I Build Walls "I Build Walls" is a poem about how some people act differently in front of other people. Walls are when you or another person, may not open up to certain people, but they may open up to another person. The two lines I feel are most important are "walls that cover whats inside" and "walls that even block my eyes from the tears I might have cried." I feel that those lines are most important because there are so many people who resist crying when they really need to.

One of my friends builds walls. They build walls because in front of certain people they don't like to show some of there feelings. I believe that walls are a good idea because in some situations you might embarrass yourself. I know this because I've seen a lot of people show their feelings, then afterwards they feel really embarrassed. In the poem it says "walls that stare or smile or look away." This means that you might not show a smile, stare, or look away.

In the book //The Outsiders //, Soda had walls. In front of other people he acts all cool, like in front of the socs. He opened up to Darry and Ponyboy about how they need to stop doing some things. Soda was hiding his feelings from Johnny when he asked if something was wrong, and he said no. He had these walls he didn't have the best day. Soda breaks down his walls a lot.

I think that walls can be a good thing and a bad thing because they can show feelings, and embarrass you sometimes. Yes, I believe that we need to build them, so we can prevent embarrassment.
