So, this is a description of the freshmen tree. Since we are starting to read The Poisonwood Bible, this is an attempt to describe something like how the forest is described in the first chapter.
Look at that castle of a tree. Surrounding it is a cement wall, splattered with bird poop and smeared with spilled lunches. Within the wall, bordering the castle, is a moat. The moat is swarming with ugly, disgusting roaches and other insect inhabitants. It is overgrown with ferns and winding weeds. Trashy infestations litter the whole area. Lost things will never be found in the dirt filled moat.
Moss crawling up the castle walls, creating a new kind of paint. Great arms reach across the sky, the castle's multiple towers. They are flowered with green toppers. Towers hold its people who chirp about loudly, fluttering about with their own business. Up high and down below seem to have no connection other than the tower that holds everything together.
Blah. I doubt this is anything like what's in the book but, oh well.

This descriptions of the freshman tree is pretty good. But you made it sound like its kind of on the unbearable side. Thats good but you could possibly balance it with things that are visually appealing. Like you can show how the trash works with the natural beauty of the tree to make it have its own identity. But good job.
