    above. Wriggling and writhing with the pain of their own existence. Flashing once, twice, three times, polished and glossy like the cold prongs of the apocalypse. Shaking myself from my weather-caused trance, I hurry for shelter under a nearby fern tree. Staring deep into the blackness of the storm I wonder whether I will ever see that bliss-blue appearance

    importance and purpose of tree inventories. One of the first things that Kim talked about was that not only does she work with trees, she also works with people. She gave us an example of a tree in Chapman that had been affected by the tornado that went through the town. She showed us a picture of the tree and told us that the people who lived near this tree loved it. She also pointed out in the picture a sign that said “Please don’t cut down this tree… we love this tree”. This really hit me when

    The wind whistled through the trees, like voices whispering in your ear. The old crab apples were like hands sprouting from the ground, reaching toward the sky that was just out of reach. The itself sky was pitch black, a yawning abyss of emptiness. The cobbled path stretched onward, twisting and turning, only to finally stop at an old, victorian style mansion. The mansion would have been beautiful with its curved turrets and decorative trim, Its wide open windows, and open porch. But now the windows

    Separate Peace, there is a particular tree that encompasses more meaning than just vegetation around a body of water. Aptly named the Suicide Tree, Devon schoolboys proved their manliness by jumping into the lake. During the Summer Session, it evolves into something more than a proving ground. The symbol of the Suicide Tree in A Separate Peace by John Knowles means the end of childhood, as evident by textual evidence, and alluded to through literary clues. The Suicide Tree means the end of childhood and

    theme. Themes are everywhere and used in everything. Some people call them messages or the secret meaning/ purpose of writing something. In a Tree grows in Brooklyn you can find many themes in the book like never give up on education and money isn’t everything, however I like to think differently and creatively. To start off, I think the theme of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is that even when it's hard, you always know the direction you want and need to go to get back on track. Betty Smith writes so

    When the book open up with the sentence: “Small trees had attacked my parents' house at the foundation” not only does the Joe mean the foundation of his house but also with his family. It's hard work removing of each new tree requiring 'its own singular strategy, but it's also frustrating. Joe and his father's imperfect tools make it impossible to remove all of them effectively, while if they leave them, it only creates ''convenient holes in the mortar for next year's seedlings.’’ After working on

    Apple: The apple represents the first time Jonas experienced “seeing beyond”. I also feel like an apple describes this community perfectly. On the outside it looks perfect, however once you start to look closer you will realize it’s not as perfect as it seems. You may notice some bruises, rotten spots and some other imperfections once you start to look closer. Pill: The pill represents the stopping of stirrings. Stirrings is a word that we know as puberty.

    The cotton fields were a vibrant orange color in the dark, starry night. I stared upon the burning fields as my bloodshot eyes began to sting. The smoke rose up into the night and disappeared making the air thick and oily. The burnt smell rushed up my nose making me gasp for breath. With only a piece of hard bread in my hand I hoped to make it to the north. My only guide was the bright North star hovering above me like an angel. I glanced down at my dress, dirty and torn, and then at my bare feet

I amble around the boundary of the pond, looking in every nook and cranny, all I find is a dead pearl white rabbit and a few rotten bones and coins. I sit in the mauled root of the shrinking willow tree that I tripped over previously; as I sit there I feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier. My head throbs with pain, there is no comparison possible in the world. I take the rose away from my chest: to see only one petal left. I now understand that
