Trees Are A Stable Source Of Life On Earth

Superior Essays
Trees are a stable source of life for everyone on Earth. Unbeknownst to many, their lively roots have entwined for eighty thousand years beneath our feet, unnoticed and nearly impossible to destroy. Possessing an intricate weave, they are alike to the towering poles with twisted wires that line the streets. They are jigsaw pieces in the puzzle of land, necessary to complete the picture but unthought of as individuals; going without a few pieces slightly impacts the likeness, but after a certain amount of disappearance, the alluring image becomes extinct. When we assume that trees are apathetic resources made for exploitation, but they have the balance of life fully integrated into a neural system of divergent connections. After more seasons in their life than the average human has days, the possibilities that are …show more content…
We spend our lives inevitably seeking each other’s approval, and using any available method to maintain a symbiotic bond. Only a slight minority consciously realize the extent of which we rely on one another, and vice versa. This need is yet another example of the predictability of us as a society. Involuntary exile is a special kind of torture that preys on our need for companionship. In the movie, Jake was ostracized as an “Outcast. Betrayer. Alien.”, and began to realize that he “needed their help and they needed [his]” (Cameron, Avatar). In essence, we are social beings; even from birth we rely on our caregivers to teach us the ways of the world. Without exposure to other humans, we would perish. The need for contact isn’t pure necessity; it also enhances our quality of life. The human on average can maintain about one hundred close and secure relationships. Scientifically, the more relationships that you can preserve, the more sizable your brain is, because every relationship you have causes your brain to see life in a new

    We were once a communal species, hunting, gathering, and foraging for the benefit of ourselves and those around us. Although we moved away from a society formed on the mutual needs for survival we continue the practice of asking our neighbors for help when we are knees deep in a cookie recipe, stranded without eggs. However even this once commonplace practice of neighborly interaction is developing into a thing of the past, a mindset derived on mutual need has devolved into one centered solely on each individual. Our “We” mentality has been transfigured into a mindset precariously fixated on “me and mine”. As technology continues to develop, we dive deeper into the abyss of apathetic behavior, favoring a conversation through text than face to face human interaction, or liking a picture of a newborn on Facebook instead of holding that newborn in person.…

Bernard’s exile was more of an exclusion of himself. He felt unique, something that was looked down upon in this novel. He wasn’t the same as everyone in his class.…

    In Zora Neale Hurston’s book, Their Eyes Were Watching God, she uses a lot of symbolism and references to nature through the story of the main character, Janie, in her lifetime.

Dawn and doom was in the branches” (8) In the beginning of the book, we understand that Janie has just been on a journey full of wonderful and terrible things. When Janie arrives home from her journey, her friend Pheoby goes to Janie’s house and Janie begins telling her life story to her friend whom she hasn’t seen in a long time.…

    Exile is defined by Edward Said as “the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place.” He further describes exile as “essential sadness that can never be surmounted” but also “a potent, even enriching experience.” This juxtaposition of descriptions captures the unpredictability of the outcomes of things in life, even traumatic ones such as exile. No matter how horrific things get, there can always be a possibility of happiness from the pain. In Huxley’s Brave New World, exile is a very important central theme.…
