I Build Walls
The poem " I build Walls" means that someone is holding back their emotions because of someone else. The reason might be for bullying. If you are getting bullied than you don't want to tell someone because it is possible that you could get hurt even more. The most important lines of the poem to me are "Walls that hide" and "Walls that cover inside", Because it shows the reader that the person is building up emotions and hiding it. The person I know that builds up walls is my friend. I think she builds up walls because she likes to be inside and hold in her emotions. I think the narrator think it is bad idea because you need to let out emotions and open your feelings to people they trust. When the says " Walls that never let me touch," I believe that they are talking about that you will never truly touch the world if you keep all your emotions in and not let them out. The character Dally, from //The Outsiders//, builds walls by not showing his friends that he can care for something that is really important to him. Dally is hiding his feelings from the gang. Dally is hiding his feelings from the gang because Dally is a tough guy that only cares for himself. The thing that caused the walls to form was all the anger that he lets out on them and he doesn't want to show them that he really cares for his friend. Dally is successful in breaking them down by showing his feelings toward his friend ,Johnny, when he passes away. I have many opinions about walls. They can be great at some times and bad at other times. There are times where you need to build your wall because you could be uncomfortable with the person and don't trust them. When you think you are ready to break down the wall then you can. Some people just need the wall to help them but i believe you need to break it down at some point to open yourself up to others.
