From  Caramelo, by Sandra Cisneros

"A bungalow, a duplex, a brownstone, an apartment. Something, anything, because the Grandmother’s gloominess was the contagious kind, infecting every member of the household as fiercely as the bubonic plague".

The figurative language in lines 5 through 7 establishes a tone of

1) loneliness

2)confusion

3)desperation

4)shame

3)desperation

Explanation:

The grandmother being unhappy and therefore mean to those who live with her, pushes the narrator and everyone in that family to desperately find somewhere else for her to live.
