There is a small artificial bonsai tree on my desk. The deep brown branch of the tree emerges from a pot with a collection of grey stoned rocks. Most of the rocks are glued together. However, there are 2-3 rocks that move around and sometimes I rearrange them. After a couple days go by, I try to guess which rocks are loose for fun. This bonsai tree is very calming and the fake green leaves stay green for days, because they’re fake. The leaves are small and plastic, yet they still seem to radiate serenity whenever I stare at them in the middle of an assignment.
I am staring at my bonsai tree right now and noticed something I hadn’t before. There are tiny branches that look like roots digging into the rocks. There is so much detail put into this fake tree to make it look as real as possible. That is why I bought it. I think I spent $10 on this bonsai tree and it became my favorite room decor. My pet fish seems to enjoy the tree as well as she is always staring at it from her tank, which is next to the bonsai tree. This fake plant makes me want to live next to a real bonsai tree one day.
While writing this analysis I was surprised that I noticed something different about my bonsai tree because it has been sitting on my desk for over a year now. The hardest part was trying to deeply analyze a simple object in my room.
