A Land Remembered

     As Punta Rassa and the prairie start to become more inhabited, Tobias and the crew start facing more and more problems each day. Many people in the area are getting greedy for gold and land, which greatly troubles the family. Zech and Glenda end up losing a child to the greediness of men who are after their gold. At one point Zech remembers a time as a kid when he saw all the different animals, predators and prey together, sharing the only water source to survive. At this moment he thinks, why men can’t live this way. This made me think about how much bloodshed has happened for this sole reason. It is impossible for most men (people) to think like animals, greediness and dominance takes over and they will destroy everything in sight to get what they want. If people learned how to live together instead of wanting to own everything, the world would’ve been such a different place.
