Jewett uses a non objective style in A White Heron favoring the nature. She fills the story with lively descriptions with emotional and deep flavor. She also uses the stereotypical characters in a good vs bad conflict. She also uses the melodrama to invest both vegetable and animal worlds with human characteristics. The natural environment is the key to the story as that's something the hunter wants to suppress while Sylvia wants to protect. The story shows Sylvia's connection to nature and its creatures that inhabit the woods. Her companion is the cow, who plays pranks with her. The beasts and the birds that say "good-night to each other in sleepy twitters," which makes their demise similar to a murder, helping her make the final decision.
