Which excerpt (part) from paragraph 20 of Ninth Ward best supports the depressing bleak mood.
No one is coming. All day and all night, we waited. Spot panted, slept. TaShon swatted at mosquitoes and his feet turned itchy red after he left them in the water to cool off. We are both sunburned. Funny, I didn’t think black folks sunburned. But all day in the sun, no shade, has made me and TaShon red-faced. My cheeks and shoulders hurt like someone touched them with a hot iron.

TaShon swatted at mosquitoes and his feet turned itchy red
