America
America, our great country, is strong, powerful, and influential. Americans exemplify positive values, selflessness, hospitality, and the American way of life. The oak tree that stands stronger and taller than all others best represents this grand country. Each part of the tree illustrates a way of our nation.

It gives protection to the squirrels and birds from the harsh conditions of the environment. Our country is one that encourages religious freedom without persecution for all ethnicity's alike. Also, the hole provides the animals a space to be free and live a life they choose. In America, once a person becomes a citizen he/she is free to be whomever they want and do anything within lawful reason, creating a higher quality of life for them. The hole provides a starting point for the animals, from which they can grow and move on.
