The author uses images to show when and where the next part of the chapter will take place to make the reader uncomfortable. The boy who has now woken up from the cold and not from the "steps", which he had heard moving away before waking up in the woods, then evaluates the situation. The child then thinks: “In the moonlight I could see that they were everywhere. I looked at the other foot but it was fine, and in fact the rest of me was too. I no longer had a scratch and I wasn't even that dirty" (Auerbach). The author makes the reader uncomfortable by having this happen at night, which can be told by the moon. Another thing that makes the reader uncomfortable is when the author causes the child to be in the woods and other than stepping on the thorn he is unharmed or even dirty. From the way these sentences are composed, the reader can see and feel the discomfort even more than they already have. Furthermore, the fact that the reader knows that it is a boy makes him even more uncomfortable. The images used by the author then make the reader uneasy about where and when this happens. By "seeing" what the child sees and knowing what happened at the beginning of this chapter, this makes what the reader feels mysterious.
