All the other leaves on my tree say their parents told them that late autumn is the best time of year because you get to jump off this tree and land in the soft green grass below us; however, I disagree with them. I don’t think jumping is a good idea. Overall, what happens if you get hurt? Or if the cold wind blows…

course of a growing season or life. In Walt Whitman's poem, Come Up From the Fields Father, Foster's characteristics of autumn are found to be true.
