*I'll give brainliest* In a paragraph of at least three sentences, explain the mood of this excerpt from Little Brother. Provide details from the text to support your answer.

She gave me a long hug, and I noticed how thin her arms had gotten, how saggy the skin on her neck was. I always thought of my mother as young, pale, rosy-cheeked and cheerful, peering shrewdly through her metal-rim glasses. Now she looked a little like an old woman. I had done that to her. The terrorists had done that to her. The Department of Homeland Security had done that to her. In a weird way, we were all on the same side, and Mom and Dad and all those people we'd spoofed were on the other side.

Answer :

The mood for this is sad for this. She is talking about her mother being old and had lived a sad and fearful life. She feels as if its her fault her and is upset with herself and this saddens the mood.
The mood would reflect on it as crestfallen because he states, "I always thought of my mother as young, pale, rosy-cheeked and cheerful, peering shrewdly through her metal-rim glasses. Now she looked a little like an old woman. I had done that to her." He felt remorse as he described his mother. he believed he and the terrorists did that to her. Hope this helps you!
