Camp Harmony - Literary Focus - Interpret

Question 5:
How would you define the mood of the people on the bus at the beginning of the journey to Camp Harmony? at the end of journey?
          In the way go to the Camp Harmony, people’s mood on the bus changed from positive to negative. “Everyone was quiet except for a chattering group of university student, who soon started singing college songs. A few people turned and glared at them, which only served to increase the volume of their singing. Then suddenly a baby’s sharp cry rose indignantly above the hubbub. The singing stopped immediately, followed by a guilty silence.” At first, there were still some university students wanted to sing songs because they are excited going to the camp, but then, they realized that silence was what the bus belong to. “Three seats behind us, a young mother held a wailing red-faced infant in her arms, bouncing it up and down”. “A young man stammered out an apology as the mother gave him a wrathful look. She hunted frantically for a bottle of milk in a shopping bag, and we all relaxed when she had found it”. Since then, everybody’s mood changed, they all kind of angry and mad at something. “We tried to sleep to escape from the restless anxiety which kept bobbing up to the surface of our minds. I awoke with a start when the bus filled with excited buzzing. A small group of straw-hatted Japanese farmers stood by the highway, waving at us. I felt a sudden warmth toward them, then a twinge of pity. They would be joining us soon.” The people on the bus also know that this trip the camp is going to be tough and now, not only people were angry, they were also worry and anxious about where the bus was going to take them to.
