How can trees weather the storm? This story opens with a prologue of four seasons and their own unique characteristics. The author tells us about the four different seasons that our beautiful green trees sustain. In actuality, it represents how each one transcends to unconditional elements. In Dr. Kellers childrens book Four Seasonal Trees, she talks about how trees are attacked by the elements of winter, spring, summer, and fall. The four protagonists of seasons bring changes to our beautiful green trees. The conflict they represent is transforming from beautiful green leaves to bald, lifeless gray tree branches and trunks. Winter decides to find himself blowing away all the colorful leaves from its lifelessness. Spring discovers that winter will come about, so she decides to turn her leaves to yellow, orange, and red. However, crispy brown sneaks in. Next, summer begins to surface. Summer brings about an exciting new look and different sounds, lots of sunshine, fresh air, and different sounds from different birds and animalseven the surrounding of squirrels running happier up and down the tree branches and tree trunk. Spring, therefore, helps summer. Spring laps herself around spring. The leaves swing freely. She produces such a fresh breeze whereby people want to sit under her manifested full green body. The four protagonists, winter, spring, summer, and fall, all engage in their own division of nature. They weather the storm of snow, rain, and destructive elements. Nevertheless, the falling action of each demonstrates their characteristic of providing what is necessary for survival. Each one resolves himself or herself in functioning as growing, nurturing, and promoting its nature duties.
