<span>The mood of this excerpt is grief and sadness. Much like most of Hemingway's works, the pain and sadness of this generation. We can see this in evidence of the "very young" wife who passed away. This invokes a feeling of loss that has been taken too early. Furthermore, she had "only been sick a few days.

The poem "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde is meant to give us a glimpse into a teenage girl's mind. The author jumps from one thought to the next in a desperate fashion. The thoughts seem unrelated and scrambled, but they are all concerned with topics that would worry a fourteen year old. The style is meant to give us the feeling of confusion and worry that is common among teenagers.
However, at the end of each nervous train of thought, the girl notices her mother is in the bedroom with the door closed. It implies that she would like some help, and she would like to turn to her mother. But there is some slight difficulty, which is the closed door. However, the obstacle is not difficult enough to put her off the idea completely, which is why she keeps noticing it. This ambivalence leaves her in a constant state of hesitation, but she does not approach her mother in the end.
