This story is about a girl named Ana that wishes for a cell phone as her birthday present during her Quinceañera. It is written in first person, from Ana's perspective.
Tone: It's the way the author feels (word choice). In this particular case She's nostalgic about her story "She sank into the shadows, and her face disappeared into a streaky gray smudge, as if it were being erased" she says about her grandmother. It's also informal.
Mood: The way the reader feels about the story, involving setting, characters and actions. There are different moods all through the text. One of them is disappointment "All eyes watched me -turquoise earrings, cowboy boots, lip gloss- but no cell phone. I tried to push away my disappointment". It's algo emotional and happy "She smiled, her black eyes disappearing into the wrinkles lining her face" "It may not have been a cell phone but it spoke to me all the same"
