Question

summary of On killing a tree​

Answer 1

Answer:

The poet sensitizes the reader and highlights the fact that trees are living things. He equates trees with humans to convey that trees should not be cut because destroying trees is just like killing a human being. A tree does not die by merely cutting because it regrows from where it is cut. If it has to be destroyed, then it has to be uprooted.

Answer 2

The poet signifies that in order to kill a tree we must uproot the roots of a tree and not a simple jab will kill a tree.
