And next week, we are going to be telling the story of The Giving Tree, a wonderfully sweet story of a boy and the tree who loved him by Shel Silverstein. You can participate and tag your shots: Madhatters-givingtree.
@madhatters thank you so very very much for including my image!Madhatters is sooooo much fun! You rock! Looking forward to this week...Even though I don't think we would give The Giving Tree the same review....but I'll figure a way to create a photograph of "my take"on it. We had many a hot debate about this book in my ECE Literacy class.Hard to believe a children's book can be such a hot button topic.:)
@mzzhope@amandal That book is sad. ;0( He was selfish. Is there another way to view that? Like we are supposed to give and give until we are a nub and then feel good about that? Ugh.
@espyetta But the tree, she was sweet. Here I thought I picked this sweet sweet story. A corny one. And now there is controversy. Sweet!:) It is sad, but precious, too...not so much that evil boy.
Someone said that this picture reminded them of that book. I use it as my avatar picture now.
I'm planning on doing a similar shot in the Summer, and I am going to title it "the giving tree"
What a coincidence.
@catwoman2@espyetta@amandal agree! AGREE!Not to mention the destruction of natural resources .Oh how to encompass all this in an image? Hmmmm mm.That's the challenge!
