There are four main themes of symbolism in the novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. All of the symbols are centered around the love the Nolan family shows to each other, and the hope and willingness to create a better future. All of these things may seem small to most, but to Francie Nolan, these four things were the most important objects in her childhood; the tree of heaven that grew in the courtyard of the Nolan’s final house in Williamsburg; the tin can bank where they would save five cents a day to buy land; the library where Francie would check out books; and her father, Johnny’s pearl studs that her mother, Katie, gave him as a wedding gift. All four of these things positively shaped Francie’s life forever. In the last apartment the Nolan’s lived in, there was a tree in the courtyard growing out of the cement.
Somehow, I’m breaking her trust, but at least I’m not doing anything that can bring shame for my family or offend my parents. I just want to spend a little bit more time with my friends. It’s just a small piece of lie. I never lie to her in serious cases. Moreover, I never continue to lie for getting late.
Being in the free means you can do what you please and should be accepted by all. Unfortunately in this story things did not start that way. The Duvitches came to this town because “For years before coming to America they had been on the move, to escape starvation, separation, possible assassination.” (2), so they were hoping to finally get away from all that. The town however did not accept them or help them in anyway which really made their life harder, but once, at the end of the story, when the town accepted them they flourished in the community and began to live how they wanted to live in a free country. Because of the fact that they could not really flourish in the community until they were accepted, this story really shows that true freedom is acceptance.
To Gene, Phineas, and a lot of the other boys at Devon, the tree is some place where they can get away. It is the one place they all go to every afternoon for their Suicide Society meetings. Gene thinks that the tree can never be changed, or touched. It will always stay in the same state that it has always been in. The tree is innocent and untouched.
After a month my mom also got job so after that we spent our life with ease but at the same time we were saving money. Next trouble was we all had to stay dependent on ride because of lack of car. We were walking to Wal-Mart and other stores to get grocery. It was hard but we did it also in winter too I still remember that me and my mom were walking 2-3 miles every day from work to house. So probably after one year we got our first used car.
Being “oversane” is to open your mind to more than just your life. Peter has a routine life that makes him a sane person, he does not think about himself as being a speck on the Earth, or that there are drag queens, and monsters, and lonely people in the world. Of course Peter knows these things exist, but his small world does not include them. Peter goes to the same bench in Central Park every weekend at the same time to read a book, when Jerry comes over to talk with him, Peter does not freak-out but he lets Jerry ask questions. Peter is willing to accept Jerry as a person, so Jerry figures that Peter is the perfect person to teach.
“What Veteran’s Day mean to Me” “Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value”. ~Albert Einstein.Veterans are not just men and women who went to war. Veterans are the cause, we live in a safe country they are the cause, we walk on the sidewalk laughing and enjoying what life brings us. But the question in my mind is we laugh, play, and learn, what about Veterans they don’t laugh, they cry they don’t play they fight they don’t learn they die. We are not grateful we don’t respect the lives we live in every day.
