Read the excerpt from "the storyteller."
how does the underlined sentence contribute to the theme
that culture can limit our thinking?
"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.
it indicates that the aunt's 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 aunt's.
it satirizes the bachelor's conception of goodness by
comparing it to the one in the aunt's story,
"not 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 aunt's tales of infant life.
