The author uses the metaphor of Cameria being a tall oak in a forest of saplings to contrast her wisdom and experience with that of other characters. This comparison highlights her age and knowledge in relation to those around her who are less experienced, emphasizing her strength and role as a source of guidance or authority in the story.
