Cole has shown that he wants to control his life now because when he was about to prove himself to Garvey by showing him the bear hair. The text says, "Deliberately he raised his hand and tossed the hair into the water,"(Mikaelsen 112). This shows that he wants to be a better person and is changing himself into one by not getting that angry about Garvey not believing him.
