Hello friends today we are discuss this question, the question is -“Why it is not quite easy to kill a tree?
“On Killing a Tree’ depicts the process of destroying a tree. Gieve Patel declares that the process of killing a tree is a long one. A simple jab of the knife or hacking and chopping are not enough to kill a tree. It requires a lot of effort. The tree withstands all the blows brought upon it by human beings. Withstanding all the torture and pain, the tree heals itself and green twigs appear again. Therefore to destroy the tree completely, one needs to uproot it from the earth which acts like an anchor for the tree providing it essential nutrients. The final role is of the sun and air which will then turn the uprooted tree brown, hard, twisted and withered.
