Question

The poem "The Mending Wall" by Robert Frost and the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd share a common universal symbol. In a paragraph or two, explain how the symbol means the same thing in both stories and contrast how the poems use that symbol in different ways.

Answer 1

Both poem and the song describes the theme of loneliness and companionship. In the beginning a character is introduced of loneliness and staring at the cold. I guess the both literary texts describe how the boy should encourage himself to get out there in the world but in the end he ends up being comfortable with his own wall built. But has the desire to discover new worlds.
