Question

read the following paragraph, identify the following paragraph: thus, in robert frost’s “mending wall,” one can see evidence of the employment of an extended metaphor and diction to illustrate the theme that man’s tendency to obstruct change must be acknowledged and broken down in order to advance. as the speaker and his neighbor can represent almost any person in the world, this theme is important to human society because it is applicable to everyone. although these imaginary walls may provide a sense of security, they are unnatural and detrimental to man. for civilization to advance, it is necessary for people to be willing to see their own inclinations against change, and to fight that fear for the cause of progress. 〇 introduction 〇 first body paragraph 〇 second body paragraph 〇 third body paragraph 〇 conclusion
