My blog is based on the book Heartbeat by Sharon Creech. In my blog, I explain the book through summaries and I share my thoughts on some of the happenings that occured in the story. The summary's are in white, my thoughts are in green and the pages/poem titles are in purple. However, for the next two sections, i am going to have a seperate posts for my summarys and my thoughts (i will still keep the same colors though). I truely hope that you guys enjoy my blog and leave some great comments!

Section 3: Thoughts (Pg. 120 - end)
Connection: part 2
Robert Frost also created another outstanding poem called, "Tree At My Window" which clearly shows how he took a tree and added personification to it. He made the tree something worth communicating with, connecting with, or thinking about, even thought it was a measly tree outside his window (you can also see this poem at the bottom). Just like Frost, Annie took the apple and appreciated it, even when it was wilting away and as it's image slipped beneath her grasp. It seems as if she connected the apple to everything and everyone around her, ever since she first began the art project. She acted as if the apple was like her grandfather - as he slowly wilts away, so does the apple, but she continually cherished them as if they were here to stay for the longest time.
