The main idea of the story The Great Eagle is to “stay persevered”. I know this because in the book, on page 27 Noshen says, “I am hot and thirsty. There are beads of sweat on my nose. I am getting tired but I do not slow down.” If Noshen did not stay persevered he could not reach his destination or goal. Another example is evident on page 30 when Noshen says, “I do not move, not one part of my body. Oh, how I want to hold on to Grandfather. But I do not. My heart is pounding like the beat of the drum.” when facing the Eagle. If Noshen did not stay persevered he would never get to experience the eagle in a unique and different way. The last example is from my own connection. My connection is that, I made it to the girls volleyball team only

So I would join him and help him with the firewood, so I grew up in the park. There are so many things you can do in the park, like hiking up to a former fire lookout, hiking down into a lake and fishing.

As you finish your snack, you decide that rather than leaving the package inside of your car, you will just dispose of it out the window.

Littering is something that occurs quite often and pollution is just the beginning of factors that negatively impact our wildlife. The carefree actions of humans have led many species to face endangerment. The bald eagle, an American icon and national symbol, was considered an endangered species due to negligent human disregard.
