An essay with descriptions of the environment and characters

The description of the environment and characters were very important elements in novel writing, which could help the readers better understand and feel the plot. The following was an essay about the environment and character description: On a cold winter day, snowflakes fell on the streets and covered the roads. The north wind howled and made people tremble. The pedestrians on the street hurried on with the exception of an old woman. She held an umbrella in her hand and walked slowly on the snow. She was wearing a thick coat and a pair of thick glasses. Her eyes revealed a hint of determination and calmness, as if she knew what she was doing. At this moment, a young man walked over. He was wearing a thick down jacket, gloves, and a hat. "What are you doing here?" he asked the old woman. "I'm looking for a book," the old woman answered with a smile. The young man looked at the umbrella in the old woman's hand and then walked to the bookstore on the corner of the street. He found a thick book and handed it to the old woman. The old woman took the book and looked at it carefully. Then she said,"I like this book very much, but I can't find it anymore." The young man smiled and asked,"Are you in this story?" The old woman nodded. The young man opened the story and found that it described a world full of magic and adventure, and the old woman was an adventurer in this world. At this moment, the old woman said,"I have been looking for this book because the world described in this book makes me yearn for it." I want to go to that world to see what it's like there." The young man smiled and said,"If you really want to go, I can go with you." Let's take the risk and find this book together." The old woman was touched. She thanked the young man for his company and left the bookstore. She walked on the street and watched the snowflakes continue to fall. Her heart was filled with yearning for the adventure world. In this story, the description of the environment and the characters were excellent. The description of the environment made the readers feel the coldness of winter and the silence of the streets, while the description of the characters made the readers understand the character and heart of the old woman more deeply.
