Jackie French’s novel ‘Walking the boundaries’, depicts the story of a young boy named Martin, who in exchange for his great grandfather’s farm, has to walk the boundaries of his property. French uses many explicit language techniques throughout the novel, to keep the reader engaged in the story she is trying to convey.
