What is speaker"s view about walls? What do people "wall in or wall out" in your mind?(4 points)
【正确答案】正确答案：Mending Wall is about whether it is wise to erect wall and other types of barriers. To the speaker, he seems to suggest that walls stand as obstacles to progress and social concord. Tearing the walls down can open the way for communication, friendship and unity. I share the speaker"s view about the wall. As the neighbor insists mending the wall, and his reason is the old saying "Good fences make good neighbors" , so the wall is significant to him as it provides a sense of security and privacy, which can be "walled in". At the same time, the wall is also the barrier between neighbors, so what people "wall out" is free communication and friendship.
