Evidence of the tone Not evidence of the tone
[Lola] held my white quince dress in front of her. [...] She pressed her body against my dress and had me hold up her hair.
I leaned forward, telling her my innermost dreams and secrets. [...] Ricardo and I kissing while watching novelas. Me always getting up and meeting him at the door.
Ricardo doesn’t break eye contact with me as he flips Estefania’s hair, as he leans to whisper some amusement into her ear.
Each time, I was struck by [Ricardo’s] beauty [...] All our lives we had lived across from each other, and all my life I had known that one day we would be here.

Which of the following quotes are evidence of the mood?(5 points)
Evidence of the mood Not evidence of the mood
My father twirled me around the room, and in the last spin of our dance, Tía Lola strode in. [...] The merriment was silenced. Everyone stared.
I hovered next to our living room. [...] I would peek in on my parents when they were in this room; it’s like they became different people in there.
I always imagine myself looking at [Ricardo] with this simple wonder. [...] I saw the sadness, the wail, come back to [Lola’s] eyes. “I thought that too,” she said softly.
I felt like all the times I had been in her room and she told me about Tío Carlos. I had been waiting for this day: To offer her a story of my own.
[Ricardo’s] face—beautiful one moment and the next: rigid eyes, blazing nostrils, coiled lip. I’d seen that visage before, when he’d grabbed my arm at school, turning my skin red under his fingers.
