Read the excerpt from "Mending Wall." I see him there Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed. He moves in darkness as it seems to me, Not of woods only and the shade of trees. 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 neighbours." Based on the excerpt, what does the speaker think of his neighbor?

He is stubborn.He is interesting to talk to.He is a quick worker.He is disorganized.

Answer:

He is stubborn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert Frost, the poet, thinks there is no need to have a wall between the two neighbours. Yet, his neighbour will keep it . He thinks a wall is a way , at least, to keep some distance from his neighbour. The wall is made of stones which sometimes fall or are missing and there he is mending it any time a stone is missing. Besides, he follows to the letter what his father used to say about walls and neighbours:"Good fences make good neighbours."
