Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree‚ a classic children’s book about a boy that grows up alongside a tree and continues to take advantage of the tree’s love for him by taking its resources throughout his life. I reread this book many times throughout my childhood‚ and despite me not quite grasping the story’s message when I was younger‚ I eventually realized what the actual moral of the story was as I thought about it more and more as I grew up. Due to this‚ The Giving Tree was one of the first stories

America’s Gift to my Generation is safety. For years our country has been threatened by outside forces. Without the military that America has and has had I would not live in the safe country I do today. I feel especially patriotic towards the military because my grandfather fought and was shot in the Vietnam war.

writes this in reminiscence of the Casuarina tree that grew in the courtyard of her childhood home.
