Answer:

Type of figurative language:  metaphor

Meaning of figurative language:  clouds of inferiority refers to the way segregation led to African Americans to thinking of themselves as "less than"

Effect on tone and mood:  It makes the abstract have a darker tone, of sadness and impotence

Effect on the audience: it transmits the impotence of the parent when explaining to their child why they can't go to the amusement park and in a broader sense how they are "less than"

Explanation:

Metaphors are used to connect or compare two ideas that are not literally compatible, but figuratively make sense. The author here compares the feeling of inferiority that stops their children from reaching their potential with clouds that cover up the sky, thus stopping "colored" children from seeing themselves as equal and capable of doing the same things as their "non colored" peers

The type of figurative language that is used is metaphor.

  • A metaphor is a figurative language that is used when one compares two things without using words such as like.

  • The meaning of the figurative language that is used here which is "clouds of inferiority" means the way that segregation has led to the inferiority complex of the African Americans.

  • The effect on tone and mood is that it had a sadness and depressing mood. The effect on the audience is that it had a touching effect on the audience as they were touched by the happenings.
