I Build Walls In the Poem " I Build Walls", is probably talking about someone who is really upset, and the wall is hiding how that person really feels. The person looks happy, but inside that person is very upset. In the poem the wall is just a blocker. Two lines that I thought were important are: " Walls that say I shall not yield or reveal who I am or what I feel." I think it is important because it's basically saying that person can't tell or show anyone how that person really feels.

Sometimes I build walls. When I build walls I do it because either my mom yelled at me or my phone got taken away and I become very upset. When I go to school, I make my self look happy even though I'm actually really upset. The narrator believes that having walls all the time is not a good idea. I know because in the poem the narrator says, " walls meant to be fortresses Are prisons after all."

In the book The Outsiders, Dally built walls by becoming angry instead of showing sadness. He did this because he was upset Johnny died. Dally never shows feelings because he is supposed to be the though one. He built walls Johnny died and Johnny was the kid brother to the whole gang. Dally said, " oh, dammit Johnny, don' t die, please don't die..." After that Dally bolted through the door and down the hall.

I think " Walls" is an inspiring poem that tells people that sometimes it's not always good to hide your feelings. Yes, there are times when you should hide your feelings, because it could be something very personal that you don't want anybody to know about. For example, maybe somebody from that person's family died and that person doesn't want to talk about it because it will just make them more sad talking about it. Having walls is sometimes a good thing and bad thing.
