It’s possible that my parents may not have believed in letting us think there was such things as an Easter Bunny and…

Hamilton states that the island was initially inhabited Polynesians, who were sailing eastward.

Dr. Seuss's the Lorax and Easter island. There are three things I will be comparing they environmental damage, animal species extinct and human destruction.The first topic I will be talking about is environmental damage. I think the biggest environmental damage at both places is deforestation.
