The Song Of The Trees By Mildred Taylor

How does literature reflect life? Literature reflects life in many ways. I think the story song of the trees teaches some very valuable lessons. Here are two themes that are in the story, never give up and some things are more valuable than money. In every story, there is a lesson or theme. The short story “The Song of the Trees by Mildred Taylor, reflects life through the development of the two themes, never give up and somethings are more important than money.

The Logan family needed the money from Mr. Anderson, the trees they just could not give him, they meant to much to the family even if it might just look like trees. When papa threatened Mr. Anderson that he would blow up the forest, Mr. Anderson told his workers to load up the logs they had already cut down, Papa refused to let Mr. Anderson take the trees so Mr. Anderson offered money but Papa still refused and threatened him again eventually Mr. Anderson left. Papa didn't want Mr. Anderson to do any more damage than he already did he just wanted him to get away from the forest no matter what this is how I can tell that the trees meant so much to them and papa didn't want Mr. Anderson to get his hands on them. This theme relates to many people's lives for example, if someone have something that has been given to them by someone special or something that has been passed down from generations they probably wouldn't sell it because of its sentimental value to other people it may just look like a violin or necklace but to them, it means
