The author helps readers picture the story by using imagery. The descriptive language allows readers to visualize the setting, such as the "tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life," the "delicious breath of rain," and the "patches of blue sky" through the clouds. These vivid details create a strong sense of atmosphere and help immerse the reader in the scene.
