Question

something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
that sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
and spills the upper boulders in the sun
—“mending wall,”
robert frost

he will not go behind his father’s saying,
and he likes having thought of it so well
he says again, “good fences make good
neighbors.”
—“mending wall,”
robert frost

which two forces are in opposition in these two excerpts from the poem?
○ ambiguity and clarity
○ the pleasure of disorder and the oppressiveness of order
○ the breaking down of structure and the preservation of structure
○ natural patterns and family patterns
done

Explanation:

• Analicemos los extractos: En el primer extracto, la naturaleza (a través del "frozen - ground - swell") destruye el muro (rompiendo la estructura). En el segundo, el personaje quiere preservar el muro (mantener la estructura), ya que repite "Good fences make good neighbors".
• Opcion 1: Ambiguity y clarity no se relacionan con la oposición de fuerzas sobre el muro.
• Opcion 2: No se trata de placer de desorden vs opresión de orden, sino de destrucción y preservación de la estructura del muro.
• Opcion 4: No es sobre patrones naturales vs familiares, sino sobre la destrucción y preservación de la estructura del muro.

Answer:

the breaking down of structure and the preservation of structure
