Use the introductory paragraph below to complete the activity.

"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.

The author uses a third-person limited point of view in the story, focusing primarily on Mina's thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By describing Mina's actions and reactions, the author allows the reader to experience the events from Mina's perspective. The author creates interest in the story by building suspense through the mysterious ringing of the doorbell and the discovery of the red box. The unexpected nature of these events keeps the reader engaged and curious about what will happen next. Additionally, the use of descriptive language, such as mentioning the fresh air of the beautiful spring day and the light breeze tickling Mina's arm, helps to create a vivid and engaging setting for the story.
