Marcus and his father are arguing about whether the cops are doing a good job or not. Marcus believes that the cops haven't caught any terrorists, and they are just making people scared. Marcus's dad on the other hand, he strongly believes that the cops are doing amazing work. Marcus's dad even said he would gladly be pulled over if it was to make him feel safer. Marcus and his dad have opposite outlooks, and this is the big conflict.
Hope this helps! :)
You should look it up in a dictionary
Answer:
I think that if you change your language more, to be more formal and not use words like "a kid named cole" or "snitched" (also not trying to be mean just being critical so that you can get a good grade) I will write the exact same thing but more formal, it will be 100% mine and you can use it if you would like.
Explanation:
In the story "Touching Spirit Bear" the protagonist is Cole Matthews. He is a troubled teenager that gets in trouble for injuring and harrassing a peer by the name of Peter Driscal. He does this because of some anger issues that he is dealing with. His offences were serious so, he was facing a lot of jail time. His parole officer believes that Cole can change and he doesnt deserve this so instead of sending him to jail he gets him into a Native American program that they call Circle Justice.
Cole becomes a better person throughout the book, he becomes more confident and courageous. You can see a clear change because in the beginning he was making bad decisions for himself and while he experiences all of the ups and downs in this program he grows as a person. In one scene of the book Cole burned a cabin down. This shows that Cole is not making the right decisions, he acts out and does something drastic. Although this is true, latter in the same scene Cole cries expressing his emotions which tells the readers that he knows what he did was wrong and deep down he wants to do better and change. In another scene of the book Cole decides to make dinner for everyone. This shows that he has changed and become better. He shows that he cares about others and wants to have joy in his life, he worked hard and showed that he respected others. Another way that shows Coles improvements is when he hugs his mom. He is showing her that he cares and that he changed.
Hopefully this helps, hope you get a good grade!
