At the end of the book, Cole’s actions have switched from being savage to calm.

    Touching Spirit Bear: Cole’s Conflicts Have you ever thought about all the conflicts in your life? If you look back you probably realize that a lot of them were bad, but you must have overcome them if you are thinking about them now.
