Introduction paragraph: how does this story teach us about interactions of humans and nature

Nature is a major, dominant, and overarching theme in the novel “Frightful’s Mountain” by Jean Craighead George. Nature, thematically, is the natural world and the wild without man’s presence, influence, or interference. Much of the novel’s take on nature revolves primarily around the character of Frightful, a peregrine falcon who seems to straddle both the world of nature and the world of man. Indeed, her domesticated upbringing and nurturing by Sam are often in conflict with her natural instincts and inclinations. At the same time, the world of man consistently borders on the world of nature, and vice versa.
