ginkgo. As I read in the previewing on page 131 it states the ginkgo tree is the only survivor of a species of prehistoric past. It is also very different from the willow. Its squat shape and fan shaped leaves make it looks different. I believe that being different means being unique. When something is unique it stands out from everything usual in the crowd.

By analyzing the data in a first view you can directly see that the first and last name does not have any influence on the loan grant respectively the loan amount‚ which seems to be self-explaining.

It is as if someone has cut the tree into two unequal pieces with a huge sword. If I wrap my arms around the thicker half of the tree‚ my hands barely touch each other.
