The world is humongous, and comparable, and easily conquerable – according to a child. In "A white heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett we are introduced to a brave little girl and a seemingly infinite tree. However this little heroin escalates this tree in this coming of age story adventure. Children see the world with much more color and curiosity. This passage captures the details and vivid colors that will be alluring to children and creates a wonderful imagery. Such as the "moths" and "sweet voiced threshers" this young girl is experiencing nature in its full glory. Furthermore, as children everything seems bigger and the description of the old Pinetree being a “landmark for the sea” shows and creates an image that glorifies this symbol of initiation.
