Turtle Island

Turtle Island, to Eustace, was his dream land and idea and with everything happening in his life he felt as if he needed to get his idea off the ground and start building. With Eustace being poor, he had to turn to his father who he hadn't spoken to in a while and ask him for money. With asking he told his dad he would pay him back as soon as he could and wouldn't slack. With the promise he made he knew he would have to keep it which forced him to work vigorous hours. We he would be finished, in his mind it wasn't the way it was suppose to be so he would keep on going and keep working, so he would then be forced to ask his dad for more money. Along with building his dream, he gave speeches to children and in his free time he was constructing an office for himself. With the building of his dream there were two people who he was trying to do his absolute best for, his Dad and Valerie. With him working continuously it made Valerie feel deserted and he borrowed money from his dad, but there was an upside to the negatives. the campers attending Turtle Island enjoyed themselves and he would receive letters in the mail about how more mature their children were and how much fun they had.
