united states citizens by the national constitution, beyond
the power of any state to deny

o confident
o flattering
o anxious

In the above excerpt, Susan B Anthony's tone is confident.

Explanation: Susan B Anthony was a suffragist and a women's rights activist. In the above speech, the confidence of her tone is revealed from the fact that she is not asking the government or the society to consider giving voting rights to the women. She is not begging for her right to vote rather she is audaciously telling that she will exercise her right to vote. Also, it is important to note the conviction with which she states that voting is her inherent right and to prove her point she invokes the authority of the US constitution.  

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).
