likely would not, so how come this “tree” in the Giving Tree did? Was it because she was naturally selfless? Or because she was so in love with the boy she would give anything she had to him simply because he wanted it?

This easy to remember book has been embedded in my memory from the first time I read it in elementary. The Giving Tree was about the relationship between a boy and a tree that was personified as a woman. In the beginning the tree and the

Social Criticism “The Giving Tree” critiques children who take maternal figures for granted. The story implicitly shows the tree to be a mother-like figure for the boy. Her love for the little boy is unconditional and knows no bounds as she makes sacrifice after sacrifice to satisfy the boy who slowly grows up in front of her. In the beginning of the story the love the two characters feel for each other is comparable, but as the boy grows up the values of what dictates his happiness changes and

"The Given Tree", a tender story of unconditional love, or disturbing tale of selfishness? The story is about a boy that grows up and asks the tree for things and as the tree gives the boy the things, the tree stays happy. Unconditional love is when you love somebody no matter what, on the other hand selfishness is when you don't care about anybody else except yourself.

hypothesized that the variations in community ecology would influence other variables, and the tree species surviving in that space. However, we found that the p-values for each variable we tested against each other, moisture vs. pH, moisture vs. organic horizon, and pH vs. organic horizon, were not significant values, rejecting our null hypothesis. These findings at Ohill show the influence each variable has on the tree relative frequency and basal area. Understanding the various environmental conditions

Brazil's Development Without Long Term Damage to the Amazon Introduction As part of this essay I will be discussing the issues involved with Brazil’s Amazon rainforest and how they as a country can use the rainforests resources for their development, without impairing the ability to use those resources in the future.

lips began to move. I began setting rules such as everybody needs to help each other, they need to be fair and not greedy with the food or resources, everybody needs to help on any project that we do to get rescued. You cannot go past the tenth apple tree until we run out of food and lastly if any of the rules are broken you will not be able to have any food for the day. As I slowly moved my head in a clockwise direction I saw their faces filled with shock but as they began discussing these rules to

It seems that when night falls, the mind appears to go into a state of panic. Nighttime brings to mind many horror movies scenario. Well they do when you’re in the middle of nowhere, with a couple of friends and a machete. At least in my mind that’s what happened. A state of pure terror seems to sink in, and I believe the worst scenario that a random stranger is coming inside my tent and slaughtering me while I’m asleep. To begin with, when the day started, it seemed that the scenery was beautiful
