Answer: The mood is lighthearted because the comparison created is silly.
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech that proposes a comparison of two different things to create a more vivid description of something. In this example, the reference to the pillow shaking like "pudding on a plate" creates a playful image of the movement of the pillow caused by the cat.
The comparison is simple, not difficult to understand. And the mood, despite seeming a reproach to the cat, is not angry. It´s not happy either, as the author gets disturbed while sleeping, but the reproach is playful and still warm.
I'm confused... are you asking if this is the correct answer?
Answer:
The purpose of including the flashback between Baby Suggs and Stamp Paid in this chapter is to indicate the gradual withdrawal of Sethe after she killed her child.
Explanation:
"Beloved" is a novel written by Toni Morrison. The novel is about Sethe, a former slave, who kills her daughter to protect her from going again into slavery. The story is based on true story of Margaret Garner.
In the novel, after Stamp Paid, pays visit to 124, he recalls a scene between Baby Suggs and him, where he encourages Baby Suggs to not give up on her gatherings. After Sethe has killed her child, Baby Suggs began to withdraw from her gatherings and Sethe also withdrew herself from neighbours. This flashback informs the readers the pain of not only of Sethe but of all slaves.
