4.The Civil Rights Movement: What Good Was It?
Alice Walker
TextWhen we are children, growing up in our parents’ care, we○
world.Sometimes our parents provide it—if we are lucky—sometimes it comes from another
source far from home.☆We sit, paralyzed, surrounded by our anxiety and dread, hoping we will not have to grow up into the narrow world and ways we see about us.☆face.2It was just six years ago that I began to be —for I am ○
now twenty-three—but I did not really know it.And I did not know it because nobody told me that I—a pensive, yearning, typical high-school senior, but Negro—existed in the minds of others as I existed in my own.☆Until that time my mind was locked apart from the outer contours and complexion of my body as if it and the body were strangers.The mind possessed both thought and spirit—I wanted to be an author or a scientist—which the color of the body denied.I had never seen myself and existed as a statistic exists, or as a phantom.In the white world I walked, less real to them than a shadow;and being young and well hidden among the slums, among people who also did not exist—either in books or in films or in the government of their own lives—I waited to be called to life.And, by a miracle, I was called.【在前两段中,What words does the author uses to describe her state of being in her early days?

3There was a commotion in our house that night in 1960.We had managed to buy our first ○
television set.It was battered and overpriced, but my mother had gotten used to watching the
afternoon soap operas at the house where she worked as maid, and nothing could satisfy her on days when she did not work but a continuation of her “stories.” So she pennies and bought a set.【Why did mother have a TV set and how did she get their it? 】
第四段是个重点段落,也是个较难的段落。建议朗读这一段来仔细体会。

4I remained listless throughout her “stories,” tales of pregnancy, abortion, hypocrisy, infidelity, ○
and alcoholism.All these men and women were white and lived in houses with servants, long staircases that they floated down, patios where liquor was served four times a day to comfortable chair, watched each movement of the smartly coiffed women, heard each word, pounced upon each innuendo and inflection, and for the duration of these “stories” she saw herself as one of them.She placed herself in every scene she saw, with her braided hair turned blond, her two hundred pounds compressed into a sleek size-seven dress, her smooth and white.Her husband became “,” talented, witty, urbane, charming.And when she turned to look at my father sitting near her in his sweat shirt with his smelly feet raised on the bed to “air,” there was always a tragic look of surprise on her face.Then she would sigh and go out to the kitchen looking lost and unsure of herself.My mother, a truly great woman who raised eight children of her own and half a dozen of the neighbors’ without a single complaint, was convinced that she did not exist compared to “them.” She subordinated her soul to theirs and became a faithful and timid supporter of the “Beautiful White People.” ☆Once she asked me, in a moment of vicarious pride and despair, if I didn’t think that “they” were “jest naturally smarter, prettier, better.” My mother asked this: a woman who never got rid of any of her children, never cheated on my father, was never a hypocrite if she could help it, and never even tasted liquor.She could not even bring herself to blame “them” for making her believe what they wanted her to believe: that if she did not look like them, think like them, be sophisticated and corrupt-for-comfort’s-sake like them, she was a nobody.Black was not a color on my mother;it was a shield that made her invisible.【How much is the author interested in those TV programs? How much is the mother interested in them? What kind of TV programs these are? 】【What does Alice feel about her mother? What is the image of her mother in Alice's essay? 】
【对妈妈的细节描写中,有没有哪一处你觉得特别动人?】【作者用了很大的篇幅描写妈妈看了电视之后的心情,注意她的描写。思考:为什么作者花这么大篇幅描写这一点?】
5Of course, the people who wrote the soap-opera scripts always made the Negro maids in ○
them steadfast, trusty, and wise in a home-remedial sort of way;but my mother, a maid for nearly forty years, never once identified herself with the scarcely glimpsed black servant’s face beneath the ruffled cap.Like everyone else, in her daydreams at least, she thought she was free.6Six years ago, after half-heartedly watching my mother’s soap operas and wondering whether ○
there wasn’t something more to be asked of life, the Civil Rights Movement came into my life.Like a good omen for the future, the face of Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr., was the first black face I saw on our new television screen.☆And, as in a fairy tale, my soul was stirred by the meaning for me of his mission—at the time he was being rather ignominiously dumped into a police van for having led a protest march in Alabama—and I fell in love with the sober and determined face of the Movement.The singing of “We Shall Overcome”——rang for the first time in my ears.☆The influence that my mother’s soap operas might have had on me became impossible.The life of Dr.King, seeming bigger and more miraculous than the man himself, because of all he had done and suffered, offered a pattern of strength and sincerity I felt I could trust.He had suffered much because of his simple belief in nonviolence, love, and brotherhood.☆Perhaps the majority of men could not be reached through these beliefs, but because Dr.King kept trying to reach them in spite of danger to himself and his family, I saw in him the hero for whom I had waited so long.【注意作者怎样描写她忽然从电视上看到马丁路德金,以及她的感受。】【注意哪些词句把这一段的内容和前文联系起来了。】
1.○7这一段句子很长,注意断句。What Dr.King promised was not a ranch-style house and an acre of manicured lawn for every black man, but jail and finally freedom.He did not promise two cars for every family, but the courage one day for all families everywhere to walk without shame and unafraid on their own feet.☆He did not say that one day it will be us chasing prospective buyers out of our prosperous well-kept neighborhoods, or in other ways exhibiting our snobbery and ignorance as all other ethnic groups before us have done;what he said was that we had a right to live anywhere in this country we chose, and a right to a meaningful well-paying job to provide us with the upkeep of our homes.He did not say we had to become carbon copies of the white American middle class;but he did say we had the right to become whatever we wanted to become.【What is the point that the author tries to make clear in this paragraph? How does Alice understand King's ideas?】
8Because of the Movement, because of an awakened faith in the newness and imagination of ○
the human spirit, because of “black and white together”—for the first time in our history in some human relationship on and off TV—because of the beatings, the arrests, the hell of battle during the past years, I have fought harder for my life and for a chance to be myself, to be something more than a shadow or a number, than I had ever done before in my life.Before, there had seemed to be no real reason for struggling beyond the effort for daily bread.Now there was a chance at that other than Jesus meant when He said we could not live by bread alone.【这句话怎么理解?】
9I have fought and kicked and fasted and prayed and cursed and cried myself to the point of ○
existing.It has been like being born again, literally.Just “ to me.Knowing has pushed me out into the world, into college, into places, into people.10Part of what existence means to me is knowing the difference between ○
being able to tell when I am being wronged and by whom.It means being awake to protect myself and the ones I love.It means being a part of the world community, and being alert to which part it is that I have joined, and knowing how to change to another part if that part does not suit me.To know is to exist: to exist is to be involved, to move about, to see the world with my own eyes.This, at least, the Movement has given me.【Does Alice Walker answer the question that she raises in the title of this article? To Alice, what good was civil rights movement? 】
