In this poem it talks about a little girl named Sophia Burns. Sophia talks about how playing on an a boys team affects how she plays. One piece of this poem that I really enjoy is that she is the only girl on her team and if any boys are mean she will bring the best game she’s got and prove the boys wrong. Another feature that I dig about Sophia´s poem it that she really tries to tell everyone how much she enjoys hockey‚ and that even if boys are mean‚ it will effect how she plays in a positive way

While any driver stopped by a police officer would feel a normal amount

***** ******** October 20‚ 2011 Professor ****** Poem Analysis Mending Wall I chose this poem because the wall reminds me of my personal struggles with other people. When people annoy or bother me I instantly put up an imaginary wall between me and that person. They ask me to stop ignoring them and I just shrug their request‚ just like in this poem. I decide that the wall between us is better up than down because I was afraid of getting mad and saying things that I would regret later on.
