One Tree Hill

Could you imagine a world where a tree gives you whatever you need or want? In the book the Giving Tree, Shel Silverstien, the author, writes about a boy and his relationship with a tree. The two started to be friends when the boy was little. The tree has a personality and wants the boy to be happy. Shel Silverstien uses personification by treating the tree in the story as a mother figure to the boy. In the beginning of the story the boy is happy with what the tree offers. He plays with…

produced a trophic cascade, where a higher level of food chain affects a lower one. This cascade began by the wolves causing elk (Cervus elaphus) removal and relocation and led to trees quintupling in size. Seeing the positive effects wolves had on trees, more national parks and states began facilitating this natural ecology management. By initiating a wolf presence in certain areas, a trophic cascade occurs and thus allows for tree recruitment and renewal. Yellowstone is not the only park to…

and easy for them to break apart. Food wasn’t a problem for them. They could easily pick off insects from leaves or pluck them out from the soil. Food was abundant and varied. Because of the accessibility of food, the robins had no special advantage one over the other, and with no competition there was no need for special advantage. After two years, “Deforestation, Inc.” cut down all the trees and plants in the area and scraped the topsoil off the whole region. When they left, the island was…

There are two different types of Christmas trees you can get during the holidays. There is a fake tree and a real tree. The fake tree is made up of plastic pine needles and it has a stand. The real one’s are natural and are from the wilderness. Some people would consider real trees because they are nicer, but the fake trees should be the best choice. The fake trees are cheaper than the real ones. The fake trees are also good because we need the real trees. The real trees give us many things.…

My heart was racing, my eyes were huge, the words coming out of my mouth were not making any sense, I was stuttering over and over again. There's a truck suspended from the mountain, a tree is holding it up, it looked like it was from lifetime ago. Suddenly the sounds of the waterfall snap me back to reality and I know that I am getting closer and closer to the breathtaking beauty that is known as Amicalola…

A mighty Oak. It’s limbs towered above the clouds and held itself above us like a giant. It was as broad as molasses and substantial like diamonds. Engraved on it was the word Friendship. “Stupid, stupid tree!” I thought. “You aren’t friendship. Your hatred and enmity!” Before Enonya even knew what hit her I screeched “Sorry!” As I was saying this a flock of crows flew out of the trees. They knew something was erroneous. Soon after she responded with an…

(875 words) Woolly Days ahead for the Hemlock Tree -Angela Cannon-Crothers I like bugs, ask anyone. I am awed by the mechanics of their life cycles, the biodiversity of the entire Order of Insecta, the magical beauty of so many of their kind. But there are a few that strike more than a few heebe-geebes -- some are downright frightening. Take the tiny hemlock wooly adelgid (ah-del-jid) for instance: a needle sucking scale insect of miniscule proportions that reproduces asexually (no male…

population of Ents (tree beasts) that inhabited trees. They could move through trees, and would protect a forest at any cost. They were huge, about the size of a large oak, and took on the form of whatever tree they were currently inhabiting. As soon as a Ent moved into a tree, the tree could move as the Ent it. Therefore, if there was a nearby forest, an attack from Ents was almost impossible to defend from, even if there were two or three Ents. Ents came in a variety of species, one for…
