In the book "The giving tree" by Silverstein the tree gave everything even herself to the boy and it makes us think about unconditional love. Mao was raised by a mother who gave everything for her daughters even her life.Thinking of such devotion and unconditional love I can see the reason why I love this skater so much. She is trying to do same thing, giving up herself to better reasons and that is the spirit of the giving tree, we all are touched. Mao is a giving tree for me and everyone.
