Greetings readers! You have just clicked to read an essay I wrote about the poem "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost. This essay is apart of my grade 10 literature class, it is with a new teacher if you have read the grade 9 ones. This would mean a new and shorter format but don't worry, it would have the same quality. Now! What is this essay about you might ask. This essay is going to cover the writing techniques used by Frost to uncover the truth behind his theme. If you are ready, please sit back, relax, and enjoy reading. Thank you!
Knowledge and culture are passed down and forged into society's mindset. Robert Frost, the writer of "Mending Wall," built on that basis and hid his point of view throughout the poem. To distinguish the theme of people's unchanging mindset Robert Frost's effectively stood against in "Mending Wall," one must look at the repetition and the break-in style written into the poem.
People's unchanging mindsets are represented using repetition. Frost used the phrase: Good fences make good neighbors and Something there is that doesn't love a wall, twice throughout the entire piece. The neighbor's and people's unchanging mindset is described in the first phrase. On the other hand, the speaker's motivation to change is shown in the second phrase. Ultimately, Frost tried to convey his will against the idea of people’s rigid ideology by using repetition and making the phrases stand out.
The form and break-in form a poem take can symbolize the theme hidden behind it. Throughout the beginning of the piece, no form of style and structure is visible. Although, towards the end, Frost broke the pattern by adding a rhyme. Frost hid the encouragement of change behind this syntax interval and showed his opposing perspective against the theme. What's shown is the importance of the forwarding movement humanity seems to reject and finally unchain society from it.
