why does it take so much time to kill a tree?
Answers
Answer:
For a tree to be killed, the root has to be uprooted, and it has to be scorched and choked in sun and air. This process takes much time and it requires a lot of effort. ... The tree grows to its full size by consuming nutrients from the earth, feeding upon its crust absorbing years of light, air and water.
Answer:
It takes a lot of time and strength to kill a tree because it grows slowly and rises out of the earth by absorbing years of sunlight air and water. So, it is not easy to kill a tree with a single stroke of a knife. The tree has deep roots which draws its sap from the earth. It gives rise to tiny twigs and miniature boughs. We hack and chop to kill a tree. But hacking and chopping cannot destroy it completely as green twigs are sure to emerge from the bleeding bark. The miniature boughs (branches) will grow from close to the ground and grow back to its normal size.
Here the poet uses imagery of violence like cutting, jabbing, bleeding contrasted with the spreading of leaves and boughes.
