I have traveled from Australia to Europe and seen many sights of which are indescribable and unknown in the United States but they haven’t been able to capture the unique beauty of my backyard.

In the beginning stages of the novel the world is beautiful and simple for children like Francie and Neely. A world where many of the poor children who live in the Brooklyn slums aren’t aware of their dismal predicaments and scrape by with blissful ignorance.

The willow tree to the right of the red brick house was also a place that we made our own. The long, slender branches made soft music when the cool wind swept through them. Although these branches were weak, we constantly swung from branch to branch like wild monkeys. Sitting within the farthest boundaries of the tree, we would argue over what we wanted to play and which part each of us would have. When we would finally figure it out, it would be getting dark and we could hear the voice of my grandma faintly calling us to come in.
