Last American Man chapter 5 response

When Eustace starts Turtle Island, he has a rough time before he actually gets anyone to come, but even a harder time getting the money to buy up the acres that made Turtle Island. But what Eustace accomplished through building Turtle Island was amazing. He first talked to his dad for the first time in a while for giving him a loan to buy the acres, and succeeded. Second is that Eustace worked so hard to build up his land, and his promotion to the public so that he could get people to come to Turtle Island. In the end Turtle Island made Eustace a much stronger and confident person, even though he was extremely confident to begin with. The building of Turtle Island also allows him to teach the multitudes of Americans about what being a true American is all about. In one passage he tells a child when he was teaching a group how to set up traps to get food that no animal is harmless, unlike some humans I know of. All of these things help Eustace solidify his dream, and his purpose in life.
