Lines from Mending Wall by Robert Frost that build tension include these:
- And makes gaps even two can pass abreast
- We keep the wall between us as we go
- "Stay where you are until our backs are turned!"
These lines build tension as it shows the disconnect between the speaker and an unnamed presence also described throughout the poem as well as shows intimidation or hostility in the last line.
Hope this helps!
What do u mean??? I dont understand the question
In this case, the purpose of the authors with this passage is to emphasize the rivalry between Jack and Ralph, this is shown as the author explains the differences between Jack and Ralph ideas about survival. This passage shows Ralph would us commonsense, logic and civilized principles to survive through "the world of longing" (what is real) and the "baffled common sense". On the other hand, Jack would use more barbaric strategies such as "hunting" or "fierce exhilaration".
These opposite points of view are confronted during the story as Jack becomes the antagonist and a barbaric leader. While Ralph attempts to be the civilized leader of the group.
