UNIT 2:  Heights of Harmony

Chapter - 1: Mending Wall
1.    The poem ‘Mending Wall’ presents the paradox in ‘Something there is that doesn’t love a wall’ and ‘good fences make good neighbours.’ Both seem to be equally true but contrasting points of view. Substantiate your own view on this.    
Answer: To be frank, all organisms except humans make use of the resources in nature as is prescribed by nature. The case of humans is different. Humans consider nature wholly as their own. They think they are the only inheritors for the earth. They believe that the whole of nature is their own. They forget about their oneness with the natural world, and them about the oneness that should pracil among themselves. So they started building walls thus separating some of them from the others. Now the questions arises whether these walls are needed. They are the products of being loveless. That is why the forces of nature try to pull down the walls.
    So the lines ‘Something there is that doesn’t love the wall’ become meaningful.
    But at the same time, non-cooperation and selfishness have gone so deep rooted in society that people are used to having walls. Let’s hope for a time when humanity becomes civilised enough when the whole of the humans become ready to pull down all the walls among them.

    True Friendship
    ‘Good friends care for each other…close friends understand each other, but TRUE FRIENDS stay forever…beyond words, beyond distance, beyond time…!’
     Many of us have friends in our lives over the years. Some friends we make as children and then lose contact as we grow older.  Other friends we make as adults and stay in touch with as long as we are in close nearness to and it is convenient to keep in touch but then over time one moves away or busy schedules slowly pull us apart and we start to lose touch. Those friendships fall into the ‘good friends’ or ‘close friends’ as the opening quote cites. But then there is that last group of friends – those we call true friends – they are those we have a mutual caring about, and we understand each other’s hearts. These are our true friends.
    Amigo Brothers Antonio and Felix are my close friends. They are amazing boxers and just so happen to be best friends as well. They’ve trained together for years and developed different fighting styles. The Golden Gloves Championship Tournament is approaching, and both boys are trying to qualify for the competition. In order to go to the Golden Gloves, they must fight each other to make it to the next stage.  Whoever wins will compete in the championship.
    The best friends promise that they will treat each other as opponents but won’t let this fight get in the way of their friendship. Of course, that proves difficult in reality. During the fight, Antonio and Felix fight hard. They are each determined, and they even keep fighting after the referee rings the bell. The boys realise that this fight is hurting their friendship and decide to leave the ring
together instead of hearing the result. This is true friendship! True friends just do that – they help us grow and change for the better.  They support us in good times and bad.
     ‘A strong friendship doesn’t need daily
conversation, doesn’t always need togetherness as long as the relationship lives in the heart, true friends will never part.’ When someone is genuinely your true friend, they leave an impression on your heart that will never go away, not with time and not with
distance. True friends secure a place in your heart forever.
    I am forever grateful for the true friends in my life, thank you so much for being my true friends!
        Love,
       Anitha
