I would say that the lines are:
"<span>By Zeus I swear, except ye find and bring
Before my presence here the very man
Who carried out this lawless burial,
Death for your punishment shall not suffice.

Hanged on a cross, alive ye first shall make
Confession of this outrage. This will teach you
What practices are like to serve your turn."

Creon not only forbids </span><span>Polyneices's burial, but reinforces this law (as well as his own legal authority) by taking a vow to severely punish anyone who has dared to break his law. Furthermore, he backs his position up with Zeus, to whom he vows. </span>

Death for your punishment shall not suffice.

Sometimes people dream about their future. That's only their future. Not anybody else's. That is why I think all dreams have special meanings.

Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
GarryVolchara [31]

From the excerpt that we have here, the tone of the excerpt can be said to be sentimental.

<h3>What is a sentimental tone?</h3>

This can be described as the tone of a person that is full of emotions instead of one that is being rational.

The tone here is that that has to do with offering his mother protection that the speaker feels that she needs.

Raed more on sentiments here:

What is Lee’s intent by having Scout say: "…As for me, I knew nothing except what I gathered from Time magazine and reading ever
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

What Lee means is that Scout feels that school bores him.

As he says, he <em>“gathered from Time magazine and reading everything I could lay hands on at home”</em> which indicates that he was more advanced than his classmates, since <u>he had learned to read and write from an early age. </u>

Scout had high expectations before entering school, but once there, he realized that he would only spend the rest of the years in boredom.
