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. We felt it first, that sickening lurch of the cement under your feet that every Californian knows instinctively—*earthquake*. My first inclination, as always, was to get away: "when in trouble or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout." But the fact was, we were already in the safest place we could be, not in a building that could fall in on us, not out toward the middle of the road where bits of falling cornice could brain us. Earthquakes are eerily quiet—at first, anyway—but this wasn't quiet. This was loud, an incredible roaring sound that was louder than anything I'd ever heard before. The sound was so punishing it drove me to my knees, and I wasn't the only one. Darryl shook my arm and pointed over the buildings and we saw it then: a huge black cloud rising from the northeast, from the direction of the Bay.

 The mood of this paragraph is so moody-no pun intended- so dark and mysterious. It almost makes you engrossed into this character's feelings. You feel that bottomless pit in his stomach, you almost hear his hear beating out of his chest. Everything in this gives you almost a hurried pace to it, almost like that feeling you get in the movies when something spectacular is happening but everything is completely silent-not one character talking-only your own interpretation of their thoughts-their feelings.

Answer:

I think that our EMT'S, Firefighters, Doctors, and Nurses should all have a national holiday just for them, because they get up everyday not knowing what could possibly happen that day and continue to do their jobs wonderfully. Our doctors and nurses help us when we are sick the nurses help direct us and the doctors help to try and cure our sickness. Our EMT'S are also very important because the firefighters help save our lives if we are in a fire and the EMT'S  help to also save our lives if we are in a fire or have a medical emergency. So therefore that's why I believe our EMT'S, firefighters, doctors, and nurses should all have their own national holiday, because of all the wonderful things they do and they also put their lives on the live but also help save others lives.

Hope this helps :) PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST PLEASE!
