I have selected the song “When I Was a Boy” by Dar Williams. The song was released in 1993. [Wood, Mark,” Cabaret Setlist: When I Was a Boy”-Music and lyrics by Dar Williams”,21 November 2020,http:/www.bistrowards.com]

 Dorothy Snowden “Dar” Williams was born on April 19, 1967. She is an American folk songwriter from Mount Kisco, New York. Periodic themes in Dar’s songs include religion, adolescence, gender issues, anti-commercialism, misunderstood relationships, loss, humor, and geography. One of the articles in tomboy muse on gender roles and how they limit boys and girls, who then become limited men and women. Dar also emphasizes that the song has always moved her as a man who had the same childhood as a “girl” that the man in the song’s final verse describes. Dar says: I realized that it’s just not a feminist song. It’s not a song about women, it’s a song about children. So that is why the end is” when I was a girl”. And 2001 “The Advocate” writer discussed William’s popularity among LGBT people, writing that among LGBT supportive songwriters,” few manage in their lyrics to dig as deeply or as authentically as William does”. “When I Was a Boy”, also on The Honest Room, uses Williams’ own childhood experiences as a that’s what made all the difference.

 In my opinion, this song is absolutely beautiful. Dar had beautifully highlighted the hidden feelings of many people from around the world. Gender became so rigid when people become adults. If any person doesn’t fit their genders stereotype, people think you’re gay or transgender or “confused”. It’s so much simpler with little kids. It’s okay to climb up trees “When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom Climbed what I could climb upon” Dar has effectively highlighted it. This isn’t only a feminist rejection of female gender roles, but a fully rounded realization of how social gender norms constrain all of us. In the end, you’ll notice a boy ‘character’ in the song saying that he felt the same way about having to leave behind some of his tendencies that could be considered ‘girlish.’ Every word of the strong highlights the feelings as well as the strong points. As far as I’m concerned, I think it’s a song that addresses bittersweet and nostalgic feelings about childhood itself, regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl. The song strongly speaks of the sad truth of society the things we lose – the things we trade in the name of growing up.

The Importance of Urban Forests

A historian, Jill Jones, described the skyline of Manhattan’s upper Fifth Avenue as “a beautiful shadow cathedral.” Slippery elm trees spread out their branches for a safe distance to cover the scorching sun, forming the main body of the cathedral. Jones later wrote that these trees had died of various diseases. Not only that, construction projects also pose a similar threat to these disaster relief trees.

 In less than a week, the “Big Tree Project” to save these trees was established, with 16,000 members worldwide. The new urban agenda will be announced at the United Nations meeting to address the challenges faced by the world’s rapidly growing urban population, which currently accounts for more than half of the world’s population. Jones continued: “Municipal officials used to consider trees to be expensive decorations, but now they realize their value because they absorb so much carbon dioxide and reduce the demand for air conditioners and heaters.”

 According to the survey, planting large numbers of trees in New York City parks can save the park $120 per year. Saved 28 million U.S. dollars in energy, improved 5 million U.S. dollars in air quality and avoided 36 million U.S. dollars in cost to alleviate rain flooding. In addition, the size of the canopy is estimated using a program called i-tree. Jones also pointed out that trees are vital to the economic well-being of a country. He pointed out that rich communities have many trees, while poor communities have far fewer. Trees can also help us stay healthy by reducing cortisol levels, which means we are less stressed.

 According to Bird, people are more likely to go to areas with more trees because they are thinner. So less stress equals more activity. Therefore, humans are drawn to areas with more trees. According to a study, women who live near trees have less mental fatigue and violent tendencies. Marc German used data from the national health system to show that planting 10 more trees per plot can improve the perception of health as if someone made a lot of money in a short time or as if someone were 7 years younger.

 Rich Mitchell compared declining income and exposure to green space in England and found that health inequality associated with income deprivation is lower in all-cause mortality and mortality from circulatory disease in the areas greener. According to Bird and Jones, children who are not exposed to nature grow up without experiencing nature. If they have no experience, they will have nothing to pass on and they will disrespect nature.
