Answer:

The narrator thinks that the white umbrella would represent something unnecessary, superfluous.

Explanation:

The narrator knows that her mother does not encourage unnecessary expenses, even if this expense fulfills some of her daughter's wishes and makes her happy. The narrator's mother does not admire American habits in relation to consumerism, the undisciplined taste in money and believes that a white umbrella would be an unnecessary expense, since her daughter already had a raincoat.

Which of the following elements of a story best reveals the overall mood or tone of a story
jekas [21]

Tone in fiction is the attitude of the narrator or viewpoint character toward story events and other characters. In a story with first-person POV, tone can also be the narrator’s attitude toward the reader.

In non-fiction, tone is the writer’s attitude toward subject matter and reader. So the writer might come across as a know-it-all or a blowhard or as humble or solicitous.

Read the stanza below from the poem “Birmingham Sunday” by Richard Fariña and complete the instruction that follows.
jasenka [17]
<span>The stanza is an example of extended metaphor. It is interesting that the lines are unchanged from the original song from which the melody for “Birmingham Sunday” is taken. In this metaphor, the “men in the forest” seemed awfully concerned about the “black berries.” At the same time, the speaker, “with a tear” in his or her eye, asks about the “dark ships.” Although this stanza can be taken many different ways, I think it is a metaphor for the fear that people feel for things they do not understand. The men in the forest are scared of things they don’t know from the Blue Sea, while the speaker (who seems to be from the Blue Sea based on the question posed) is fearful of the dark ships in the forest. In this way, the extended metaphor is speaking about the fear that races have of each other and the meaninglessness of that fear. Just as the “black berries” or “dark ships” mean nothing to us, race shouldn’t mean anything when evaluating the worth of a person.</span>
