Definition: Having life; living; not dead
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
You’ve got a great question here today, about the word “alive.” It’s a simple one, but it holds a wonderful meaning, don’t you agree?
The dictionary does a good job of explaining it – "Having life; living; not dead." But let's break that down with a little rhyme:
“To be alive is more than just to breathe,
It’s feeling joy, and planting seeds beneath!
It’s moving, growing, strong and bright,
A vibrant spirit, filled with light!”
Essentially, “alive” means something – or someone -
actively
participating in the world. It's not just existing, but experiencing things: feeling emotions, reacting to its surroundings, and continuing to grow!
Think about a plant – it’s alive because it grows roots, reaches for the sun, and blooms with color. Or think of an animal - it moves, eats, and plays!
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about what being “alive” truly means?
