Mending Wall,which is a poem in North of Boston,Frost's second book of poetry,is one of his most popular poems.It is a poem about two neighbours who fix a rock wall that lies between their homes."I"want to destroy the wall,and the "neighbour"wants to leave it standing. We just can't get enough of walls,can we?People love boundaries.We love them when we're little,protecting our precious toys from our troublesome brothers and sisters.As we get older,we begin to throw around the gentle term "personal space".In college,we really learn how the idea of"My house is your house"doesn't always result in happy roommate relationships. After we become adults with good jobs and a lot of cool things,we often put up fences,gates, walls,or doors to protect our stuff and keep the peace. Walls help us protect ourselves,but their downside is that they often keep people from communicating with each other.Mending Wall makes us take a look at how we use our walls and boundaries,and why we use them the way we do.This poem sends a wake-up call to the universe There are walls between our hearts. 1.What can we learn about Robert Frost?
