How does Erich Segal use imagery in Love Story?

The setting of the novel in the beginning is the college campuses of Radcliffe and Harvard. Since these settings are important to the background of the main characters, there are many times within the novel that landscape of these campuses are mentioned by name, such as the names of the buildings within these campuses, that adds a certain depth to the novel and gives knowledge to those readers who might not have been very knowledgeable about these two campuses. Within the language of this novel the reader is also introduced to the melody of the speech of several cultures, most notably that of the boisterous Italian family to which Jenny belongs in Rhode Island and the more refined Boston family to which Oliver belongs.
