contemplation and comparison for a reader to ponder on these issues. The symbol of the blasted oak tree is a recurring image. Before Frankenstein leaves for university, Shelley introduces the great oak tree. This sets the stage for his potential development. The largely self-educated Frankenstein is only beginning his pursuit of knowledge. During a storm, the oak tree is struck by lightning. Frankenstein narrates, “…the oak had disappeared, and nothing remained but a blasted stump…It was not splintered by shock

Winter would come soon, so I was looking for acorns under my favorite oak tree, it was over by where my life long friends live and it has the best acorns. Most squirrels think they taste the same, but in reality, these brown treats taste best when they are from old trees. New trees have hard acorns and it is difficult to taste anything but wood.

“You see that buck over there Itawamba?,” his father Piominko asked “wait for it to look up.” Piominko added. “3… 2… 1…” As soon as Piominko gave him the green light, Itawamba had released the arrow in his bow aimed at his next meal. He arrived at his wigwam with his deer on his, and his father’s shoulders. He had been learning how to hunt for a month and had been able to get a deer for supper. “I got one, I got one!” Itawamba proudly exclaimed as he ran to his friend’s wigwam. “Is it

The village of Baroque, a once quaint area in the northern woodlands, has been going through years of turmoil. Crops failing for different reasons, surviving a disease and having birds found dead all through the wooded surroundings. In the center of it all, Klara and her family did their best to withstand the unfortunate ordeal plaguing their little town. Klara had always been thin growing up, a by-product of the lack of food, that did not stop her mind from growing. Even with the only formal education

This species produces an abundance of seeds an acorn that serve as a food source for many of this biomes animals. Expansion of the red oak tree is assured as the droppings of animals feeding on the plentiful acorns, supplied by the oak, are spread throughout the biome.

year 7 and two oak trees each year (refer back to Figure 1 to see). In addition, field mice tried to take shelter in a nearby residence where they were eaten by cat, poisoned and encountered mouse traps. Then, roadways needed to be made, trees and grassland were removed twice, and neighborhood cats ate one red-headed woodpecker, cottontail rabbit, black rat snake, and field mouse. Also, the ecosystem experienced a dry day, a brush fire, and acid rain. The acid rain killed three oak trees and killed

My instincts tell me to go to the tree, so I do. I arrive and the white oak stands tall before me. I turn around and suddenly I’m in a jungle filled with giant mushroom trees and purple plantation. Suddenly a mysterious woman

A Day in the Forest It was a calm, overcast day, and I found myself resting at the side of a large oak tree, admiring the beauty of the woods that surrounded me. The sunless sky covered the woods over the treetops which created a canopy over my head. The crimson and auburn foliage was a magnificent sight, as this was the season known as Fall. There was a gentle breeze, creating the single sound of rustling leaves. The leaves appeared as though they were dying to fall out of the
