Answers
Answer:
A tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height. In wider definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos are also trees. Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight. Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. Trees have been in existence for 370 million years. It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world.
From throwing the tree poem
The poem is about nature and in it, Hardy questions technology. There is of alot personification within it, for example, 'the proud trees that bears the death-mark on its side'. The purpose of this is to make the trees seem like they are alive so that the reader can empathise more towards it being cut. It also shows Hardy's relation towards nature. He is so close to it that when nature is being harmed it angers him.
