flow chart

tree life cycle

step 1: trees are typically grown to make paper out of them. but eventually they are cut down and put through a debarker and chipper
.
step 2: this is called the pulp preperation which is washed refined and sometimes bleached then turned into a pulp slush which than color dyes and coatings are mixed in.

step 3: the pulp travels down a screen and the water is drained away and recycled as the paper turns into a sheet or web than it is squeezed in between big rollers to remove most of the water and than heated so it dries out the rest of the water

step 4: the finished paper is wound into rolls an then cut into little sheets to for more manageable moving

journal entry 3

Earl is back goons, I was separated after being cut up into sheets and spread out all over the place. i dont like this paper form of me but the rest of the world is interesting i guess. i miss the rest of my trunk though. Right now im in a place these humans call school and they are smearing weird liquids all over me, its kind of a sticky waxy feeling and is very colorful, but man these are tiny humans. i was eventually brought into a house and now im stuck to this magnetic box and every time these humans open it i get real cold. but i guess this is my last journal entry. see you one day again hopefully.

Journal Entry 2

Sup foos its earl again, unfortunately those disgusting humans did cut me down and take me away on their whack four wheelers. First they skinned me like a potato and than threw me into this machine which cuts me into pieces. it hurt at first but than they pressure cooked me with water and some other chemicsals which i kind of liked. than they did something called a pulp preparation which was very weird but i got over that fast.After i was made into sheets of "paper" and put into a large roller which squeezed the juice out of me eventually i was heated up which got the rest of the juice out of me.Finally i was put into a big roll of paper and cuts up into little pieces. 

journal entry 1

Hi i'm Earl, king of the red woods. I've lost friends out here though because evil humans cut them down and take them to their dungeons for sacrifices i think. I could just be over thinking the situation but either way i don't like it. i don't want to be cut down mainly because im the perfect tree with my size and and im 100% healthy. I see one of the humans vehicular contraptions coming my way so im gonna go, hopefully they're not coming for me.
