I love how I can somewhat relate to this book. This book really explains what it's like to live on a farm. I love how Gary Paulson uses comedy to make this book one of my favorite reads. This book is a great story for all ages who love to read stories that you never know what's going to happen next. This book just always takes a different turn, you never can guess what will happen next. I love how Gary Paulson uses action and comedy to make this book interesting and fun to
Have you ever had a normal day turn into a crazy day just like that? In the beginning of the story Song of the Trees by Mildred D. Taylor, it starts off with the children going out into the forest to go collect their milk and eggs. This story represents that people should stand up for what they believe in.
Analyze the “Happy Cows” campaign that was developed for the California Milk Advisory Board to promote Real California Cheese from an integrated marketing communications perspective. Why do you think the campaign has been so successful?
The expressions that she puts on the animals' faces and Farmer Brown's face are meant to be funny and show the light of the book. She shows many different emotions throughout the book. Overall the color and drawing were very funny and realistic. In this book, Farmer browns cows spend all day typing on a typewriter! As the story moves on, the cows end up leaving Farmer Brown notes demanding items for themselves and their friends. But when Farmer Brown does not answer their demands, they go on strike and type, "no milk, no eggs." Farmer Brown is not happy with what they are asking for but in the end, ends up trading them for the needs they want (electric blanket) in exchange to give him his type writer back. Ages
In this book the tree would be an example of the one who just wants love and acceptance. She loved the boy very much and would do anything to make him happy because that is all that she wanted, the boys happiness. On the other hand the boy was very greedy and knew that the tree loved him and would do anything for him. So he took advantage of that fact and took every last thing from her. The tree didn’t understand how much she was giving up until she had nothing left because she was blinded by her love for the
In his early childhood, a boy spends his time playing with his favorite tree, climbing its trunk, and swinging from its branches. As the boy approaches adolescence, he desires money and the tree yields its apples for him to sell. At adulthood, he yearns for a home and the tree offers its branches for the man to build his home. At middle age, he asks the tree for a boat and the tree offers its trunk, which the man cuts to build his boat. During his final years, the old man asks the tree for a quiet place to sit and rest, and the tree offers its stump.
To start off, the tree really loved the boy a lot, and the tree really spoke her/his mind to the boy,and the tree certainly did not mind giving the boy stuff time and time again and the boy took it for granted without even saying thank you nor did he show appreciation.The Tree was selfless and the boy was selfish.
Andrew Hudgins ironic poem, “The Cow”, draws attention to the unrealistic relationship between a farmer and his animal, by describing the death of a cow. By describing the history of a cow on a farm, Hudgins fools the reader into thinking the narrator is in love with the cow, but takes everything away from the cow in the end, including its life.
Though I concede that the reason for the tree to be preserved is because it is a symbol of the narrator’s family tree, I insist the meaning transcends that, the poem isn’t just about how the tree represents family and the narrator’s willingness to do anything to keep it, but about how holding on too tightly to your history, to your past, can hurt your future. This is a poem about being afraid of change, and about how holding on too tightly a relic of your past, will come to hurt you in the long run. The tree is cast in multiple negative connotations, especially through the first fifteen lines. The tree is shown to hurt more than it helps especially when Oliver explains: “Likely some storm anyway/will churn down its dark boughs,/ smashing the
Click, Clack, Moo Cows that Type” by Doreen Cronin talks about cows and chickens that negotiate to get electric blankets. Even though this is a book intended for children’s entertainment it is believed that there is a deeper meaning than what is superficially understood by the reader. In a reader’s perspective, the farmer represents the authority and the cows and chicken represent workers. Just like the animals, the workers do not have a voice. Thus, once the cows and chickens find the old typewriter in the farm they see it as a way of speaking and a way to gain the empowerment that they have been lacking for a while. This can be seen when the cows first leave a note to protest, when the cows decide to include the hens, and when the hens decide
Have you ever thought about what love means to you? Love is different for everyone. The story I read shows us several different ways of what love is and how to show it. The tree had many different types of love for the boy. In The Giving Tree, Shel Silverstein uses the characters of the tree and the boy to explain the themes of love and happiness.
The little boy was gleeful when it came to the tree. He was fond of playing around it, climbing up its trunk, eating its apples, swinging from its branches, making crowns from its leaves, play hide-and-go seek, and when he got exhausted, he rested under its shade. The boy loved the tree, and the tree was happy. Their relationship was simple. Unconditional love from the tree was visible throughout the whole story. The tree wanted nothing but to plaster a smile on the boy’s face.
This story is true or at least exactly as I remember it. Today, as I begin this book, I am 52 years, 5 months and 6 days old and the perfect Christmas Tree is a gift that I have carried in my since I was four. It has taught me about how unconditional love really feels and reminds me that the simple things we do, not because we want to, but because we love someone makes the world a better place. For the first time I am sharing the whole story with the world. It is a little scary and I have held in my heart for a very long time. And yet, somehow I know now is the time to share it.
If you have ever cared for an animal you know, it is never as easy as it seems. A good deal of time, effort, and money go into taking care of pets and/or livestock properly. While sometimes it feels like a downhill slide, at the end of a long day farmers feel a sense of accomplishment. A good farmer will give any living animal the best life it can live even though we tend to care for each species differently. While horses and cows have many similarities when it comes to appearances, they have many different features that categorize them as equine or bovine.
She would pick me up and set me on her lap to read to me. “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein was always my favorite book to read because when I was little I wanted to be just like the tree who gave to everybody and helped them out. But when I was little, I didn't realized that wasn't what it really meant. When I got older, I figured out it truly shows how much sacrifice is put into those that you love and care for. The tree would give the boy her branches to swing from and apples to sell whenever he needed. When the tree got old, she still stood as a stump for the now, old man to sit on and was happy to see
