Not everyone is beautiful. I am tired of hearing that. But everyone has the ability to be. A person is as beautiful as the things they do, the words they say and the intentions of their heart. Physical appearance is not a synonym of beauty. The shape of one’s face or the curve of one’s hips are not qualified factors when discussing this term. Beauty cannot be seen at first glance. Someone's experiences and outlook on life shape them not only intellectually but also physically. There is no better way to describe beauty than the characteristics that cannot be perceived by the naked eye.
When describing an attractive person, humans often use the adjective “hot”. The definitions of “hot” and beautiful contradict each other. Picture this; a vibrant sunset consisting of the most pleasing colors has just taken place. Those who were lucky enough to witness this are more likely to say “that was such a beautiful sunset!” in contrast to “that was such a hot sunset!”. Nature is referred to as beautiful because of its

I asked my mother one day if there was any particular reason she picked this piece of literature. Although the words were well over my reading comprehension at the age range of under a year, she replied with the reasoning that this strong message the book portrays can be seen through its’ illustrations. In this book, a tree gives up everything in order to ensure the boy dwelling near her has everything his needs. When she finally has no more left but the stump of her trunk she can finally rest knowing the boy is safe. “And she loved the little boy very, very much- even more than she loved herself” (Silverstein 17). This tree is a perfect example of beauty. She was sacrificing her leaves, branches and trunk all for little return. The good intentions of her heart are a lesson that I’m glad my mother taught me at a young age. Beauty is embedded in those who give more than they
The act of unconditional giving is an attribute that many cultures hold up as the highest form of love. The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein, is a classic childhood book that illustrates the selfless act of unconditional giving which manifests as unconditional love, between a tree and a boy. Giving by the tree, to the boy, begins in the boy's childhood and continues on until he is an old man. This story is representative of the relationship between mother and child.
Ultimately people will compare themselves to others because that the way we are; now they should not let that interfere with the definition of beauty. Have courage to be unique, stand out no matter what others think. Carlin explains that sometimes being physically beautiful has its benefits but that isn’t the only way people will remember someone. People should not fear the way they look and judge themselves to hard because to someone else see’s beauty in them.
Who takes care of you? Your mother, father, grandma, grandfather, etc. Your guardians will do whatever it takes to keep you safe, fed, clothed because you are their first priority in any situation whatsoever. As kids you can be blinded by how much your parents do for you. In The Giving Tree, Shel silverstein uses personification to show the relationship between a mother and son.
There are a lot of books that explain us about life and make us think about it such as, what make us happy or what we want at the moment. For example, there is a book for kids and teengaers called “The Giving Tree” that describes the love of a tree towards a boy. In the story the tree gives everything that she has to the boy to make him happy because she loves him. At the end of the story the reader is going to ask himself/herself about some lessons that she/he learned from the book and the sad story of the tree.
The title of my book is The Giving Tree, written by Shel Silverstein. 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 way or form other than being a forest, probably because the author wants the reader to focus on the deeper meaning of the book, therefore giving the book an easy and plain setting.
Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree” written in the 1960’s, is a short illustrated story that is cherished dearly by children and admired by adults (Kimmel 1). The Giving Tree is about the relationship between a loving apple tree and a playful little boy, which represents the relationship between a parent and child; however, the reader is able to decipher a much deeper meaning by looking at the story closely. Moreover, Silverstein uses the characters in “The Giving Tree” to demonstrate the parents’ unconditional love for their children; the lively apple tree portrays how giving a person too much support can hinder them from attaining full independence, and also shows how unconditional love can be damaging both psychologically and physical.
"Jamie your hair is so beautiful." "Jamie your eyes are gorgeous!" Initially, everyone always looks at appearance when it comes to "beauty", when in reality it's not so much about the looks. Everyone perceives beauty differently and what's "beautiful" to one-person, other people could find it "hideous". Beauty is not just about the appearance of someone, it's also about the way he or she functions.
