Answers
Answer:
A simple jab with a knife, or hacking and chopping cannot kill a tree, because the tree will regenerate. To kill a tree, the roots have to be pulled out of the anchoring earth, exposed to the sunlight and air for scorching and choking.
Answer:
Explanation:
A tree is a poetry in nature as described by the poet in the poem "On Killing A Tree". The poem shows that even if the tree is hacked and chopped and left as such and the root of the tree is neither dug nor injured, the root will continue to provide nourishment to the stump of the tree. This nourishment will ensure that the stump heals and slowly it will get covered with tender twigs appearing on of its surface. If these twigs are not pruned or hacked or chopped, they will keep on growing and eventually, the tree will grow to its original size. The wounded bark of the tree will get healed and the tree will be as big as it was earlier. The threat to its life will be overcome and hacking or chopping will fail to kill the tree. The root that is ensconced in the earth will rescue and resuscitate the tree and help it to regain its lost glory.
