This book shows that discipline and respect goes a long way

I've read the book Flight of the Golden Eagle and I feel that this book has a lot of hidden meanings. It speaks a lot about war. And how we can work together to solve our differences. That war is not always the answer to our problems. The one part of the book that I liked was when the instructor said to the students, "Everybody has a certain animal inside of us." And that you should try to figure out what animal you are. I feel this is true. I think I have the snake. I also learned that kids know how to stop a war and some adults do not. Children have an open mind and are willing to see the other side of the issue. Another part of the book I enjoyed was when a boy saw a tiger and her cubs in the woods. The tiger was alarmed to see the boy. But then the boy remembered a lullaby he learned from a young boy a long time ago. Then he sang it to the mother tiger. She calmed down and the boy went down the path. This shows how to handle a bad situation with a positive attitude. This book shows that discipline and respect can go a long way.

This story made me think.

In this book, "Flight of the Golden Eagle, Tales of the Empty-Handed Masters" there are many stories in one. This book tells about conflict and how to stop it. It also teaches how to clear your mind, and tells how to get out of habits and how habits are bad. It gives advice or wise sayings. This book has stories of different meanings like song of the life facing death is about a boy who wandered off in the woods and faced death then he sang a childrens lullaby he heard as a little boy to soothe the cat and put her guard down, then he kiaied and then the cat and her cubs walked away. The story I really like is the Beast of the Dark Side. This story made me think. It made me think about the beast inside of me and what animal it is and how it fights. This book will help you clear your mind and help you find the inner you...
