Question

write the summary of raintree book class 8 chapter on killing a tree poem. I am giving poem also. I will report for incomplete and inconvenent answers and mark brainlist for correct answer. I have increased point to 23 It takes much time to kill a tree, Not a single jab of the knife Will do it. It has grown slowly consuming the earth, Rising out of it, feeding Upon its crust, absorbing Years of sunlight,air,water, And out of its leprous hide sprouting leaves so hack and chop but this alone won,t do it. Not so much pain The bleeding bark will heal And from close to the ground Will rise curled green twigs, Miniature boughs Which if unchecked will expand again To former size. No, The root is to be pulled out- snapped out Or pulled out entirely, Out from the earth-cave, And the strength of the tree exposed The source,white and wet, The most sensitive, hidden For years inside the earth. Then the matter Of scorching and choking In the sun and air, Browning, hardening, Twisting, withering, And then it is done

Answer 1

Answer:

On Killing a Tree” is a sensitive poem. The poet persuades the reader not to destroy trees and equates it with “killing” a human being. He says that a plant takes sunlight, water, air and nutrients from the soil to gradually become a huge tree.
