Last American Man ch.6

After the first year of Turtle Island being constructed and modified, the next year wasn't much different. He continued to build on the land instead of living off of it, and he continued to live on the road and go give speeches to young children. Although Eustace was just trying to make his land better and still teaching occasionally, he still continued to worry about his land. He was worried about his land being taken away by a developer or something just like what happened to the woods behind his house when he was young. With constantly working and having everything else on his mind but Valerie, his relationship went out the window. With Eustace never being there, Valerie cheated on him with a banjo player and started to get annoyed. With all the stress he has and Valerie nagging at him, it seemed to be more of a pain to build his dream then it would have been to not. The first two years of constructing his dream were suppose to happy and he wasn't suppose to be depressed because he was living his dream, but it was the complete opposite and all the people around him were becoming annoyed because of how much effort he put into his island rather then his family and friends.
