The Fir Tree Essay - Jose

In the story fir tree the lesson or theme is to be careful on what you wish for. In the story the little fir tree wishes to be a big fir tree like the other pine trees. Later on in the story he gets his wish and becomes a Christmas tree. In the end he gets burned and discovers that his wish wasn't a good one.

In the beginning he wants to be a big pine tree and wants to be cut down and be a christmas tree. Seasons pass and he gets taller and watches one of his pine tree friends get cut down and ship.

Later he grows big enough to get cut down and ship to become a christmas tree. He thinks everyone will hang out with the christmas tree and love him. But that is not true because later he does become a christmas tree, but he gets burn in the end. He dies getting his wish and discovers his wish was not the right one.

My ideas about the story is that be careful on what you wish for because later on you can end up having your wish, but you die out of it. Wishing is good, but you need to think twice on what you wish for.
