Pleased, Grand Pine Tree said, “You are the first tree to ask me this personal question. It may appear that way, but I believe you will understand what I am about to share with you. There comes a time when each ornamental tree chooses to plant its roots into the ground. The tree no longer needs to roam around looking for answers because the answers are all found within oneself,” Grand Pine Tree paused, to allow Robust Pine Tree to consider his last statement. “As trees plant roots down into the ground, other trees begin to search them out because of the trees' sure foundation, which means their roots are steady and unmovable. Their light shines to all those around. It is an honor to share their gained wisdom with other interested …show more content…

He gives stories such as how the owner gave away the priceless bonsai tree to the enemy that had bombed. He then gives some stories about how the curator of the bonsai organization has to take care of that tree. The curator must take special care of the tree, because the tree is irreplaceable. Art however can be copied onto another canvas or even on a sheet of paper but that tree can never be regrown. He tells of a story about Moses Weisberg, who was riding his bike until he came upon the tree in Washington. At that time the tree was located in National Arboretum in Washington. The use of anecdotes was well used in the article to give relatable stories of how the bonsai plant came to

During the kickoff scene, the origin of the tree being a symbol is starting. Melinda has started her art period. Her teacher, Mr. Freeman, has assigned the class to recreate their chosen object and apply emotion. Melinda chose 'tree.' “He stops by my table. I plunge my hand into the bottom of the globe and fish out my paper. “Tree.” Tree? It’s too easy.” (12) Melinda does not have confidence that this will challenge her. In her mind, a tree isn’t exactly exhilarating.
Sugar pines are found in a variety of places including moist, steep, north, east and south facing slopes. They tend to like deep, well drained soils that have a slight to neutral acidic level. While these trees can and do grow on steep and rugged land, the best growth occurs on gentle terrain at middle elevations in sandy to clay-like soils. These sugar pines grow from sea level up to a maximum of about 10,000 feet. The ele...
To some an acorn is just an acorn, nothing more than a nut. The acorn with its tough leathery outside and rich amber color signifies nothing more than the commencement of autumn. To others it represents a great deal of potential. This tiny seed has the ability to endure many adverse effects including long periods of cold temperatures, drought, and human interference. The fragile acorn contains all the necessary elements to become the giant, majestic oak that has come to signify strength. When the conditions are favorable, the little nut will thrive and become an impressive adult tree providing oxygen and shade as nature intended. The most important factor to the budding tree is the environment. Like all other living things, the acorn needs care and ideal circumstances to develop properly. This is also true for humans and their offspring. Creating the perfect environment for an infant to flourish is quite possibly, the single most important factor to the success of a well-adjusted, adult human.
Analysis: This setting shows in detail a location which is directly tied to the author. He remembers the tree in such detail because this was the place were the main conflict in his life took place.
Creativity is a very significant part of who she is. It always has been, and always will be. Kianna is a very artistically-inclined person, for she enjoys dance, music, art, and design. When she was about 7 years old, she constructed a table-top pinball machine. Using cardboard, tape, and whatever could be found lying around the house, she finished it before her mother woke up that morning. It was a last-minute gift for her mother’s birthday, and though it did not work...
This is first introduced when the Maitu Seed (Mother Seed or “Our Truth”) is shown and while Asha is dreaming about a tree growing in the desert (Pumzi 0:44). This scene however, granted the Maitu Seed an important role in the movie. This theme was introduced again when Asha got to her lab and the branch of the last living tree was on display with the title “There Goes the Last Tree” (Pumzi 4:05). This was a dead giveaway that deforestation plays a major role in the development of the story. It demonstrated the importance of trees as well.
Ah, to be a kid again. How wonderful it would be to relive the magic of Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I have always been a kid at heart and a true lover of Christmas. But as we get older and we realize that Santa Claus and the North Pole were just stories our parents told us so we’d behave, Christmas starts to lose that magical feeling. No matter how much we might still love it, Christmastime just isn’t the same as when we were young. And at a time of all the aggravating shopping hustle and bustle, dents in the pockets, headaches, traffic jams and long lines, I begin to realize that God has sent me the most magical Christmas gift of all, a beautiful three year old whom I can relive Christmas in all over. Through my child’s eyes, I see myself each time his face lights up at the sight of Santa, and I feel his anticipation each morning as he faithfully opens up one more window on the Christmas calendar. Tonight, as we decorate the tree, I admiringly watched his tiny fingers delicately place each of the ornaments on all the same branches until they drooped to the floor. So proud of his work, I secretly placed some elsewhere, as to not hurt his feelings, and wondered how many times my own mother had done the same thing. And after a long day of shopping and excitement, I watched his eyelids begin to droop while lying underneath the warm glow of the Christmas tree lights.

In “The Tree,” the speaker talks to a tree and express thanks for its “delightful shade” (1). The speaker goes on to talk of the others who benefited from the existence of the tree and gave it something back in return, such as the birds singing, travelers praising it’s welcome shade, and nymphs making crowns from its blooms. The speaker wonders what she can do to repay the shade given her by the tree. She decides to wish something for the tree’s future. She wishes, “To future ages may’st thou stand / Untouch’d by the rash workman’s hand” (19 – 20). Ultimately, she wishes something such as “some bright hearth” (32) be made from the tree at its death.

First, a tree begins life as a tiny seed embedded in the Earth, but with time and nourishment it grows. I too, started life as a small sapling and continued to grow. Along with growth, roots begin to develop. Roots are essential for a tree’s survival. They provide the tree with nutrients in order for it to survive, just as my mother provided me with nutrients and instilled in me skills I use today. The development of roots requires time and dedication. The tree must be exposed to sunlight and water. Sunlight gives the tree energy, and water saturates the roots forming them deeply. Deeply formed roots are able to stand throughout all the effects and actions of nature/environment. My roots are my faith and my mother. Simply having a relationship with Christ stimulates root growth. The full development of my roots occurs when I have devoted my time to saturate them by studying His word and dep...
