Which two sentences from the story’s introduction best support your answer to part A in once upon a time

English
1 answer:

4 0

The two sentences from the story's introduction that best support the answer to part A in "Once Upon a Time" are:

D. "I have no burglar bars, no gun under the pillow, but I have the same fears as people who do take these precautions." (Paragraph 5)

F. "I couldn't find a position in which my mind would let go of my body - release me to sleep again. So I began to tell myself a story, a bedtime story." (Paragraph 8)

  • "Once Upon a Time" is a short story by Nadine Gordimer in which she contrasts the innocence of children's books and bedtime stories with the tragedy that results from fear.
  • The narrator - most likely Gordimer herself - cannot go back to sleep after waking up to strange noise in her house.
  • The bedtime story she tells herself to go back to sleep, however, is far from innocent and uplifting.
  • It is about the awful reality of Apartheid; about how people, desperate for security amidst the riots and thefts, locked themselves behind bars in their own homes.
  • The bedtime story the narrator tells herself is one of fear and violence caused by injustice and prejudice.
  • With that in mind, we can choose options D and F as the best answers. They mention the precautions of those people who crave security and the comfort of a bedtime story.
