Blog 3: A White Heron

Sylvia felt a connection with the white heron because she's closer with nature than she is with actual humans. Her and the bird are very close because they both want the same thing and freedom, and they both are by themselves. In her relationships with other people, she's disconnected from them because she isn't good with communicating. Her cow and the white heron are her best friends because they're alike in ways, and connect with each other from the things they have in common. 

Sylvia tries to stay true to herself and to the white heron in the end because he doesn't tell the guy the secret of the bird. Freedom symbolizes, in this story, that you have to find it yourself and be true to yourself always.
