The effect is to engage the reader more deeply in the moment, making Alice's experience feel more immediate and intense.
What effect does the bold text have?
As there seemed to be no chance of getting her hands up to her head, Alice tried to get her head down to them, and was delighted to find that her neck would bend about easily in any direction, like a serpent. She had just succeeded in curving it down into a graceful zigzag, and was going to dive in among the leaves, which she found to be nothing but the tops of the trees under which she had been wandering, when a sharp hiss made her draw back in a hurry: a large pigeon had flown into her face, and was beating her violently with its wings.
