Remove the Wall
I would also choose Mending wall because it's almost about making a change. And it's reality and experiential. It's about a wall that basically doesn't have to be there. One side wants to keep tradition and be a friend to his neighbor because that's what his father taught him. The other side is like scared of change. Either way change is going to happen. But i really like this poem. Making a change is good.

I also liked this poem even though it was a long one it was interesting to read. I also think that change is good and that this poem shows characteristics on the Modern period.
ReplyDeleteThis poem was too long, I hated it. But if I had to pick a side, I'd pick the tradition one. I'm one of those people who like to keep things how they are and pass it on thru many generations you know?
ReplyDeleteI think this was theleast modern, considering that it was way too long and not as simple to read or make connections with. Good points though
ReplyDeleteTrue. I also chose the mending wall because it was a perfect example for the Modern period of Lit. The way the poet describes the attitudes towards the new changes is fascinating...
