The poem has a different understanding once you take into account she committed suicide soon after. In the poem she talk of being dead in the figurative sense and hiding it with smiles of accomplishment and illusions. Instead after you see she meant she was dead inside and when she talked of her feet saying we've gone to far she means she's tired of living. And again she talks of flowe petals closing as she closes in on herself.

<u>Answer</u>:
The mood of the story "The Ransom of Red Chief” is fun and light.
<u>Explanation</u>:
"The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry is a light, fun and comical story. Though the story is on kidnapping and taking the ransom for a young boy “Johnny Dorset”, but the mood in the story is light. This is because Bill and Sam, the kidnappers are dumb and idiots. Johnny is the devil’s child, he makes the life of kidnappers very miserable. This leads to comic ways in the story.
Funniest part is when Johnny’s mother, Ebenezer Dorset agrees to take her son back only if Bill and Sam pay her.
