Question

I kept walking, my heart thumping in my chest. I'd been expecting this since I started. I'd been expecting the DHS to figure out what I was doing. I took every precaution, but Severe-Haircut woman had told me that she'd be watching me.'' what is the mood

Answer 1

It is asking for the mood of the piece.

Notice key phrases like: “ my heart thumping in my chest”

“ I'd been expecting the DHS to figure out what I was doing” (DHS being the department of homeland security) this person is clearly trying to do something illegal

“ Severe-Haircut woman had told me that she'd be watching me” so the narrator is trying to do something illegal while being watched

Based on this, what might you think the mood is?
