a perfect fit for Edwin. Yoda is a Jedi Master in “Star Wars” and is very wise, just like Edwin. Yoda teaches Luke Skywalker all the needs for becoming a master. Edwin taught Cole everything he needed to know to get rid of his anger. Edwin is old just like Yoda was 900 years old.
Cole is the angriest character in Touching Spirit Bear. Throughout the book, the narrator kept on explaining that Cole’s anger was smoldering and was about to explode. In the movie “Inside Out,” there is a character who fits Cole perfectly, Anger. Anger is obviously full of anger and that’s his main character trait. Cole and anger fit because they are both extremely angry all the time.
Greg Heffley is a wimp, just like Peter Driscal.

    Into the Wild Questions In the first chapter of the book, the tone is very straightforward and unbiased. He says that he tried “to minimize his authorial presence.” As Krakauer begins the Into the Wild, he includes both positive and negative facts and comments about Chris McCandless by people who have met him during his journey. I don’t think that the author is very sympathetic towards Chris because he is so straightforward and doesn’t really show any emotion.…

Life is seemingly going smoothly for Riley and her emotions.…
