"Mending Wall"

"Mending Wall" by Robert Frost is a poem that explores the tradition of maintaining a boundary between neighbors through the annual act of rebuilding a stone wall. The poem questions the necessity of this barrier, suggesting it may be rooted in tradition rather than practicality. It reflects on themes of human connection, independence, and the natural desire to define personal space, while also considering the potential for walls to separate people emotionally or socially. Overall, it prompts readers to think about the purpose and meaning of boundaries in relationships and society.
