What Is The Theme Of The Giving Tree By Shel Silverstein

The tree would take care of the boy. When the boy would come each time to ask for something the tree was willing to give anything

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 the novel, Speak by Laurie Anderson, A Tree is a symbolism that represents Melinda's current moods and thoughts throughout the scenarios in the story. The main character traits of this story are Melinda's thoughts, emotions, and reactions to high school and within the people in it.

The tree represents Gene’s growth in maturity and age from being a teenager who is frightened by the magnitude of the tree to an adult who looks at it as unthreatening and small. Whilst revisiting the tree as an adult, Gene utters that the tree reminds him of the enemies of childhood that, once faced again, seem insignificant (14). When Gene is reflecting upon the first time he jumped off of the tree, he states the tree “flooded [Gene] with a sensation of alarm all the

Happy endings almost always occur at the end of a traditional fairy-tale. Through reuniting the child with his mother and most importantly, his father, Into the Forest embraces the common need for a positive and uplifting ending. This is like

“He’s not chopping it down. He’s saving it. Those branches were long dead from a disease. All plants are like that. By cutting off the damage, you make it possible for the tree to grow again. You watch—by the end of summer, this tree will be the strongest on the block” (187). Melinda’s disease to an unhealthy tree was the silence of the rape. Melinda holding in the dreadful memory without telling anyone, kept her from becoming the tree she wanted to draw. Like removing the sick branches off to keep the tree healthy, Melinda had to speak up about the trauma. Once Melinda stood up for herself, the tree, which is actually her, can grow to its full

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.

This bittersweet story is about a young boy and a tree that loved the little boy very much. As this story go on, we see the little boy grow up and wanting more and more from the tree than a climb or a couple of apples. The tree gives and gives till she cannot give any more.

If you really knew me, you would know that I am ever so lucky to have my mom. I have a mother who cares about me, supports me, makes sacrifices for me, and constantly does what she can to help me. If it wasn’t for my mom I don’t know where I would be. I couldn’t ever put into words how thankful I am for her. My mom is as strong as Hercules. She is a single mom and I admire her for all the strength she has. She does it all by herself. I know it is stressful on her sometimes, but somehow she stays positive and calm as a peaceful sleep. I have great respect for my mom. I’ll admit my mom is a thorn in my side sometimes, but I love her and could not live without her.

The boy on the other hand is like us, the children who are used to receiving and receiving, so much that we take it for granted, so sometimes, we tend to forget to think about the tree or our parents.

My mother's heart is at its purest when giving. I witnessed my mother chip in and pay
