I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it at the time, chess games.

“Bite back your tongue,” scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the story that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, “Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind – poom! – North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen.”

Read this excerpt from I Never Had It Made.

He knew I would have terrible problems and wanted me to know the extent of them before I agreed to the plan. I was twenty-six years old, and all my life – back to the age of eight–I had believed in payback, retaliation. The most luxurious possession, the richest treasure anybody has, is his personal dignity. I looked at Mr. Rickey guardedly, and in that second I was looking at him not as a partner in a great experiment, but as the enemy –a white man. I had a question, and it was the age-old one about whether or not you sell your birthright.

"Mr. Rickey," I asked, "are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?"

I never will forget the way he exploded.

"Robinson," he said, "I'm looking for a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back."

Stranded by Tracy Williams: APRIL 25. Even the morning air is sultry today. I would have fished for my breakfast last night before sunset, but I knew that it would surely spoil before morning. Drinking my water warm has taken some getting used to. It's funny how we take certain things like ice for granted. If I become desperate I can always resort to eating the freeze dried rations, but that defeats my purpose for being here to begin with. Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree. I think I have almost learned to track the time by 1 the rays of the sun. Time, like water, seems to sit in a pot unable to boil if your eye isn't constantly on it. Time seems to be the only thing that man hasn't learned to control; but | am sure some genius like Fred Johnson is currently working on it, while sitting in a cubicle checking the four thousand emails on his smart phone. As for me, I think I will lean back on this dune and nap a while before I head out to catch some lunch.

How does the author's diction affect the mood of the excerpt?

Read the excerpt from "Why Do Black Women Fear the Fro?" by Cheryl Thompson.

0 The informal diction creates a frustrated mood.
0 The colloquial diction creates an appeasing mood.
0 The objective diction creates an anxious mood.
0 The positive diction creates a determined mood.​
