  • Read and annotate the two poems, "Mending Wall" and "Two Look at Two" by Robert Frost, and make some connections between each poem and the story "The Body." Write a reflection for each--what does the allusion to the poem add to the story of "The Body"? In other words, why has Stephen King chosen to allude to each of these poems?
