The Tree Outside

This will compare the differences in how the Italians, Ionians and Pluralists thought.

A Tree:

Italian - The tree is apart of one system. The tree is unified with everything that is not the tree.

Ionian - The tree has bark and the tree can be felt.

Pluarlist - The tree is made of particles that intervene with each other to make up the tree
