The+house+is+shut+and+still,

In the poem, "The House on the Hill," by Edwin Arlington Robinson, he describes a house on a hill that is very rundown, "The house is shut and still," Could have many meanings. One meaning is that the house is actually seized, and no one lives there. I think this is true because it is a very straight forward explanation. The second meaning that had more depth is that it could have been a family that has fallen a part. I think this is true because through out my life I have been taught that family is the most important thing, and when you don't have it anymore you wish you cherished it a little more. This shows me that whoever the poem is about probably had a family separation, and is starting to really have and effect on him or her. From the evidence I have provided, I have formed my idea about this quote, and a partial part about what the poem is about.
