The boy "nurtures" the seed with love and affection and the tree does the same. One day, the boy "meets a girl" and suddenly he has no time for the tree and instead prefers to be with his girlfriend - later becoming his wife.

rest of their lives. You have to wonder what people are thinking and where the friends are at times like these. If any of my friends are reading this post, please talk some sense into me if I 'm ever making a huge mistake like this one day. 1 Michael Jackson leaving us could be one of the greatest tragedies of the decade as far as deaths go.

The first time I watched the film was shortly after it came out in 2013. I was sitting in my family room with my two friends who had seen it before and had strong…

Of the many demonstrated, the universal theme of struggle is clearly evident through the play and The Drawer Boy would not be the same without this important element. The theme of struggle and…
