It's been a while since I've read the book and I don't really a lot of the context, so just from this passage I would say it says he notices nice houses and other people's wealth and maybe envies them a little bit. (although you don't get that explicitly from this passage.)
Answer:
The narrative will change depending on the narrator's tone and point of view.
Explanation:
When planning to write a story, it's important to carefully pick a narrator, because the narrative will change depending on the narrator's tone and point of view.
A narrative's point of view is the perspective from which it is told. The first-person and third-person narratives are the most common, but the second-person narrative is used sometimes, as well. Depending on how much information they have an insight into, narrators can be limited or omniscient. An omniscient narrator is a narrator who knows about all events that take place in the story and about all character's thoughts and feelings. A limited narrator doesn't possess this much knowledge.
The narrator's tone is the narrator's attitude toward or feelings about the events that take place, about the subject.
We can see that one story can be told from many perfectives, which is why it's important to carefully pick its narrator.
