On the first day, he ran into some bad luck when he fell over a steep ledge directly into some menacing thorns and drew blood. Little Hawk was injured, but he still continued on and made a fire and fell asleep under a rock overhang for the night. The next few days, Little Hawk continued to survive, making traps and fishing for food. He did this same routine for the rest of the three months after the traps broke and he got hungry. When he caught an eel, his father’s prized steel knife slid across the icy lake and sunk to the bottom before he could retrieve it.
There are my distractions in life and he took for granted the loved he used to have for her. He started to feel those old emotions as he held her and saw that his baby was always there. The tragedy of losing his love helped him see what was always in front of him. He might have always had that love but didn’t realize how much he was still in love with her.
