Mending Wall
Frost, ''Mending Wall'' and ''After Apple-Picking'' (1915) -- Jerz: American Lit II (EL 267)
The speaker asks an important question and/or makes a valid point.
"Before I built a wall Id ask to know what I was walling in or walling out.”
His neighbor on the other hand doesn’t ask this at all but just keeps repeating his mantra,
“Good fences make good neighbors.”
It is very noticable that the speaker is against the idea of the fence but yet the speaker goes along with it. I think that he is trying to prove to his neighbors that people can be just as good neighbors as a fence.
