Descriptive language shows you what's important in the story, and that leads you to the overall theme, or important idea. If the story is told in harsh, cold language, it's got a different theme than if it's told in soft, flowery tones.

Descriptive language helps convey the mood, setting, and emotions in a story, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the narrative. By analyzing the specific details and imagery used in the descriptions, readers can uncover underlying themes and motifs that contribute to the overall message or lesson of the story.
