This is heavily underlined by the use of figurative language and imagery that is created by the frequent use of many adjectives: " the water, slow, steady, a slick of olive green pouring away from her" (p.1, ll.4-5). The use of many adjectives draws a clear mental picture that the reader can really see and feel without having to interpret to find meaning and information about the setting.
The setting is very important in this story, and it is closely related to the composition and narrative speed of the text. At the very beginning of the story, the narrative speed is slow, creating a clear, descriptive and very detailed picture of the setting. This heightens the readers focus on this particular passage and therefore also the importance of the passage and setting. There are two key elements in the setting, the water, and its surroundings. The surroundings are described as dry, hot and motionless. Everything in the surroundings is motionless: "nothing moves except the water" (p.1, l.4). This creates a clear contrast between the water that in every way is the exact opposite of the surroundings whereas the surroundings are motionless and hot, the water is cold and in motion. .
This contrast serves two different purposes. The first one is to make the reader feel the urge to go to the water to get cooled down. The water is described as delicious and cold in stark contrast to everything else including the protagonist: "She is so hot." (p.1, l.10). The reader fells the urge to get cooled down and wants the protagonist to go to the water but is at the same time hold back by the doubt: "An unnamed fear stirs her thoughts, takes a shape. Is the current stronger than it looks?" (p.2, ll.38-39). This is the second purpose of the contrast, to create a feeling that the office and the surroundings of the river are safe and know while the river and the cold water are unknown and linked with doubt and fear.
