The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

[Silvia Sianto]

The tree gives everything to the boy but the boy abuses the relationship. And at the end of the book when the boy sits on the tree stump - he still has not learned his lesson. I think the book shows greed.

This book teaches such wonderful character traits. The tree gives and gives and gives no matter what is going on in the boy's life. He form a relationship with the boy and it always there to give him what he needs. I believe the author is not only portraying this idea, but also the idea of the bounty nature has to offer. Silverstein has written other poems and short works which also portray this theme.

Sounds truly amazing . I loved this review its inspiring. I'm 30 so let me go for it and see how it all goes. I know exactly how daunting a one sided relationship can be so I already have am idea of what the tree went through. Lovely!

I felt sad reading the book. But now I realized the boy deserved what he got for being greed. It is about a boy that hurts even people that love him to get what he wants but learned his lesson.
