[quote=Anonymous]I think if we are being honest with ourselves, we have all been the "tree" and "boy" at different points in our lives/ and in different family relationships. We have been takers and we have been givers. I think that is why the book hurts and is so poignant for most people. As a giver, the book hurts as the boy takes advantage of the tree's generosity and the tree's lack of boundaries. As a taker, this book is very haunting as it makes us reflect on our own selfishness.
