in paragraph 9 turkle makes an allusion reference to another author character or work to goldilocks what do you think turkle’s purpose is in this allusion

This question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation" by Sherry Turkle.

Turkle uses the allusion to strengthen the argument she made in the paragraph.

Explanation:

In paragraph 9, Turkle shows why communication via devices has become so popular in our society. She says that this success is because the devices allow us to have communication as far as we can control. This is because this communication is neither too much nor too little, but it is enough within the standards that we ourselves have established. To emphasize this argument, she uses the allusion to Goldilocks effectively, which explains the tendency of people to like things that are not so simple, but are not so complicated.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
