The Giving Tree and The Seven Ages of Man both describe the stages of life and how a man does or not change over his lifetime. The stores use symbolism to bring their point across to the reader, and illustrate with dialogue or description.

He called it his Greenwood tree, a tall white pine that towered above his neighborhood across from the railroad tracks. The town wanted to cut it down, but he wouldn’t hear of it.

He was the fourteenth child in his family and durning his long life he had worked as a locksmith, a tailor, a barber, an artist, a coal
She cringed as his body is slammed into a pair of boulders jutting out in the middle of the river, wedging him between them. Merryn has the horse stand by a tree that is jutting out over the fissure ahead of the boulders. Quickly reaching into her packs for a rope, and tying it around the tree, she ties the other end to the horse saddle. Parcival tries to help her, but is shaking too hard, and slumps back down. "It's all right, just concentrate on staying awake." Grabbing the rope, she quickly

It also has over ten thousand uses including paper, fuel, food, clothing, and many more. So why aren’t we using hemp instead of trees
think kids are strong enough to help plant fruit trees. You'd be right if you were thinking all there is for the kids to do is place the tree into the hole. Even though the trees might be too big and bulky for the kids to haul around, they're probably better at digging holes than you are. Give them a shovel and let them dig their little hearts out. After the tree is settled into its new resting place, let the kids water it. Spreading mulch is usually part of many landscaping projects. Teach the kids

was the last thing I wanted. An escape is what I so desperately longed for and looked for that night, and I think I found it. Buzzing insects and a slight breeze rustling the leaves of an ancient tree only added to the lonesome melody the earth played for me. A large scar where lightening had struck the tree had left part of the trunk burnt to a crisp black, and yet it showed no signs of dying anytime soon. But all too soon I was yanked out of my daydreams, by the illuminated window, casting its mechanical

When I grow up, I want to be a black gum tree. Black gum trees are known for their internal strength. Instead of dwelling on outward beauty, they spend more time focusing on their inner growth and developing their core.

The story takes place in a forest, where a little boy visits the tree throughout his life, asking the tree for materials he needs as he grows older. The tree gives and gives until he is of only a trunk, and can not give the boy who has grown to an old man nothing but a trunk to sit on. The boy gladly takes the offer to sit on the trunk as he is too old to play, climb or do anything else but rest. The place is not described in any
