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.
When they took the hood off again, I was in a cell. The cell was old and crumbled, and smelled of sea air. There was one window high up, and rusted bars guarded it. It was still dark outside. There was a blanket on the floor and a little metal toilet without a seat, set into the wall. The guard who took off my hood grinned at me and closed the solid steel door behind him. (10 points)

The mood of this paragraph is dark, cold, and dreary. Parts of the paragraph such as "old and crumbled" and even "it was still dark outside" support this, showing that the overall mood of the area is uncomfortable and dark.  When you read this passage, you do feel rather gloomy as the character must have.
