Nature helped in both stories with the tree that absorbed tears and the pine tree that grew in the place of the boy that was sucked into the ground. The genres of both stories you could say are folk tale and lesson to be learned. There are metaphors and similes throughout both of the stories. You could say the tree that grew in place of the boy was a sign of the boy's former life. The tree that absorbed the girls tears took away all of her sadness.
The angels, not half so happy In Heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yesl-that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but | feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, lle down by the side
Of my darling-my darling-my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea-
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
