What is the tone of this passage?
Bobbie Jo meant to rob the train. He had a mask
and a gun. The mask was ripped off his face
when it got caught on Mrs. Leevy’s hat pin, and
nobody was fooled by the squirt gun. When he
stood up, intending to yell, “Get on the floor and
empty your pockets,” it came out like this:
“Empty the floor and spit on your pockets!”
