1. I believe the wall that is being divided is the wall being built for his daughter, but it represents a final thought on what the father taught him and what he meant to Saunders. I dont believe it is a clear message but it is what i believe the message is. I believe he writes that in the end to show and explain what his dad would have said in the certain moment to represent that the dad was in his mind and thoughts, but in the end just picked up the tools and continued building that wall.
2. The Chronological order in the essay is from the after time that the dad died, to when the grandfather had just gotten married, to when Scott saw his dad work with the tools and started practicing himself to back to after the dad dying to when he first heard that the father died. It explains events that occur during the time he is talking about for example the grandfather's wedding, or the gerbil getting lost behind a wall.
3.I believe dawn stones are stones used in early history to build or repair things. What this represents is the hammer has been along for so long in their family but it hasnt changed its purpose, it wouldve the done the same exact things as if the dawn stone was what was passed down to the generation.
