Read the excerpt from "No Dogs Bark. "The moon was rising, almost blue, 2 in a clear sky. Now the old man's face, drenched with sweat, was flooded with light. He lowered his eyes so he wouldn't have to look straight ahead, since he couldn't bend his head, tightly gripped in his son's hands. "I'm not doing all this for you. I'm doing it for your dead mother. Because you were her son. That's why I'm doing it." How does the image of the moon impact the mood of the story?
