"Mending Wall"

In the poem "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost conflict between neighbors is the message. Some people want their privacy and build up walls while others find walls to be a sign that they don't like you. "Good fences make good neighbors"(lines 26, 45) is repeated because the speaker feels that fences help to keep your life private and so no one can invade your space. Sometimes people just want to keep their life personal and to be able to be themselves and not be judged. Fences are also to keep things safe, like people use them so their children and pets are safe from getting lost, stolen, or hurt. "Something there that doesn't love a wall"(1, 35) is like asking who wouldn't live a wall? They keep things safe and they help keep privacy and from people intuding. Some people are offended by walls, it's like saying that they don't like you or that they don't want you to get to know them. Walls also make it hard to get to know someone because walls are like big blockades and don't all people in. I know in my neighborhood people don't have fences but at the same time people are good about not getting to everyones buisiness and keeping to themselves when appropriate, but we also get along and hang out at times. I feel that fences are good and that sometimes are needed and people shouldn't take offense.
