Question

Why has Amma been compared to the roots of a giant oak tree?​

Answer 1

Answer:

, when the entire family decided to migrate, no amount of force or persuasion could make the Amma of Ismat Chughtai’s story Jadein (Roots) leave her haveli. “Every effort was made, but Amma did not budge from her place, she was like the roots of a giant oak that remains standing in the face of a fierce storm”. But then after everyone had left, the giant oak swayed in distress thinking of her near ones who were in exile and perhaps in a state of distress.
