The author uses a third person limited point of view in this story, as the narrative is focused on Mina's thoughts, feelings, and actions. By providing insight into Mina's inner thoughts and reactions, the author creates a sense of intrigue and suspense for the reader. The unexpected arrival of the small red box and Mina's reaction to the mysterious situation leave the reader wondering about the significance of the box and what will happen next. The author's use of descriptive language, such as the mention of the beautiful spring day and the light breeze tickling Mina's arm, helps to immerse the reader in the scene and create a vivid picture of the setting.
