Research Paper On Christmas Trees

In Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House, the Christmas tree parallels with Nora’s development, her mental state, and position in the household. The tree can be recognized as an object placed in a house to please the eyes and adds beauty to a home. Torvald objectifies Nora, seeing her as a plaything carrying no purpose other than to look at and be pretty. As the play continues and Nora develops into a mature character and becomes aware of her repression, the Christmas Tree begins to visibly deteriorate and wither. The Christmas tree emphasizes Nora’s rebirth and realization of her own dissatisfaction with life and must act against Torvald. The disintegration of the tree also parallels the disintegration of the decorations (pretty dresses) Nora uses

Boise, Idaho is located in a wide river valley at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. In 1834 the Hudson Bay Company established Fort Boise for the purpose of a fur trading location and as a general trading port along the Oregon Trail route. The fort was located 40 miles from the present day city of Boise and was situated at the mouth of the Boise River. The area of present day Boise was named “Les Bois” which is French for “wooded”.

In Toni Morrison's novel Beloved, each character holds a special connection to trees and each places different meaning in them. The motif of trees and plants represent a calming force, escape from hardship, and circle of life that can heal the wounds of slavery. Paul D and Sethe are two characters in particular who place unique meaning in plants and use them as a way to escape their painful memories and the horrors of slavery.

It is a rule of nature that whenever an outside force threatens to destroy a body embedded in a community, that the members of that entrenched body will collaborate to exorcise that hostile opponent. In the same way, during times of outward peace, members of the same community will begin to oppose each other and order themselves by an individually reasoned likelihood of survival. Correspondingly, humans will often align themselves with others of similar political philosophy during times of international hostility but turn on themselves during times of international tranquility, forming intranational difficulty. This domestic destabilization, which may be incredibly minor or catastrophically important, will lead to the formation of factions.
