Answer 2

Answer:

The poem ‘On Killing a Tree’ gives a graphic description of the total destruction of a tree. Man realises that neither a simple jab of the knife nor hacking and chopping can kill a tree. It is hard to kill a tree. In order to kill a tree, it has to be uprooted. A tree is harmless. It gives us oxygen, shades and fruits. Ironically man glorifies his cruelty on trees upon which his survival depends. This poem highlights the destruction of nature by man and this must be checked.
