Walls, Walls, Everywhere a Wall
There are so many walls in this world many are visible, but not all of them are, we may not see them, but we all know that a certain wall has been erected.

But it was really just a small part of a much larger wall called the Iron Curtain. The Berlin wall symbolized the separation of East from West with its menacing parapets and threatening barbed wire and its steel roots running down into the sewers. It was made up of concrete segments with a height of 11 feet, usually with a concrete tube on top of it. Behind that there was an illuminated control area, also called ''death area.''
Refugees who had reached that area were shot without warning. A trench followed which should prevent vehicles from breaking through. Then there was a patrol track, a corridor with watchdogs, watchtowers and bunkers, and then a second wall. At least 100 people were killed at the Berlin Wall. But millions of people rejoiced when that wall came down on November 9, 1989.
Another famous wall is the Great Wall of China. It's more than 2,000 years old, but it remains one of the great wonders of the world. Stretching 4,500 miles, from the mountains of Korea to the Gobi Desert, it was first built to protect an ancient Chinese empire from marauding tribes in the north.
But it became a symbol of Chinese ingenuity and will.
