Explanation:

When you look at the excerpt here, you realize one common denominator: the narrator is letting us know about the place, and the circumstances around the place, where the events are unfolding. We learn about Anna Mae, that she is somewhere probably in a dinning room, since the narrator also shows us that the character is thinking about food. Then she also tells us about changes that the character would like to make to the place, before Scott, most likely her husband, arrives home where she is. There is also a mention of an event, a painful one, that she wishes that was forgotten and so she takes the necessary steps to prevent more pain. With these descriptions, the narrator in the excerpt is explaining both the location and situation before introducing us to the full story behind the image given in the excerpt.
