How do the views of the speaker's neighbor in "Mending Wall" help develop its central idea?

English
1 answer:
lisov135 [29]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A: The neighbor's belief in the need for a wall is why the two men must go through the trouble of rebuilding this one.

Explanation:

The speaker in the poem Mending Walls is apparently opposed to the idea of building a wall. To him, it is needless because walls simply serve the purpose of keeping animals or intruders away. In this case, there were no animals so he did not see the need for these walls. His neighbor was opposed to the idea because of his traditional views of the matter. To him, Good Fences make for good neighbors.

Since he is not receptive to the idea of having no walls, the speaker must cooperate with him to build the wall.

Drag each restrictive or nonrestrictive element into the correct category My uncle, a talented painter, is coming to visit tomor
Andreyy89

I looked this question up and found that the underlined elements are:

a talented painter

at the top of the stairs

who is very excited

that I baked today

Answer:

Nonrestrictive:

a talented painter

who is very excited

Restrictive:

at the top of the stairs

that I baked today

Explanation:

The elements that are placed between commas are nonrestrictive. They are not essential for the speaker to express meaning in the sentence. If removed, they would technically not make that much of a difference, the most important part of the message being conveyed anyway.

On the other hand, restrictive elements are not placed between commas. They are essential for the meaning of the sentence to be complete. For instance, in the sentence "He will stay in the room at the top of the stairs," the restrictive element determines which room the uncle will be staying in. If we remove it, the sentence could refer to any room.
