Answer: The tone in this excerpt is solemn, witty, outspoken and persuasive.

Explanation: The tone of a literary work can be understood as the approach or the attitude that the writer conveys towards the subject of his or her work. Even though Angelou is certainly referring to the harhsness that those working in plantations picking up cotton and other products had to endure, particularly in the last hours of the day, when "nature's blessing of grogginess, forgetfulness and the soft lamplight" had faded, hers, I believe, is not a resentful or an outraged tone, at least not in this excerpt. Instead, the tone of the author in this excerpt is solemn, witty, outspoken and persuasive, and it relates to her difficult upbringing and her personal experience as a Civil Rights advocate and activist.

She means that being a black southerner sucked, but it sucked even worse in the hot summer afternoons, which were hot and humid and uncomfortable and by which time everybody had been working hard all day, than in the mornings, when it was more comfortable and people had just gotten out of bed and weren't completely awake and aware of their lousy situation in life.

What is the "Ransom of Red Chief's" cultural context?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

two petty criminals looking for an easy two thousand dollars, hatch a plot to kidnap and hold for ransom Johnny, the 10-year-old son of Ebenezer Dorset, a wealthy pillar of the community. They pick up the boy and take him to a cave hideout, but there the tables are turned. Calling himself "Red Chief" in a fantasy game of cowboys and Indians, the boy drives both men crazy—but particularly Bill. With nonsensical prattle, childish demands and mild physical abuse, the boy demands they entertain him, refusing to return to his home even when they release him from his captivity out of desperation to be rid of his antics. Nonplussed by this unexpected reaction to their crime, the outlaws write a ransom letter to the boy's father, lowering the requested ransom from two thousand dollars to fifteen hundred. Unfortunately, old man Dorset, who knows that his boy is a terror, rejects their demand and instead offers to take the boy off their hands if they pay him $250. Bruised, disheartened, and their hopes reduced by the trials of parenting, Bill and Sam hand over the cash and trick the unhappy boy into returning to his wealthy father. The elder Dorset restrains his son long enough for the chastened duo to flee town, never to return.
