Read the following passage. What is the speaker's tone in this passage (consider
his apparent feelings about young children having freedom)?
You will send your child, will you, into a room where the table is loaded with sweet
wine and fruit some poisoned, some not?-you will say to him, "Choose freely, my
little child! It is so good for you to have freedom of choice; it forms your character-
your individuality! If you take the wrong cup or the wrong berry, you will die before
the day is over, but you will have acquired the dignity of a free child."
