It's about how people builds their relationships like a building, a scaffolding helps with the structures over time to build trust. Ultimately, it leads to a relationship that stands like a building in itself without support. Heaney emphasizes the importance of trust among people through five fairly rhyming poems with a rhyme scheme of AA BB CC. The author also uses techniques such as metaphor, alliteration such as solid stone and bridges breaking between, and personification like the line Old bridges breaking between you and me. The "mason" in the first line of the poem is a metaphor that suggests people who share the same interests and are determined to build relationships. The third line, "Make sure that the planks won't slip at busy points" can be interpreted as meaning that if there are difficulties with each other, the two of us will work together to solve the problem and the relationship will not break. "Ladders" also represents an important step of the relationship and to "tighten bolted joints means building mutual trust.  Also in the line, "And yet all this comes down when the job is done/ Showing off the walls of sure stone" shows that the strong structure of relationship remains even after the scaffolding is gone. The line "Old bridges breaking between you and me" symbolizes misunderstanding and conflicts in the relationship however in the line "Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall/ Confident that we have built our wall" is the conclusion that all misunderstandings will be resolved and all struggles will be weathered by a solid foundation of relationships such as scaffolding.

By Mikylla Torres

As the sun shines through my window 
I opened my eyes thinking I'm here 
Memories flashed as I starts to roam 
This place has not even changed a bit  

In a place where I used to go 
Where the sounds of waves echoes my ears 
Where my feet are buried in the sand 
Where my heart and mind feels at eased 

Together with our family 
We gather here to enjoy summer 
In this place where I always come back 
Till my next summer vacation]]> 2022-02-10 17:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mikyllatorres/e6ako2qocrkgqkl5/wish/2040767934 Enrichment 3 mikyllatorres https://padlet.com/mikyllatorres/e6ako2qocrkgqkl5/wish/2040778119 Home

In where I can find peace 
The view is breathtaking 
I seem to be amazed 
Where the breeze is so nice 
 
Fresh air with fresh fishes 
No signal, no worries 
No need to surf the net 
Coz’ my time was well spent 
 
In my favorite vacation place 
Happily spending time together 
All united with my family 
My hometown, in Lawigan it is!
