What is so important about mending a wall? Robert frost a down to earth, phenomenon has used his supernatural skills to write a poem which may seem to be a simple, ordinary poem, yet what lays hidden behind the veils may be unraveled. That is the spiritual world that you and me may learn to understand the philosophical basis of human nature that provokes the human revolution. Believe it or not this poem was ingeniously devised by Robert Frost to articulately open up a world of ideas that acumen imagination and its complexities. That is what I will be elaborating on in terms of textual evidence.

The use of conversation and the thoughts of the narrator reflect the poet's own thoughts. In line thirty to line thirty-five, the narrator questions the purpose of a wall. He has an open disposition and does not understand the need to “wall in” or “wall out” (line 33) anything or anyone.

The Great Wall of China is often regarded as one of the man-made wonders of the world. The Great Wall of China was constructed by two early Chinese dynasties; the Qin Dynasty (221 BCE-206 BCE) and the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). Emperor Qin was considered to be cruel and brutal. Cruel rulers invite rebellion and in 206 BCE, his successors were overthrown by the Han Dynasty. Both dynasties shared a common concern, border security. The wall was constructed over a period of 2,500 years and stretch to be 5,488 miles long. The wall was built to increase security, impress visitors and enhance the glory of china. However the wall also required much sacrifice on the part of the Chinese people. Overall did the benefits outweigh the costs? There were both costs and benefits into building the Great Wall of China, but the benefits outweigh the cost. The great walls benefits outweighed the costs by providing protection, create new towns

Fashioned as a kind of circular maze (the last words on side four begin a sentence completed by the first words on side one), The Wall offers no exit except madness from a world malevolently bent on crippling its citizens at every level of endeavor. The process -- for those of Waters' generation, at least -- begins at birth with the smothering distortions of mother love. Then there are some vaguely remembered upheavals from the wartime Blitz:

In “Mending Wall” (A Blank verse) the plot is how two neighbours have to repair their stone wall that separates their two properties every year. “The Wall” had been destroyed by winter freezing because the Ice filled that gaps and then when

Robert W. Hamilton, a British archaeologist, carried out excavations against the north wall of the Old City of Jerusalem almost 70 years ago from the years 1937-1938. Hamilton began several test soundings in order to determine the age of the accumulations at various points and to fix the approximate levels at the time of the last major reconstruction – in the middle of the sixteenth century A.D by Suleiman the Magnificent. The wall of the Old City of Jerusalem was rebuilt in the sixteenth century by the Ottoman Turkish ruler Suleiman the Magnificent. As such, Hamilton decided to determine the age of the accumulations of earlier construction sites by cleaning up the outside area of the North Wall of Jerusalem and Hamilton hoped the

Throughout time walls become beaten, broken, and worn down; and from start, to finish, they observe it all. Walls are inanimate objects, yet they have the ability to watch life flourish or deteriorate around them. From BC to the future walls will continue to possess the power in watching life go on. They remain on the sidelines as a bystander to life’s constant change. Additionally, they were able to witness religion, community, and civil rights unfold into modern day headlines. Walls have eyes with the ability to see all; they are the only visible structure that has witnessed humanity’s day to day life throughout history.

The Berlin Wall was much more than a geographical border. On either side are two ways of understanding politics, culture, ideology, humanity itself were consolidated. On November 9, 1989, when it collapsed peacefully, Eastern Europe had to reinvent itself, and West found that not everything was a gulag on the other side of the Iron Curtain. The ruins of the wall today are a scar that has something of a symbol: the wound in history have left major totalitarianisms of the twentieth century (Taylor).

One reason that was hindering the speaker to try to get through the wall was fear. He listed several ways he could escape but it seemed doubtful and unsafe to him. The lines “there are methods of torture/for extracting clues…there are zepplins/helicopter, rockets, bombs/bettering rams/armies with trumpets/whose all at one blast/shatters the foundations,” shows imagery of violence which

The narrator is a person who understands and respects what others think, but sometimes may question their reasoning (Lines: 28-33). The narrator decided to help his neighbor rebuild the wall between them even though he disagreed with it. Since the wall has always between their properties, the neighbor believe the wall should stay there (Lines: 40-44). In the narrator’s present circumstance, he must stay on his own side of the wall, while at the same time, helping his neighbor rebuild the wall because his neighbor believes the wall should stay (Lines: 13-15). The narrator believes the wall serves no purpose since it keeps nothing contained on his property, and nothing contained on his neighbor’s property (Lines: 23-25, 28-33). The narrator

The wall tore families apart for decades. After it was torn down, families found each other after years apart. Mostly everyone was happy at the walls destruction. People missing family members or friends felt it more personally than others. But even if their family was together most Germans loved the new peace and freedom.

In some people’s eyes the Great Wall of China is viewed as an effective defense while others think of it as being ineffective. The Great Wall of China was made-up of numerous walls and fortifications. It was a barrier in Northern China running west to east for 13,171 miles ending at the Bohai Gulf. The several walls were built, eventually joined together and called the Great Wall. Its purpose was to protect the Chinese states and empires against the invasion of various nomads of the Eurasian Steppe. So that one can draw an opinion about the effectiveness of the wall, in the following paragraph lets examine the Great Wall effectiveness.

The use of symbolism in the poem “Mending Wall” expresses the new age American way of thinking in contrast to the social tradition of the old-world. In the poem, the speaker and his neighbour meat ritual every year in the spring to make repairs to the wall that divides them and their property. It could be argued that the holes in the wall are a symbol for the deterioration of old-world traditions. The speaker says in regards to the holes in the wall “No one has seen them made or heard them made, But at spring mending-time we find them there.” Everything will erode with time. Whether it is as simple as the stones of a wall, or as grand and seemingly untouchable as the traditions or culture of

     “Mending Wall'; takes up where the theme of “The Tuft of Flowers'; leaves off. In “Mending Wall';, two neighbors repair the wall that divides their property. The speaker realizes that questioning the existing wall is senseless, but he likes to view the task of repairing the wall playfully. Frost writes, “Oh, just another kind of out-door game'; (28). As if playing a game, the speaker tends to his side of the field, and his neighbor to the opposing side. Frost writes, “Spring is the mischief in me'; (28). By this, the speaker knows that the acceptance of the wall is a way of life, and that his questions against the wall will produce no substantial answers. Wallace writes, “Frost knows as well how radical and difficult it is to “take in'; another, and yet maintain a sense of one’s own and the other’s distinctness'; (227). The statement encompasses the entire theme of
