<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.

The definitions above are clear and explanatory. Still, let's define the terms with different words to make sure the comprehension is thorough. A <u>cult</u> is used to refer to religions that are practiced by smaller groups and that have unconventional beliefs. <u>Cynicism</u> has its origin in an ancient Greek philosophical school. Nowadays, the word is used to refer to the belief that people are self-interest in their actions. <u>Skepticism</u> as a philosophy is the theory that achieving a certain knowledge is impossible. As for <u>syncretism</u>, it refers to the blending of two or more belief/religious systems or even cultures. <u>Monasticism</u> is also called monkhood and, as the name suggests, it concerns the abandonment of worldly pursuits in favor of spiritual endeavors. Finally, <u>utopia</u> refers to a place or a state in which everything is perfect. It usually refers to a perfect society, in which everyone works for the general good, rulers are not corrupt, and the people is impeccably happy.
A time that I often use acronyms is PEMDAS for math. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses Exponents Multiply Divide Add Subtract. This particular acronym is used for simplifying expressions with 2 or more operations. This was a very useful technique because it really stuck in the brain and helped me remember which order to simplify the expression.
Hope this helps :)
