what message does the author give to the reader by using the phrase big white house in this context?
that mr. hawkins’s house was different from that of his neighbors
that mr. hawkins was a rich landowner
that mr. hawkins lived on his farm rather than in town
that it was easy to see the house in the dark because it was white
