From the Paper:

"This information suggests that for Eveline to leave her home, with all of its importance to her, would be a hard choice indeed. By using these short, attention-catching sentences that deal with her home, amidst a sea of average and longer sentences, the narrator accomplishes two purposes. He both introduces a foreshadowing of a surprising element in the story and continues to key the reader to important information about Eveline and her feeling towards her environment."
