Answer 1

Answer:

In On Killing a Tree, Give Patel gives us a graphic picture of man’s killing of the tree. He says that hacking a tree with a knife or an axe will not harm it. The bleeding bark will heal and the tree will grow again to its former size. To be killed a tree must be uprooted completely. The poet hints at rampant deforestation and through the very visual representation of the murder of a treewishs to communicate to the readers the dangers of deforestation. The poet considers the tree as a living organism which has the right to live like any other creatures on earth. But man is killing trees with utmost cruelty and callousness. The tree represents Nature and the poem also suggests that nature is indestructible. The tree could also be a symbol of mankind. Despite wars and other destructive activities, humankind will not easily come to end.

Is this enough!!!

Answer:-

On killing a Tree by Gieve Patel:-

• The poem describes a negligence towards the trees.
• The writer has written in great Disappointment about cutting of the trees.
• The first line highlights that to cut a tree, it hardly takes some time , a jab of knife can cut off a tree.
• Next, he tells that the tree grows slowly spreading its roots under the Soil and also, growing steadily up. It takes years to take a tree its shape, to grow its leaves and leprous or huge branches that what you see in roadsides, streets etc.
• And also tells that it takes little time to kill it rather than to grow it.
• A single snap a knife cannot kill the tree, as it is very hard. The bark which you will cut will heal off very quickly. So, it says that the tree cutters use harder and bitter technique to kill a tree.
• The most bitter way is to pull of its roots, from the soil or earth cave, as said. As the roots are most sensitive part and hidden part, it needs to be pulled out.
• Then the tree will die in scorching sunlight, sarcastically points out it to the people about the causality towards the trees.
