In his essay "On Liberty", John Stuart Mill stated that "human nature is not a machine, but a tree."

The quote follows as, “Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.” He on individual freedom elucidates his concept.

The above line is quoted from chapter three wherein Mill discusses whether unpopular views held by the people should be allowed to act on them without facing legal penalty and being made social outcasts. Further discusses an outright nuisance and harm can be eradicated by implementing limited actions of the law. In addition, elaborating that the humans must need to experiment under different conditions of living as they are fallible.  Therefore, in order to achieve personal and social progress, individual liberty must be expressed.

The Cay is a children's novel and book one of the Cay series, written by American author Theodore Taylor, and published in 1969. 11-year-old Phillip Enright and his mother board the S.S. Hato to Virginia to escape Curaçao, which has been surrounded by German submarines. The ship is torpedoed, and Phillip, blinded by a blow to the head, is stranded at sea with an old black man called Timothy and a cat called Stew Cat. Initially Phillip, heeding his mother’s racist warnings, is full of distain for Timothy. They come ashore on a cay – a low sandbank. Here Timothy teaches Phillip to look after himself, and their friendship grows. Timothy dies, and a devastated Phillip is rescued, along with Stew Cat. The novel was awarded the Jane Addams Children's Book Award in 1970, but due to controversy over the racism in the novel, the award was rescinded. Opposing this, Taylor described The Cay as "a subtle plea for better race relations and more understanding.”
