Which words best describe the change that occurs in Cole from the beginning of the novel to the end? A - angry and defiant to understanding and sensitive. A is correct because at the start of the novel, Cole blames his problems on his parents and Peter, and he doesn't listen to authority at all, but rather makes his own rules. In the end, however, he helps Peter by inviting him to the island and gaining Peter's forgiveness. The two even carve a circle into the totem together.
