The Giving Tree can be seen as a metaphor for a mother-child relationship. In this story, there is an animistic tree that cares for a boy and will do anything to see him thrive in life. As long as she sees him, she will be the happiest tree in the word but the boy doesn't appreciate the love and care he is given. For example, a mother gives everything to their child, and the child sucks up the resources like a litch for it to benefit and survive. How could a being sacrifice so much? The tree gave up everything she had for the boy, and he doesn’t reciprocate
