Children’s picture books seldom have much depth in their brief pages or illustrations. Yet, The Giving Tree perfectly encapsulates abstract concepts like love, selflessness, and even death. It is simultaneously a straightforward children’s story and a heartbreaking allegory aptly showing the lengths one goes to (and gives to) for love.

Who Is Clavicular? The Looksmaxxing Streamer Who Ran Over A Stalker In His Cybertruck
What is so damaging to this current culture is the ant-intellectualism which pervades nearly every element of it. Clavicular, real name, Braden Peters equivocates physical form with getting women, making money, and overall being a strong “man.”

Catching Up
I know I have not been reading and commenting a lot these past couple weeks, but I have been reading and writing in my old-fashioned composition books and preparing some of those writings for here on Vocal. I have also been researching and writing my study books. I do have one wish for my subscribers here on Vocal.media.com and that is that everyone will have a great year. I do have a request and would like some follow-up on some of my older work and would you guys read or re-read my material and share your thoughts for I am thinking of putting together an anthology.
