The author uses a third-person limited point of view in the text. This is evident as we are only able to see the thoughts and experiences of Mina, the protagonist. The author creates interest in the story by immediately capturing the reader's attention with a mysterious doorbell ring that leads to an unexpected discovery. By describing Mina's emotions and actions in detail, the author allows readers to feel connected to her and invested in solving the mystery of the small red box. Additionally, the use of descriptive language, such as the "glimmer of color" and the "light breeze tickling her arm," helps to create a vivid and engaging setting for the story.
