Suspense and tension. The character's dialogue is clearly one showing signs of conflicting ideas and paranoia, one of Poe's well-known attributes of writing. The character discusses a "dreadful" nervousness. Clearly the negative emphasis for being nervous adds or emphasizes what would usually be a negative feeling, increasing the suspense and adding to the tension is the use at the end of "mad". Here being the idea of not just "dreadfully nervous", but something more, crazy or mad.

Read the sentence from Notes from a Native Son.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Baldwin uses the word "spoils" to imply that racial prejudice has resulted in ruining the day of his father's funeral.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from Notes from a Native Son, the narrator describes driving to the graveyard for his father's funeral and how the "spoils" of injustice, hatred and anarchy were all around them.

The best explanation for Baldwin choosing to describe the results of the race riot in Harlem with the word "spoils" is to imply that racial injustice ruined the day of his father's funeral.
