Everyone behaves as a distributive pronoun
to show respect for her father as he exits the courtroom
Answer:
It is a remote place.
Explanation:
Although there is no precise reference to the text, <em>"the middle of nowhere" is a phrase representing a very remote and usually isolated place.</em> So, the narrator and his family must think that his dad's home is far away from them and possibly far away from civilization, hence they call it "the Middle of Nowhere".
Answer and Explanation:
The author clearly uses a third-person point of view, which can be seen due to the lack of first person pronouns. Whether his point of view is limited or omniscient, however, is impossible to tell just from this part. This passage focuses solely on Mina, and even with her the narrator is not revealing any thoughts. As for creating interest in the story, the author introduces a conflict right from the start: the mysterious red box at Mina's feet. This event makes readers curious as to who left it there and why, and what the box contains.
