Man's Worst Enemy In Touching Spirit Bear

The quote, “man becomes his worst enemy,” definitely applies to both of the stories. In Touching Spirit bear, Cole burns down his shelter. The way this makes him his own enemy is because, by burning it down, he lost all of his supplies. He los his bed, his food, his shelter in general, his clothes, and the book that Edwin gave to him which consisted of the foods poisonous and not. So, Cole is left with nothing but the clothes he’s wearing. In “The Monsters are due on Maple Street,” the people turn against one another to figure out who the “alien” was. So, they go from being each other’s closest friends, to worst enemy. They all have good intentions, which are, protect your family from any harm, but that doesn’t mean they need to beat each other
