How and why does the author personify nature in a windstorm in the forest

The author personifies nature in "A windstorm in the forest" in order to make the story more realistic.

The extensive description of the nature in this particular story was very important because the theme is related to nature. When a reader reads somethings, he automatically imagines it playing in his mind.

For this story, the extensive description of nature shall help the reader imagine better and enjoy it fully and wholesomely.
