“Good fences make good neighbors” is a saying that occurs around the world and that was around long before
Robert Frost wrote this poem in which two neighbors with entirely different views of the world take a close look
at each other over their adjoining rock wall. If you were in this scene, which neighbor would YOU be? Read this
famous poem to discover what it means about neighbors, boundaries, and other observations on life.
First view Unit 6 Multimedia 1, “Watch a performance of “Mending Wall”” on My Literature Lab.
I also suggest that you follow along in your book as you hear the poem read so you can begin to build
familiarity with Frost’s unique wording and cadence.
