Can I write sentences to describe a setting?

Let me read the Example Text again.

Edward lived in a dull city with tall towers and empty streets. Every day he trekked and he trekked and he trekked to spend time under the last tree in the city. He loved resting under its long branches and hearing the birds sing. The tree was his favourite place to dream and wonder. It made him happy, so very happy.

One rainy morning, he passed the tall towers and wide windows to see his tree. He walked and he walked and he walked. Eventually, Edward reached the place he loved but his tree was gone! Workers had chopped it down and left only a flat, empty space. He stood there feeling helpless. Where would he sit and dream now?

Now Edward was so sad that he felt his heart sink. The city looked even duller and the air felt unfriendly. He missed the tree and the birds and their songs. Would he ever find a beautiful place again? It made him unhappy, so very unhappy.

Then, he saw something from the corner of his eye. He uncovered a small green plant growing between some rocks! He picked it up and carried it carefully through the streets. He planted it in a new safe spot. The leaves started to flutter in the air. The city was not so dull anymore. It made him cheerful, so very cheerful.
