Introduction to A White Heron Essay
Step by step getting closer to the moonlight reflecting the destination of Sylvia’s long waited soaring pine tree. This girl thinks she is on one serious mission which is climbing that big pine tree that is tall as Burj Dubai. The eagerness of climbing that tree gives hints to the reader that she is slowly developing confidence to reach the final line. The author, Sarah Orne Jewett dramatizes Sylvia characterizing success by throwing heaps of literary devices on how her own “dangerous” adventure comes to an end.
To begin with, Sylvia is in a moonlight adventure through the wood s heading towards the tallest but the oldest pine tree stretching out to the universe. One of its last generations it stands at the edge of the woods facing the sea swiftly dancing beneath the glowing moon. Sylvia’s arrival to the tree lets her eagerness grow. She starts to climb, climbing ‘with her bare feet and fingers, that pinched and held like bird’s claws to the monstrous ladder reaching up, up, almost to the sky itself.’ Toward the peak of the old pine tree, Sylvia’s whole body is intense. ‘She has often climbed there, and knew the higher still one of the oak’s upper branches chafed against the pine trunk, just where its lower boughs were set close together.’ As said Sylvia has often climbed this old pine tree numerous times before therefore young Sylvia knows exactly where to avoid and which part of the tree is safe to climb to reach the peak of the pine tree. Up as she goes the harder it gets due to the tree trying to stop her from reaching her goal. ‘the sharp dry twigs caught and held her and scratched her like angry talons, the pitch made her thin little fingers clumsy and stiff as she went round and round the tree’s great stem,’ You can see the effort Sylvia is placing as she is going on without giving up fighting back trying to get across. Her mind is set on one thing and only which makes her goals more challenging.
