How do these words by the author convey tone? Why does the author create this tone?

The excerpt from All summer in a day conveys a tone of joviality and childhood innocence.

Explanation

The text conveys a feeling happiness and innocence through the comparison of the children to roses and so many weeds. The phrase so many exemplifies the easy carelessness of the comparison that one can see through the meanings conveyed by the lines.

The author creates this tone to eventually lead to a somber realization on the impermanence of the summer and how the children are bound to be happy for such a short time.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).

sorry but whats the question?
