Prompt: In the poem, the speaker and his neighbor meet each year to repair a wall. Describe a time when you had to set or respect a boundary with a friend, family member, or classmate. How did it help or hurt your connection with that person?

 Prompt: Last year, I had to set a boundary with my friend who kept copying my homework. I didn’t want to make them upset, but I knew it wasn’t fair to keep letting it happen. When I finally told them no, they got mad, and we didn’t talk for a while. Later, they understood why I set that boundary, and our friendship became stronger and more respectful. Like in Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall,” setting limits helped keep our friendship healthy, even though it was hard at first.

Summary: In class today we completed a common lit.

Reflection: I learned how to truly analyze a common lit.
