Re: setting, theme, and symbolism
Growing up out of the cement of Brooklyn, the tree stands tall as a beacon of hope. It symbolizes what can be, and how life can exist in a dead place. It is a tree which "struggled to reach the sky", persevering when all hope seemed lost. For the people of the tenements, it symbolizes them; never giving up when life is rough and times are troublesome. The tree is hope for the future, showing what one can grow to be if they just hold out another moment, another day. It opens for the sun, a hope for tomorrow, and its leaves shine green with life. In the middle of a city, it is a testament to strength. Its roots are deep within the challenges of poverty and life, and it has not always been easy. In a desolate place, it almost had no chance. It is especially meaningful to those in the "tenement districts", those that need a little bit of hope and understand the struggle and strife the tree went through to become what it is. But the tree, like hope, overcame its bounds to grow tall and strong against all odds.

Life doesnt go on forever so live each day like it would be your last and dont regret anything.
