I believe that Mr. Freeman was meaning for Melinda to relax and to stop trying to create the perfect mirror image of a tree for they don’t exist. He wants her to draw without thinking and to let her emotions catch hold of her imagination for a while. Mr. Freeman wants her to stop acting like every thing she does is worthless and he wants her to leave the mistakes and turn them into something exiting and different. Mr. Freeman is trying to teach her that trees are not strait and that every tree is different from the next.
How Melinda can apply it to her life is that she can stop hiding what happened to her and tell people about it. Melinda can stop living in fear of Andy Evans raping other girls. How Melinda can put what Mr. Freeman said into her art is that she can stop erasing what she sees as a mistake and turn it into a piece of art. Melinda can draw the way that her hand takes her and allow her emotions to come to life through her art. Melinda can draw her being raped through the eyes of a tree. She can learn to be free of all tear full experiences.

I totally agree with you on what you wrote. Mr. Freemens intentions were never for her to draw a perfect tree. And yeah i agree to if she apply's her life to something positive. That would probably be the best thing for her to do to help cope with her dark secret.
I totally agree with you and what you wrote and Mr.Freeman's intentions are never to make her draw a perfect tree and I think that you are kinda like Mr.Freeman and i think i hate andy evans and he is a complete douche bag. dont you agree.
I was thinking about this on the last few parts of the book. I'm not sure Mr. Freeman intended that the entire time but I think it is possible that he might've. I think that is a very good analysis. I think there are a lot of hidden messages that I never caught on to.
