The Nest

by Violet Sorzano

Randall squinted up through the trees, trying to gauge the time, but gave up quickly. He should have paid attention when his father taught the family to read the position of the sun. He should have paid attention, too, before sneaking off this morning on his first solo hike, forgetting the whistle his mother stressed he always bring.

He pictured his parents now at their camp beneath the tree with the eagle’s nest, wondering where he was. Randall was wondering the same thing. Lost and out of food, he feared he had but a few hours before darkness closed in, trapping him in the bitter cold with the creatures of the night.

He closed his eyes to fight back tears, when he heard it in the distance. Water! His father’s words came flowing into his mind; one tip he actually remembered. “If you’re ever lost, find a river and follow it.”

In a flash, he was on his feet, scaling fallen trees, tearing through brush, frantically following the sound. The sky grew darker, but the noise grew louder, and Randall, tired and scared, forged ahead until he found it. He reached the river bank and was mulling his next move when a sudden splash caught his eye.

A majestic eagle rose from the water, soaring skyward with a freshly caught fish in its talons. Could it be the same eagle nested above his camp? It glided triumphantly into a high nest a short distance away, eager to greet its family. Randall smiled, equally triumphant, eager to do the same as he followed the eagle’s flight.

In the distance, he saw his mother, his whistle clutched in her hand.

Answer:

Violet Sorzano , author of The Nest, uses the theme of obedience in this story. Overall, the theme of obedience rings clear as you feel Randall's regret for not paying attention to the life lessons his parents taught him. The lack of obedience puts him into this fearful situation. The setting of the forest or woods, where the family has not set up camp but, rather, where Randall has wandered off aimlessly is scarey. I think Randall is the antagonist and the parents are the protagonists. They taught Randall certain skills for his own safety and survival but Randall did not listen. He did not value their advice. The conflict in the story occurs within Randall himself. Just as he feels all hope is lost, an Eagle appears and sparks a memory in Randall's head. Now he needs the memory and finds his way back to his parents.

For this project, you will have several choices! Choose ONE (1) of these three options:

Option 1:
You may choose to write a traditional 5-paragraph compare-and-contrast essay about the two Mark Twain texts. If you do this, you should follow these guidelines:

Paragraph 1—This should be an introduction of the two texts, ending with a thesis statement that explains how the three literary elements you will focus show that the texts are more similar or more different.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4—Each of these body paragraphs should focus on one of the terms from your prewriting activity. You should explain the evidence of that term in each text, and how this shows their similarities or their differences.
Paragraph 5—This concluding paragraph should summarize what you have presented in your body paragraphs and contain a final sentence that rephrases your thesis.
Option 2:
You may choose to do a slideshow presentation about the two texts. If you do this, you should follow these guidelines:

You should have a minimum of 8 slides (not counting a title slide for your presentation).

Slide 1—This should be a paragraph introduction of the 2 texts, including a thesis statement that states whether these texts have more similarities or more differences.
Slides 2-7—These slides should be in the "Title and 2 columns" format. The title of the slide should be one of the literary terms, and in each box you should explain how that term is represented in each text (your prewriting notes will be very helpful here!)
Slide 8—This should be a few concluding sentences, and you should state which of the terms you covered in the previous slides best prove that the two texts are more alike or more different.
Option 3:
You may choose to create a video (remember the Forest Service official who was contrasting the two volcanoes?) in which you follow these guidelines:

Begin by giving the viewer an explanation of what these two texts are.
State definitely whether you will be talking about how similar or how different these two texts are.
Using a minimum of three of the literary terms as your criteria, explain how each one relates to the text. These explanations should prove the statement you made (whether the two texts have more similarities or more differences).
Conclude your video with a final statement about the two texts.
See the rubric attached to the assignment—make sure you keep referring to this as you complete your work so that you will get all of the points possible.
