1. Estes uses the weather to enhance the plot; for example, Maddie comments on the beautiful weather when Cecile wears her new dress but then remarks how the days did not seem as beautiful after. As Maddie and Peggy walk to Wanda’s house, Maddie remarks, “Br-r-r! How drab and cold and cheerless it was up here on the Heights! In the summer time the woods, the sumac, and the ferns that grew along the brook on the side of the road were lush and made this a beautiful walk on Sunday afternoons. But now it did not seem beautiful.” (Various chapters)
