[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Giving Tree.[/quote]

I hate this friggin book. The tree is a total doormat. Really, it's happy in the end when it's just a stump?? Its sole purpose was to please the boy/man? Sure, it's  noble and all to give and want nothing in return, but not when someone is destroying your very existence and calling. That's not love. I wish someone would rewrite it and create a more symbiotic relationship btwn the boy and tree. You know, boy grows into a man, makes $$ selling apples, expands his business by planting apple seeds and growing more seeds, selectively prunes branches to build a house, has a family and son plays in tree just like when he was a kid.. . Everybody is HAPPY! Yay![/quote]

Sorry, I went on a rant and forgot to mention what other books annoy me - pretty much all of Sandra Boynton's books.[/quote]

Also realized I was typing so fast I made a fair share of typos. I'm sure you can figure it out though.[/quote]
