In the poem, the speaker and his neighbor meet each year to repair a wall. Describe a time when you had to set or respect a boundary with a friend, family member, or classmate. How did it help or hurt your connection with that person?

 

    A long time ago in my life, I lived with a different family in a rental house. We lived in the same three bedroom house for a few months so I got pretty cramped in there. We had to set a few boundaries in the household to keep things organized. Like on getting dressed in the living room, after a few incidents happened. Though that was pretty much all the boundaries, so it didn't affect the relationship too much. By the end we did end up becoming really close, probably because of a few boundaries.


We did a Common Lit.


I learned of a new story.
