The Giving Tree Review

Extracts from this document...

Introduction

Julie Vang Media Literacy March 23, 2010 The Giving Tree There are many reasons why books are being produced, such as entertainments for many children and adults, teaching life values, directions for doing certain things, learning about history, etc. When I was 6 years old, I remember there were always books lying around and I'd read all the books with the colorful and interesting covers and skip all the ones that are dull and left them lying in the corner of the bookshelf for months or years.
