A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett The Cow In Jewetts Short Story A White Heron.
In this particular short Shot, however, we follow the events of a young farm girl named Sylvia. She is a shy young lady, the kind that is content with simply enjoying the serenity of nature.

He is a rather chipper stranger, whom, after he found Sylvia in her hiding spot where she dove to avoid confrontation, started conversing with her in a gentlemen-like fashion. We also find out that he is an Ornithologist someone who studies birds. The stranger comes off as a pleasant man but has Herln end goal that does not quite resonate with Sylvia: to kill a rare White Heron for his collection.
The short story was written near the end of the Victorian Era. One of the keystones of the era were feathered hats. The variety of feathers that one had incorporated into their headwear was a status symbol of the times.
The more exotic the bird, the more prestigious the woman was thought to be. This style quickly led to an endangerment even extinction, in some cases of many exotic birds. Among a large assortment of birds with beautiful feathers, herons being included click the list of sought out fowl.
From housewives to heroes: the real story of the Blitz
Jewett has an intriguing way of detailing the flip side of the plumage movement. Being a woman in the era herself, one could assume that she herself has been tempted to explore such a fashion. However, we see from her writing that the nature aspect means a whole lot more to her than having the remnants of a deceased aerial animal on her headwear. We see throughout the story that Sylvia has much more appreciation for the beauty of nature while it is still out in the wild, rather than it being interwoven into cloths.
Windy Day In Fall: A Short Story
The young girl seeks a connection to the aliveness of the environment itself. She connects with the nature around her not just on a superficial level of its material value, but on a personal level. We can see that Sarah Jewett paints the character of Sylvia as being a part of nature, rather than simply an observer.
The personification that Jewett uses helps us get the sense that Sylvia is, herself, ingrained in nature and sees herself as an equal rather than an owner. She desires to protect the white heron, rather than hunt it down for the return of money or a higher status.]
