Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl.So there we were, Father, Mother and I, walking in the pouring rain, each of us with a schoolbag and a shopping bag filled to the brim with the most varied assortment of items. The people on their way to work at that early hour gave us sympathetic looks; you could tell by their faces that they were sorry they couldn't offer us some kind of transportation; the conspicuous yellow star spoke for itself.What is the mood of this excerpt?
The mood is gloomy because the family is walking through pouring rain while carrying all their belongings, and the people they pass look at them with sympathy. The yellow star also signals the hardship and persecution they face. “Panicked” and “angry” do not fit the quiet, sorrowful tone, and the scene is not indifferent.
