    In the poem ’Mending Wall’ by Robert Frost‚ the poet considers the value or otherwise‚ of boundaries. In contemplating whether good fences make good neighbors‚ he is including all barriers and boundaries in that - including walls. He is concerned that the saying may be becoming so popular - and spouted so often - that it is fast becoming trite. He wonders whether properties are always of sufficient threat to each other as to always demand some kind of barrier. Apples are no threat to cattle for example

Through imagery‚ diction and tone‚ and symbolism Frost conveys a double meaning of both the literal wall and the figurative one. At the beginning of the poem

    Behind the Wheel I slid into the cream pleather bucket seat‚ strapped the old black seatbelt across my chest‚ adjusted the mirrors‚ put one of the two keys for the vehicle into the ignition‚ stepped on the clutch‚ turned the key and felt the rumble and shake of the snorting engine. I set the CD face plate in its niche and tuned to my favorite station. I gazed over at my dad thinking‚ “I did it! I had purchased my car on my own!” I could barely hear my thoughts over the sound of the engine‚ but my
