The well-known Christian author once wrote, "Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty.
I decided to read The Chanukkah Tree because I wanted to learn more about the Jewish culture and religion. The identity group that the book depicts are men, women, and children who are Jews. The Chanukkah tree is about the people of Chelm who were tricked by a peddler into buying a Christmas tree by stating that the tree was a Chanukkah tree from America. The people of Chelm were excited and started to decorate their Chanukkah tree using candles for light, latkes, a door of the synagogue, which has a Star of David carved on it, and dreidels.

In “Four Skinny Trees”, Cisneros establishes an inspiring tone through the use of personification and metaphor in order to develop the theme, one must learn to adapt to their environment and find inspiration where they can. Cisneros utilizes personification by giving the four skinny trees human traits in order to portray the idea that Esperanza finds herself connecting to the trees in a place where she feels she does not belong. “They are the only ones who understand me,” (Cisneros 74.) The author utilized this piece of personification in the Vignette in order to show that the four skinny trees around Esparanza are like humans to her and not just plain useless trees. This part is personification as trees do not have the ability to understand
In figure 5 we can see that for the orange ellipse the speed is less than the circular speed, for the green circle the speed is the circular speed and for the red ellipse the speed is greater than the circular speed but not as large as the escape speed. In figure 6 we can see that for the blue parabola its velocity is the escape velocity and for the yellow hyperbola the body’s speed is greater than the escape velocity. An interesting thought experiment to do is to imagine that the gravitational constant was decrease or increased and so as a result the equations for Circular and Escape speed will allow bodies to escape that would not have enough speed to escape the gravitational field.
Obstacles can be challenging, and difficult, but people can overcome them by never giving up, always trying their best, and surrounding themselves with families and friends. Two stories that I have read that show adversity are “A Work in Progress” by Aimee Mullins which is about a little girl losing her leg. The other story I read is “So Far From the Bamboo Grove” by Yoko Kawashima Watkins about a little girl that has to leave her home because of war and has very big obstacles to overcome. Aimee Mullins and the Kawashimas both face obstacles that include losing family members, walking very far in intense weather, and people doubting you and trying to stop you. In the end they all make it through the the challenges mentally and physically.
For my analysis I decided to read and comprehend “From A Son of the Forest” by William Apess. He was the first Native American to have a published autobiography. William was the son of a Native American women and a white man, which was becoming more and more common during this time period. Other than the information provided in his autobiography, little is known of Apess’ life. He was the leader of the first Indian Rights movement, and was an activist in civil rights.

The cool, upland air, flooding through the everlasting branches of the lively tree, as it casts a vague shadow onto the grasses ' fine green. Fresh sunlight penetrates through the branches of the tree, illuminating perfect spheres of water upon its green wands. My numb and almost transparent feet are blanketed by the sweetness of the scene, as the sunlight paints my lips red, my hair ebony, and my eyes honey-like. The noon sunlight acts as a HD camera, telling no lies, in the world in which shadows of truth are the harshest, revealing every flaw in the sight, like a toddler carrying his very first camera, taking pictures of whatever he sees. My head looks down at the sight of my cold and lifeless feet, before making its way up to the reaching arms of an infatuating tree, glowing brightly virescent at the edges of the trunk, inviting a soothing, tingling sensation to my soul.
