Answer 1

On Killing a Tree - Gieve Patel

• The poem "On Killing a Tree" gives a brief encounter of the barbarism of killing a tree to its furthest root.

• There are words such as --- killing, jab, knife, hack, chop, bleeding, pulled out, roped, tied, snapped out, browning, hardening, twisting, withering, which suggest of violence on trees.

• The poem is not a violence poem; it is a poetic expression explaining the unhearted task to kill a tree.
