Question

‘Chief Seattle’s Speech’ and ‘Heart of a Tree’ though both are radically different, both touch upon the theme of ‘Nature’. Explain and illustrate through examples from the text to support this claim.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both of the chapters that are The Heart of the Tree and The Chief Seattle’s Speech advocates the environmental issues and the impact that environment has on the sustenance of life on earth.

Explanation:

• The Heart of the Tree is a poem written by an American author and poet Henry Cuyler Bunner. In this poem, the poet is planting a tree and expresses the importance of planting trees.

• The poet says that when we plant a tree we are not only planting a tree but a guarantee for a safe future to our coming generations and that's why the poet encourages each one of us to do more about saving our earth by planting more and more trees.

• Chief Seattle's Speech is a short story based on real-life incidents. It is based on a speech given by the chief of a Native American tribe named as Chief Seattle.

• He gave the speech when the American government wanted him to sign a land deal to buy lands from the Native American tribes.

• This speech is powerful and moving because in this he pleads his fellow tribes to take care of their homeland and also urges the world to be more considerate about the native rights and the environment.

• Both of these chapters show us what humans have done to the earth and how we all should do our best to protect the earth from further damage.
