What’s the influence of the grown-ups’ response to the author
I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter.
So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes.
I would talk to him about bridge, and golf…. a sensible man.
Read for details
Have a discussion with your classmates about why the author and the grown-ups have different ideas.
Because they have different perspectives on the world. Children understand the world by senses, so they are more creative and imaginative; while the grown-ups are more knowledgeable and experienced, so they are limited and reasonable.
Read for attitude
Choose the author’s attitude towards grown-ups and find evidence to support your choice.
1 Grown-ups are more practical than children. They want to teach children knowledge that will be useful in the future.
2 Grown-ups are no better than children. They lack imagination and only care about matters of consequence.
3 Grown-ups are more knowledgeable than children. They can understand everything by themselves.
Activity 3
Read for attitude
2 Grown-ups are no better than children. They lack imagination and only care about matters of consequence.
Evidence:
1. They always need to have things explained. (Para. 6)
2. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. (Para. 7)
3. …, I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. (Para. 9)
4. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man. (Para. 12)

Read the sentences from the passage and answer the questions.
1 What does the author really mean by these sentences
Most of the grown-ups I have met are the same. They focus on practical matters only and seldom pay attention to imagination or creativity. If I pretend to think the way they do, the adults will conclude that I am sensible and mature.

2 What figure of speech does the author use How does this figure of speech help to express the author’s attitude
Irony. This figure of speech enables the author to indicate his low opinion of adults’ behaviour and values by stressing such things.
