I recently saw a quote that said “from tiny seeds, grow mighty trees.” When I read it, it struck me as one of the most profound things I have ever reflected on. Within these children we plant tiny seeds each day. We plants seeds that we trust will help our children grow into strong adults.

In order for them to grow into strong adults they will need deep roots… roots that are sunk in the soil of self confidence and strong values and beliefs. Each day we must water them with hope, kindness, and love. We must feed the plants with the nutrients of knowledge, character, and dedication. We must care for them so they can bloom with creativity, curiosity, intelligence, citizenship, and leadership.

It is my hope that we have been diligent caretakers of these little ones this year. It is my promise that we will continue to nurture these little ones as they grow here at Mt. Carmel. Thank you for sharing your most precious children with us this year.

    When “The Children’s Era” was delivered much of the population still worked in the farming industry. Early in Sanger’s speech she gives an analogy about gardening to represent the time and effort that goes into raising and caring for a child. Sanger states, “Before you can cultivate a garden, you must know something about gardening. …we must first of all learn the lesson of the gardener.” “And always -- do not forget this -- you have got to fight weeds. You cannot have a garden, if you let weeds overrun it.” (The Eloquent Woman, 2013) In the gardening analogy Sanger is using ethos combined with figurative language to get her point across. Sanger demonstrates her knowledge of gardening which is relatable to her audience, and then cleverly makes them realize how the two seemingly unconnected tasks are indeed similar. Sanger uses ethos in this example to establish common ground with her audience and in turn make them more willing to consider her…

    The roots of any plant have a specific role that partakes in its foundation and growth, which directly correlates to Mama's nurturing character in the text. The roots are the center of the beginning in the growth of each plant. It's key functions stem along the lines of absorption of water and minerals; which feed the plant. They are the anchors, which keep it grounded and sturdy and above all they are the main essentials and focus for photosynthesis. Although the scientific definition creates questioning how this can relate to the work A Raisin in the Sun, it is apparent at how Mama's role has a very obvious connection to the roots of the plant. Her matriarchal role associates with these roots in such a clear manner in this literary piece. As she is the head of the household in more ways than one, her love and care for her family is uniquely similar to her care for her plant. In Hansberry's first description of Mama's character, it is determined that she represents the roots of the family. "Her dark-brown face is surrounded by the total whiteness of her hair, and, being a woman who has adjusted to many things in life and overcome many more, her face is full of strength" (Act 1, scene 1, 11.) Her…

    As time progresses, the father hopes that the plant, which is now part of his child and he a part of it, will outlive his family – the “unborn brothers”, “every niece and nephew”, and the family’s house as well. In the dad’s opinion, the act of planting a tree is compensating for the early death of the child – an act of rebellion against the authority of God - so that the boy lives on, as a sort of reincarnated version in the tree. And we get the sensation of this everlasting life in many stanzas throughout the poem.…

    Theodore Roethke’s poem, Cuttings, shows how plants work and function. This poem is about a plant who drops its seeds on the ground. From this seed, a new plant takes shape, Roethke says, “One nub of growth nudges a sand-crumb loose, pokes through a musty sheath its pale tenderous horn.” When saying this,…
