The Giving Tree

The Giving Tree is a book about friendship and devotion. I find it sad that people choose to rip apart such a touching book and over-analyze it so much that its meaning is completely misconstrued. Shel Silverstein honestly tells the story of a friendship between a boy and a tree that spans their...
