The Giving Tree — 

In the Giving Tree I see a lot of what women tend to do to themselves -- giving themselves away until they are completely used up. Up it is a very poor lesson  for children and adults. On one hand you have boy who is more than willing to allow for the tree to destroy itself on his behalf and the tree who allow itsellf to be used up. In real life we can never really take care of anyone until we learn to take care of ourselves. How much more would the tree have had to offer if were whole?
