Perform a feminist critical reading of Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree. Your response should be at least a paragraph long and should consider the following questions: How is the relationship between men and women portrayed? What are the power relationships between men and women (or characters assuming male/female roles)? What constitutes masculinity and femininity? How do characters embody these traits? What does the work reveal about the operations (economically, politically, socially, or psychologically) of patriarchy? What does the history of the work's reception by the public and by the critics tell us about the operation of patriarchy?

Gender roles can be defined as the behaviors, values, and attitudes that a society considers appropriate for both male and female. Traditionally, men and women had completely opposing roles, men were seen as the provider for the family and women were seen as the caretakers of both the home and the family.

The terms masculinity and femininity refer to traits or characteristics typically associated with being male or female, respectively. Traditionally, masculinity and femininity have been conceptualized as opposite ends of a single dimension, with masculinity at one extreme and femininity at the other.
