Question

the poet says no in the beginning of the third stanza what does he mean by this class 9​

Answer 1

The poet said No to stress on the fact that just by chopping of the tree it would not destroy it. The tree would grow again and preserve its previous size.

EXPLANATION:

• The poet sensitises the reader and stresses the fact that trees also are living beings. He likens trees with living beings to express that trees must not be cut since killing trees is like killing humans. Trees do not die by just cutting since they regrow from where they have been cut. If trees were to be destroyed, then they must be uprooted.
• One must separate trees from the Earth that holds them. The tree roots fix the tree with the Earth’s soil. From there, the hidden and sensitive tree part that is, the roots must be detached. The roots are damp and white in colour. By cutting and chopping the trees’ bark into several pieces is not enough to kill trees.
• The tree’s that is cut out gives sap akin to a human being bleeding. Slowly, this will heal and from there new branches would start re-growing. The minute the tree is uprooted, then slowly it wilts and dries up with the wind and heat’s action. The trunk becomes brown, twisted and would harden. Eventually, the tree would die in this manner.

Answer 2

Answer:

‘No’ is used to emphasize the perspective that chopping or hacking will not be sufficient for killing a tree.
