A Journey to the Mall Of America Following the wind not knowing where it would take me was my life. It was town to town with me I was hipster who traveled the world see and hearing everything, so I never wore a tie. My name is Austin Stone I was a free spirit who protested against things that I thought weren’t right. I’ve protested from things such as banning zoo, destroying nature, government, and using the power of sunlight. When I protested it was just for fun and joy. Back then I was just a boy. Now I am a man with a plan. As I passed from town to town until the wind brought me to the state of Minnesota. Going there remind of the first time I protested for what I believe in when I went to South Dakota. When I was in Minnesota the wind brought me to the American mall to protest for the protection of a piece of nature that was going to be destroyed. So I decided to tie myself to a tree, when the construction workers and police kept telling me to leave, but I just got annoyed. I loved nature, so letting nature get her hurt would suck. Destroying this beautiful piece of land wouldn’t be cool just to earn a quick buck. Then others decided to join my crusade to help protect the land. They demand that we move and if we did not comply they would cut off our hands. Despite what they said I stayed even if it cost me my life I was going to protect nature because I loved it. In the end the construction workers and police men saw how much the people and I care for this land so they decided that they would leave the land alone. I learned to stand up to people for things I believe are right even though I could have gotten in trouble.
