Assignment Three: "Good fences make good neighbours." from "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost

I could not have chosen a more interesting line as this one from the poem "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost. When you think of a fence, what comes to mind - maybe a pristine, new fence put up by your neighbor? The fence you see on the perimeter of a pasture?

The line "Good fences make good neighbours" can be carried beyond the literal meaning of a physical fence to just about anything that exists to seperate or divide. The physical fence itself can be ironic and it does not necessarly need to be present, but the understanding that there is a defined seperation, or the perception of seperation yields at least two distinct spaces, two different viewpoints, two sides to the story, two different methods - the list is virtually endless.

In the reverse what does a bad fence say? Does a shoddy fence, an unkempt or damaged fence, or a fence made of materials not usually associated with a "typical" fence really mean bad neighbors?

Through five photographs, the visual representation will show the "fence" in a way that represents the boundry it seperates. It can range from an implied viewpoint to an actual fence, wall or barrier that shows seperation.
