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
The underlined sentence suggests that the aunt's version of right - wrong seems inauthentic as the bachelor's story with the word "horrible" in connection to goodness seems more real. It implies the aunt's portrayal is limited by cultural norms and lacks truth.
