I Build Walls

"I Build Walls" is about how people build walls in their mind so their emotions don't show. The lines that tell you this are the ones that say "Truly Touch" and "Those I love very much." These lines are important because they led me to believe that these walls hide emotions.

The person that I know builds walls to make it so that no one knows how he really feels when he is not involved, This person's walls have never been infiltrated by any other person yet ,but it looks like he will no longer be able to withstand the will of people. So his walls may be brought down soon. The narrator in this poem has determined that it is nor good to build walls because he called them prisons.

The character that I have chosen is Dally. Dally has built walls to make it look like he was really tough. He has been hiding hi feelings from Johnny because he is Johnny's role model. These walls were made when Dally was sent to prison. Dally's walls were destroyed after Johnny died and when Johnny was at deaths door.

I think that walls are necessary when they are appropriate or when they are needed. People have to build walls when they need to hold their feelings in from someone superior. For example, if you are mad that your teacher has yell at you for no reason, you should keep your emotions in because if you don't you might get into trouble.
