“The Medicine Bag” by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve tells the story of a kid name Martin. He has a Sioux grandpa who lives on a reservation, and he loves to tell many stories of him. However, many of the stories he tells to his friends are exaggerated to the point that the person his friends think his grandpa is like, is nowhere close to the reality of Martin’s grandpa. This is fine when his grandpa lives on the reservation, but his grandpa decided to come to Martin’s house. Not wanting his friends to see that his grandpa was not as good as he told, Martin pretends his grandpa isn’t at his house and doesn’t treat him with respect. He is embarrassed and obsessed because of his Grandpa. The story shows us the theme that you shouldn’t be embarrassed of you ancestry.
The line from “The Medicine Bag” that best illustrates Martin’s conflict with his Grandpa’s arrival is:
“His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement.”
Martin always lied about his grandpa not being there when his friends came to meet him, and in this time he saw no scaping from the situation, more than "wanting to sink his head through the pavement"
Answer:
Reporting on good deeds may change society’s expectations about performing them.
Explanation:
"Putting Good Deeds in Headlines May Not Be So Good" is an article written by Tovia Smith. In his report, Smith says that when good deeds are publicized, one dimishes the value of being good or doing good deeds. While interviewing an expert, the expert said to Smith that when the good deeds, which should be an ordinary norm, is portrayed as extraordinary, it brings moral inflation. Performing good deeds should not be made an extraordinary thing as it poses the danger of creating expectations of not doing good.
People should perform good deeds as a normal standard, as a human being, and not to get a celebrity treatment.
Thus, the central idea of the article is that reporting about good deeds pose the threat of changing society's view on performing them as well.
