The theme from the novel Willow and Twig written by Jean little that resonated with me was family, specifically the relationship between brother and sister. This theme stood out for me the most because it reminded me of how my brother and I acted together throughout my entire life.

the pile of twigs and leaves, the beat of the drum, and the wild horses. They all connect to the battle in some way. There are many symbols in the story.

Nalini Nadkarni’s TED Talk, Life Science in Prison, argues that change is possible in a prison system. She uses trees as a metaphor for prisons to suggest that trees are dynamic entities rather than static objects, and that this reformative thinking can also be applied to prison systems.

Along with that, the robot would also be able to hunt animals like deer and rabbits. Since the robot is solar-powered, it wouldn’t need to have

Throughout Toni Morrison’s Sula, the narrator introduces the concept of right versus wrong.

big or die trying. I started to get twigs and branches and leaves and anything I could find. I was going to burn this jungle down if that meant I was going to get rescued. I got berries for Lacey to eat on the treehouse. I was stacking all the branches and twigs and Lacey kept on asking what I was doing. I did not answer. It was not until the several time she asked when I answered. "They helped me and know I have to keep my promise." I said still collecting twigs. "Which is?" Asked Lacey "To get rescued
