Although my tree didn't turn out looking as well as I planned, it still carries the same message.  The branches and leaves of the tree are made out of my arms.  Leaves play a big role for the tree.  They are a pivotal point in photosynthesis.  Photosynthesis is how plants eat and survive, so without leaves, the tree wouldn't survive.  Much like hands in humans, they play a big role in everyday life.  We use our hands for almost everything we do.

The bark of the tree is made out of my head and face.  Damage to hands and fingers isn't life threatening to a human, much like damage to leaves doesn't kill a tree, however significant damage to the trunk of a tree could cause major harm.  If a human has significant damage to their face, they could face life threatening consequences.  

My hand tree represents a similar connection between a tree and a human life.
