[quote=Anonymous]I have always truly believed that The Giving Tree is a good book. It is read and perceived through the eyes of the reader. The boy is a taker, the tree is a doormat, the boy is a child and the tree is a parent, or something in between. The relationship in the beginning is loving, corrodes over time. The natural ebb and flow of life takes the tree and the boy down its currents. People don't like The Giving Tree because it isn't easily understood, much like basically all human relationships it is portraying something complex and hard to understand. And much like almost all human relationships, it has aspects of great beauty and aspects of great sadness. It is an adult book written for children, because children understand more than we give them credit for. [/quote]
