Oral Presentation – Mending Walls The persona’s further description creates an imagery that illustrates how hard it is to maintain and balance the barrier. It reads‚ “We have to use a spell to make them (the boulders) balance‚ stay where you are until our backs are turned.” The spell‚ again cannot be true in the real world‚ shows that they need to use imaginary power to maintain balances‚ since the nature of the “boulder”‚ “balls” and “loaves”‚ or in the metaphorical terms‚ the barriers between
