Question

Why dose the narrator describe his house in detail in the paragraph of the extract

Answer 1

Answer:

The writer's intention was to find a black box that would make him rich. He walked silently to a deserted house. Without excitement, he focused on his job. The house looked shut for years. It was dusty, devoid of furniture. The room where the box was kept looked dark with frightening shadows. He lifted the loose board to touch the black box. The light went off. The handle slid from his hand. When he tried again to lift it, there was no box. Hearing a cough, he turned around in fear. He saw a man at the far end of the room staring at him.
