Question & story are below! :D

The neighborhood around Zebras school seemed as if it was in the suburbs. It is strangely empty as stated in the last paragraph. The neighborhood didn't have people nor traffic. It didn't even have stray dogs that would just roam about. It seemed "vacant and silent as if it were already in the full heat of summer." You can see some of the teachers houses such as Mr. Morgans and Mrs. English. The other homes on the street had columned front porches and back patios. Their houses and oak trees stood curiously still in the warm golden light of the midmorning sun. That's why the neighborhood around the school seem as if they were suburbs or really nice and quiet people lived there.

to leave the reader thinking and wandering on their own. without a resolution we are clueless to what happens next, and why it does. it may even cause suspension with the reader.

explanation:

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )
