Question

Alone in her studio, Mina sat in front of her canvas admiring her latest creation, when the doorbell rang. “Coming!” Mina shouted cheerfully as she ran down the stairs. She twisted the deadbolt and opened the door, but, to her surprise, the only thing waiting for her was the fresh air of the beautiful spring day. “Hello?” she asked, looking around. No one was there. She was just about to close the door when a glimmer of color caught her eye. Down by her feet, there was a small red box. Intrigued, she picked it up and took one last look around. A light breeze tickled her arm, and she shuddered. In three to five sentences, explain what point of view the author uses and how the author creates interest in the story.

Answer 1

The author uses a third-person limited point of view in this story, focusing on Mina's thoughts and actions. By describing Mina's confusion and curiosity about the mysterious red box, the author creates interest in the story and draws the reader in. The use of sensory details, like the spring breeze and the tickling sensation on Mina's arm, adds to the intrigue and sets the scene for a potential mystery or surprise.
