that give the things or items will be even more happier. The main idea of the book is giving but it is okay if you don’t always give. You can receive things to but it is whatever that makes you happy. But the person asking for the things can get greedy. The boy in the giving tree would get everything he wanted from the tree but the tree was happy but he is asking for so much that he is turning into a greedy person. The boy asked for money, a house, a boat and the tree just gave him the things he needed to make the boat or house and the tree gave him apples to make money. All of these examples lead up to one of the themes. The boy is starting to get greedy but the tree is just happy to be there for the boy. When the boy goes and cuts her trunk the tree says " that she is happy but not really" she isn't happy because he took everything she had. All of this leads back to the thesis; it is better to give than receive and you will be happy if you give. In this paragraph the topic is greed.

When thinking of a tree, it is easy to imagine a strong plant, established firmly into the soil, with a thick substantial trunk and vast outreaching branches. However, what does not typically come to mind is a scrawny seedling, with its new roots hardly ingrained into the soil. One with a toothpick of a trunk that is struggling to support itself. The fact of the matter is that every tremendous tree started as a measly sapling, but not every sapling is able to grow into a tree. The forest can be…

Malicious A twisted tree trunk protrudes out of the silt like earth, covered in crude knots and lanky dead branches; the trunk hovers over the small stretch of land it sits upon. The rough, callous bark of the foreboding tree a dark hazel splattered with sections of sunken grooves. A shadow casts upon the intruding tree, darkening the bottom section of the once splendid trunk to a sinister shade of black. The upper top half on the trunk splintered, as if its own structure and size had betrayed…

because of the constant shade. For Diego, though, he prefered the steady beat of heat on his back. Diego stayed motionless for some time, hidden in a clump of light green leaves. Gradually, he slithered out beyond the vegetation, and looked out upon the thick, green tree canopy. He breathed in the moist air. He was deeply relieved, for Pablo must still be asleep.
