Read this excerpt from Chapter 1 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and answer the question.

The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off,

who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a whippowill and a dog crying about somebody that

was going to die; and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn't make out what it

was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me.

Which two words describe the tone the author uses in this excerpt?

somber

forceful

ironic

nostalgic

melancholy
