Question

I’m Robert Frost poem “mending wall”, what does the narrator have on his side of the wall? A. A pine forest B. A cow farm C. An apple orchard D. A rabbit nursery

Answer 1

C. An apple orchard. This is the correct version.

" There where it is we do not need the wall // He is all pine and I am apple orchard..// My apple trees will never get across." The poet thinks the wall is useless between these two pieces of lot. If the neighbour's pines get into the poet's lot, he will just eat the pine's fruits. He does not see any problem, and he thinks his apples will never get into the neighbour's lot.

These options are wrong:

A. A pine forest. The narrator's neighbour has pine trees.

B. A cow farm . There are not cows in the area. As there are not cows, the narrator thinks the wall is useless.

D. A rabbit nursery . There are rabbits in the whole area.

Answer 2

In Robert Frost's poem "Mending Wall", the narrator has (C.) an apple orchard on his side of the wall.

"Mending Wall" is a poem by Robert Frost and it is part of North of Boston, his second collection of poetry. The poem focuses on the speaker's relationship with his neighbour and the wall that separates them. Although the speaker questions the purpose of the wall throughout the poem, his neighbour thinks that "Good fences make good neighbours". Therefore, while the narrator has an apple orchard on his side of the wall, his neighbour has a pine ("He is all pine and I am apple orchard"). The wall is a symbol in the poem since instead of representing a barrier, it is a sign of the bond that exists between the two neighbours.
