What Is The Tone Of Mending Wall
Walls are like guardians for a person's privacy. Walls are built to hid away from society and to either keep people in or out of someone’s life. They come in different sizes, color, and shape.

This means that the dogs can see the rabbits, making them their prey and wanting to attack and bring them down.
