On this evening he began his journey in a westerly direction, toward the hidden sea. There was a good crystal frost in the air; it cut the nose and made the lungs blaze like a Christmas tree inside; you could feel the cold light going on and off, all the branches filled with invisible snow.”

How does Bradbury’s description of the setting establish tension?

Answer:

His descripotiopn adds tension through the usage of descriptive and figurative language

Step-by-step explanation:

By using words like "hidden" and "cold light" it creates a sensory feeling of secrecy and wonder about the environment. He describes the scenery in a whimsical tone and makes it possible for the reader to feel themselves in the character's shoes. The diction used in this excerpt adds to this as well.
