// The giving Tree //

Heart felt and toughing. The giving tree is another wonderful written book by Shel Silverstein. In the beginning a boy and this apple tree play together and love each other. The boy grows up and doesn’t come back for a while. When the boy does come back he asks the tree for some money. The tree tells him to take and sell her apples and the boy does. The boy grows up more and stays away for a long time. He finally comes back and when he does he asks the tree for a house. The tree tells him to take her branches and build one, so the boy does. The boy grows even older and comes back to ask the tree for a boat, the tree tells him to cut down her trees and he does. When the boy finally comes back he just wants a place to sit, so the tree tells him to sit on her trunk. I would relate this story to mother earth and mankind. The tree is mother earth and the boy is mankind. Mankind uses a lot of the tree but they never really give back. The author wrote a children’s book but really was trying to relate it to mother earth and mankind. Areyou the tree or the boy?

__The Gettysberg Adresss__

= The Gettysburg address was ceremony to honor the people that died in the civil war. It was given by Abraham Lincoln. It might have been only less than two minutes long but it was very powerful. I would relate his speech to the way families give everything for their children. Like Lincoln said “the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here but can never forget what they did here.” Just like when those parents of those children die there legacy will be passed on. = = = = I learned a few facts from this, one is it was only around 270 words long. Another is that the photographer thought he would have a few minutes to set up his camera during the speech, but Lincoln walked of stage before he could get a picture. I also learned that the speech was less than two minutes. I thought it is really a touching speech. =

The little mermaid The little mermaid is a tale of giving and love by Hans Christian Anderson. A few main characters that are very important are the little mermaid and the prince. The little mermaid gives so much to be with the prince. The prince never notices that she did that one of the things she did was let the evil wicth cut of her tounge so she cant talk.

The little mermaid is a loving and determind mermaid. for example she left her whole family and the water just to be with the prince of whom she rmescued when he waa about to drown. She was enduring like when she was her mid was set to getting through the man eating plants to get to the witch who would let her become a human. She was really determind to save the prince and be with him.

The prince was clueless and oblivious to how much the little mermaid did for him and to be with him. He thought that when he woke up that the first girl he saw was the one that had saved him and so he loved her and they got married. He did all that without knowing how the little mermaid flung the knife that her sisters gave her to kill the prince and come home under the water into the sea because she did not have the heart to kill him because she loved him so much. After the little mermaid was gone the prince finally cared and tried to look all over for her.

I would relate that to something that a mother would do for her children. Just like the little mermaid gave her life to make the prince happy and to be with him mothers give so much than people know just to be with their children. For example a mother gives all she has for her children to make them happy even if they don’t have a lot. The story the little mermaid is a loving and emotional tale that i would recomend to anyone.

= According to Dictinary.com a hero is a Pearson “ of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.” Most people believe that a hero is a Pearson with super ability or something similar to that. =

An unsung hero is a Pearson who gives to other people and who doesn’t think about themselves, but who doesn’t really get recognized to be heroic. Most people these days think that you have to jump of a cliff to be a hero or be in a comic book, but the truth is there are millions of so called heros out there that do a lot more than you expect. Those people are called unsung heroes.

One of those people who give a lot is Jessica Dawn Wigg. She has a lot of the qualities of an unsung hero, for example she is always willing to give something to make other people happy even if it means that she is not happy. She never gives up on anything including her family. She is a true unsung hero.

Much like the generous and loving book __The Giving Tree__ Jessica Dawn Wigg loves her family so much she gives and gives until she has nothing left to give and then she gives more. She goes to the full extent to make other people happy even though her, herself goes through a lot to sometimes.
