Wesley and I chose the poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost. This poem is about two neighbors that are divided by a stone wall and in thes scene, they are meeting to repair the wall. One neighbor doesn't understand the need for the wall since there are no animals to fence in and their trees are different. The presentation to our classmates went very well and we were very calm. We were to memorize our intro and try to as little as possible, not look at the poem. The delivery was very well but…

Elias, First of all, I would like to tell you how proud and excited I am for you! I have been able to watch you grow from a quiet young boy into a respectable young man, and more importantly a little brother. It has been such a joy to get to know and love you.

“I’ll do whatever you say from now on, please.” Robbie knew the teenage girl has a crush on him. He softened his stance. “You dove into the ocean without telling me, Yasmin. We were twenty miles out. Ever seen a teenage girl bitten in half by a Great White?” Yasmin joked, “Yes, in that movie that comes on at one in the morning, Jaws.” Everybody laughed.
