Read the excerpt and answer the question.
I remember squatting in the road drawing a picture in the dust, a picture which Joey gleefully erased with one
sweep of his dirty foot. I remember fishing for minnows in a muddy creek and watching sadly as they eluded
my cupped hands, while Joey laughed uproariously.
Which word best describes the mood of the excerpt above?
fearful
cheerful
surprised
frustrated
I think the answer is frustrated. While Joey is obviously the antagonist, the main character doesn’t seem scared. He obviously isn’t happy or surprised, so he must be frustrated. Have a nice day
