Question
read the excerpt from the storyteller. \she did all that she was told, she was always truthful, she kept her clothes clean, ate milk puddings as though they were jam tarts, learned her lessons perfectly, and was polite in her manners.\ \was she pretty?\ asked the bigger of the small girls.
ot as pretty as any of you,\ said the bachelor, \but she was horribly good.\ there was a wave of reaction in favour of the story; the word horrible in connection with goodness was a novelty that commended itself. it seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunts tales of infant life. how does the underlined sentence contribute to the theme that culture can limit our thinking? it indicates that the aunts portrayal of right and wrong is inauthentic and unconvincing. it shows that children and adults have opposing perspectives on what goodness is. it characterizes the children as eager to accept any viewpoint that disagrees with their aunts. it satirizes the bachelors conception of goodness by comparing it to the one in the aunts story.
文中描述的女孩符合大人眼中的好女孩形象,但这种好可能是文化塑造的标准,而孩子们对这种标准有不同看法,体现了文化对思维的限制,即大人和孩子对何为“好”有对立观点。
