How would you describe the tone of the following statement and why?
"The internal arrangements of the Finch house were indicative of Simon's guilelessness and the absolute trust with which he regarded his offspring." (Chapter 9)

"The internal arrangements of the Finch house were indicative of Simon's guilelessness and the absolute trust with which he regarded his offspring." (Chapter 9) The tone of that statement, I would describe, is a bit humorous/mocking but also proud. It sounds like the family now should not have been so trusted. As if Simon was too innocent and the internal arrangements reflect that... But it also has a proud feeling with it. Proud that Simon trusted his offspring so much and they can see this in the internal arrangements of the house. |

(Chapter 9) The tone of the statement is a little haughty. It sounds as if the narrator is mocking Simon Finch for the trust he placed in his children. However, the narrator calling Simon guileless (straight forward) is some what of a compliment. |

I think it is an intresting point that the narrator still refers to him as Simon even though they are ridiculing him. |

(Chapter 9) I would describe the tone of this statement as witty and jocular, as soon after Lee writes that Simon Finch had designed the house with Scout's bedroom only accessible through one staircase that was "in the ground-floor bedroom of [her] parents, so Simon always knew the hours of [Scout's] nocturnal comings and goings." |
