Did you know colors can describe people? In Touching Spirit Bear Red represents Cole because he is angry and Powerful.
Cole is violent as said in the book. ?Cole jumped on him and again started smashing his head against the sidewalk.? (Mikaelson, 7) His violence is shown also in the book here, ?He narrowed his eyes threateningly and Peter looked away.?(Mikaelson, 37)
Red also symbolizes Cole because he is powerful. ?Nobody crosses Cole Matthews and gets away with it? (Mikaelson, 7) Cole also showed anger when he was waving goodbye to people trying to help him. ?Cole waved back, grinning. This far away, they couldn?t see the extended middle finger he brandished at them? (Mikaelson, 20)
The facts above prove that Cole is red. What color are you?
I updated it with very basic grammatical and "aesthetic" improvements:

Did you know colors can describe people? In Touching Spirit Bear, the color red is used to represent Cole because of his tendency towards anger and power.
Cole is violent, which is repeated throughout the story to emphasize it's impact. From passages such as, ?Cole jumped on him and again started smashing his head against the sidewalk?, we can clearly see that Cole favors physical brutality to express himself. (Mikaelson, 7) His violence is shown also in other passages such as, ?He narrowed his eyes threateningly and Peter looked away,? which also shows how intimidating he can be. (Mikaelson, 37) etc, etc.

I didn't want to write the paper for you, but I also didn't know exactly on what level it was going to be graded (elementary, college, etc), and on what terms (creativity, use of quotes, formatting, etc). I also don't see how red is explicitly connected to the emotions. They are commonly associated with that color, but none of the quotes you used actually explained the connection. I'm not sure of the requirements for the paper though, so I really can't be of much help there.

7th grade paper.
And the main focus is the thesis statement.
And yeh i guess you wouldnt know what we learned in class but it's a weird color symbolizing thing. And the teacher grades it and he read the book so he knows the quotes and all
