Question 11 • *WHS OH-English Language Arts 11 A-CR
The speaker says spring brings out “the mischief in me” and imagines teasing his neighbor by suggesting that elves knock the wall down. He also wants the neighbor to question the wall’s purpose for himself, which gives the passage a playful, mischievous mood. “Determined” is less fitting because the speaker is wondering and joking, not firmly insisting on an action.