The definition of beauty is varying among different people in the world. Even though almost everyone knows the term beauty, many people are struggling in defining it and persuading others to agree with their opinions. Beauty is defined by a combination of qualities existent in a person or thing that fulfills the aesthetic feels or brings about profound gratification. Many people define beauty as a term to describe a person’s physical appearance; they often think that beauty comes from magazines, video girls, or even models. Although the term beauty can define a person’s physical appearance, true beauty lies in the way one acts and thinks rather than the way one look.
There is a saying “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” What one individual considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. Many people in this world have their own definition of what beauty is. Beauty can come from inside or the outside. To me, beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes. Beauty is a quality that pleases or delights the senses or mind. Unfortunately, society makes it nearly impossible to see our own beauty. Most girls are inclined to take a quick look into a compact mirror or run a few fingers through their hair, sizing themselves up with the nearest advertisement featuring a flawless bottle blonde. Some may go a bit further, running an endless list of insecurities
Across the globe, few people have difficulty recognizing someone who is considered beautiful. Beauty is often sought after, revered, and sometimes interpreted as a personal virtue. Standards of beauty are usually social marker determining cultural status, social acceptance and suitability as a mate.
Beauty can be seen by a person in several ways, and it is perceived by most to be only skin-deep. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “It is the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.” Additionally, the definition from the Oxford Dictionary says, “Beauty is a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.” In short, beauty is described as something attractive and likeable to the eyes. Nonetheless, beauty should not be seen on a physical level, but it should also encompass a person’s character. To further elaborate and understand beauty, one should know how the media perceives beauty towards
There are so many different opinions on what beauty is. The idea of beauty is purely opinionated. Beauty is your own idea, skinny or thick, long hair or short hair, light skin or dark skin. How people define beauty is unique in many different ways everyone has a different opinion. No ones idea of beauty is the same. In society today it has become more materialistic based if you wear the latest designer or you have the newest pair of sneakers out and the true meaning of being beautiful has escaped our souls. Beauty is not just what we see on the outside it is so much deeper then what we see its what we also have to offer on the inside.Your intelligence is beauty your mind, body, and soul. Beauty is not a single image, but the active embodiment
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” This saying first appeared in the 3rd century BC in Greek. It didn't appear in its current form in print until the 19th century, but in the meantime there were various written forms that expressed much the same thought. This famous saying implies that everyone has their own definition and recognition of beauty. What is seen as a marvel to one person might be the complete opposite to another, just like a dress that I found very beautiful but my Mum found it not at all nice which explains the saying “One man’s garbage is another man’s treasurer” (Aighearach).Beauty… some people believe that beauty is all physical, having great looks, having all the guys and girls fawning all over you because you are the hottest bloke or chick in the school or wherever you are. Some people believe that beauty is the clothes you wear, the make-up you put on. I say those things are just physical beauty. Inner beauty is of the heart, it’s the person you are, you actions and reactions to other people, your way of life. Inner beauty is the beauty of the heart, being selfless, reliable, loving and caring and always willing to help even if you don’t know the person. Real beauty is about always being willing to assist anyone even if there is nothing in it for you except the pure pleasure of seeing satisfaction, content on the other person’s face, that person has inner beauty. It represents goodwill and kindness.
How do you judge if someone is beautiful for the first time you see them? By physical appearance is the most popular answer you may find. To the majority of people, beauty is solely depended on how a person look like on the outside. However, some might argue that inner beauty has to do more than outer appearance. It is difficult to fully define beauty because everyone has their own views about beauty. In my view, beauty has to deal with one’s self as the only rival.
Physical beauty is merely an illusion of who someone’s true self and is always noticed first. There are countless examples of people being beautiful with a nice body yet a terrible person inside. When someone looks at a physically beautiful person, they often think of them as friendly and caring because their physical beauty is giving off an illusion to others. Although physical beauty is an illusion, people are attracted to physically beautiful people. When someone we think is attractive walks into the room, we are drawn toward them. However, this is only superficial because once you talk to a physically beautiful person and they are unkind, unwelcoming, and only worried about their appearance, most people do not want to be around them.
