Question 1 • MO-English Language Arts 11 A
In Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall,” the speaker says, “Spring is the mischief in me,” because he wonders whether he can get his neighbor to question why they need a wall. He asks, “Why do they make good neighbors?” and points out that their land has no need for a wall. So his mischief is questioning the tradition of mending it, not tearing it down himself.
