[@imnotkanyewest1791]

The book, to me, is about motherhood. A mom who gives her child everything she can, and is content that her child is happy, even when he takes a whole lot.

[@caffe1n8ed]

That’s how I interpreted it too :) the way the boy feels entitled to use her resources and how she happily agrees to it and feels responsible for his happiness seems a lot like a parent-child connection!

[@All-SeeingIGGY]

dude, the smile that appeared on my face when you pulled out the giving tree. i used to love that story growing up!! whenever i would go to target with my mom, i would seek out that book and read it while walking. it always hit different than most other books, but still now i can never place why! i mean obviously its got some symbolism of relationships, but i feel like theres something deeper.. whatever it is it made me cry almost every time i read it, and it still does. one of my favorite books, thank you for reminding me of it :)

[@laurenparren9938]

had to think about the meaning of the book for a moment. one time i heard someone say: “don’t worry about the future and all that, just do what you wanna do right now, because you never know what happens tomorrow, or in a week”. ever since I heard that I think I changed my way of thinking, it really stuck with me. maybe we just need to appreciate what we have already. or who we have in our lives.

I think the story has a couple meanings. Be content with what you have and be mindful of what you take from others. The boy took so much from the tree without ever giving anything back. I think we should all be mindful of this on a personal and global level 😊 Great video btw, I really enjoyed this one. Happy holidays to you and your family ❤️

[@gentledov3]

The giving tree is such a sad book. It reminds me of the song washing machine heart by mitski. The tree doesn't really have much going for her and is always alone, so she lets the boy take advantage of what she does have, hoping that it'll make him stay, but it does the opposite. The boy has the mindset that there's always something better he can chase: money, relationships, houses, etc. but he doesn't realize that all those things can leave him just as they came, and its not guaranteed that they'll make him happy. That's why he always comes back when he has what he thinks he wants because he hopes that those new things will somehow fill the void. He goes back to the tree because he knows she'll help him out when he's sad and looking for something more. He doesn't really love her and isn't necessarily attached to her. He just sees her as a means to an end.

[@gumoochie]

I LOVE that you compared it to washing machine heart! tysm!

[@wyla]

i actually really enjoyed the reading segment in this, that book really does have deep messaging that i totally glossed over as a child, i used to think it was just a story about getting old now i know it’s more than that.

[@_lithen]

Thank you for the video! I really enjoyed the book part At first I wasn't that interested but in the end I got so involved in the story that I woke up I actually waited for the boy to realise that he was harming the tree. It seemed that in the end he came to the tree not to ask for something, but just to be near it. Yet it still felt like the tree gave him a part of itself and chose boy's comfort over itself I wish the boy realised he exploited the tree. I wanted to see him care for the tree, even if it was after some time. For example, he could have helped a new sprout, a descendant of that tree, to grow But the story is undoubtedly thought-provoking. Thank you so much for sharing it with us

I think the theme of the book is just about loving someone so much that you give them your all, even if they don’t seem to appreciate it or reciprocate the same love, you love them anyways. because it’s not about equality or receiving the same treatment, it’s about loving unconditionally even if it means the outwardly expressed love for you isn’t shown as much as you give.

[@jakgajwghoawghkah]

I loved this video! The book brought back memories to when I was little; I think the overall theme of the book though is greed. The boy wanted more, and more, and the tree gave him all she could, and they still ended up in the same place in the end. Both tired, old, with little to give. This might be a different interpretation of the book than others but that is how I have always viewed it personally. No matter what material objects you obtain in your life, it doesn't truly matter in the grand scheme of life.

[@ruckus6273]

the book reminded me of situationships, you give them what they want to make them happy as they come and go. It makes you "happy" in the moment but it does takes a toll on you. Or. maybe its just abt a tree and a boy

[@CalebJackal]

This “odd one out” segment is so tingly. Love it, great job!

[@SasukeJR]

The tree gave everything it had to the boy without considering itself. Love is unconditional but it’s clear the boy had no love for the tree once he grew older because he did not return until he needed something again. He also just kept wanting more. He was happiest as a child and whenever he came back, he seemed more sad. We tend to complicate things and look forward to that next thing instead of appreciating what we have in the moment. Nature is such a gift and yet we claim ownership of it, take it’s apples, take it’s branches, and then it’s trunk, without leaving something for the next child to love and appreciate.

how did yk??

[@ina_exe]

@gumoochie just followed the strokes that your hand made + the sound hahah, also the way that you write 1 - the number + an extra stroke underneath, i spotted twice at 2nd and 4th digit a.k.a before 4 and 5. i have pi memorized only until the first "2" which is the 7th digit but that was enough to figure it out 😭

[@iroo77]

For me, the book tells a lot of different things. The unconditional love the giving tree had and the sacrifices she did. The boy never enjoying life itself and always asking for different things until he became old. How our desires and needs change as we grow old. And i think we all have ‘giving tree’ figures in our life that helps us a lot but we usually don’t even notice, or sometimes we are the giving tree to other people..

[@aimechrisberry]

I love this book, my mom red it to me as a child and I've held it in my heart as one of my favorites sense, also it makes me cry every dang time haha! As a child I thought of the tree as a mother or a parent figure who will give everything for their child and just their child being happy would make them happy, which is why i thought the tree was happy even though clearly she's not really happy cause shes no longer whole after giving everything she had to her boy. As I grew up and reread it I learned it can have many meanings, but i still like to think the over all theme is about giving everything to someone who doesn't appreciate it until its too late and you have nothing left to give. Also I noticed in the carvings one says ME + T which its obviously Me + Tree and the second one says ME + Y.L. this I believe is Me + Young Love which I think is a super cute detail and I wonder if it has any significance to the meaning the author originally intended.

[@kingofbudokai]

I think the only difficult one for the odd ones out is the spoon/book/palette/ruler combo. I can see justifiable lines of reasoning for each item. For example, If it is a recipe book (which is what my first instinct was to believe for whatever reason) I would argue the palette does not fit, as all three of the others deal with measurements. However, you could also make the argument that "book" is the one one out from an alphabetical sense, since s, p, and r, the beginning letters for the other three items, are all found in the same part of the alphabet, while B is off by itself. Additionally, from a shapes standpoint one could argue that the ruler is the odd one out, as it is the only image that contains no curved lines. One could also argue from the spatial standpoint, saying that the spoon is the odd one out because all three of the others can be separated into sections, the book by pages, the ruler by inches/centimeters, and the palette by colors. Any one of these would constitute a logical analysis of the presented data, and thus could be construed as correct.

[@Beccy3]

The book to me, is about how much you can give to someone and not get anything back. The tree wanted the boy to be happy so it did everything it possibly could do but he wasn’t Grateful. The tree loved the boy but the boy just loved it because it could get something out of it. Love is one of the greatest things but it’s also one of the easiest ways to get hurt. My dad told me ”Du kan inte vara med någon som vill bara ha. Man kan bara inte ge och ge. For någon att fånga så är det att man måste ge och ta.” It means that you can’t just give and give. It needs to be take and give.
