The story went that the girl Laura's family had planned to have a party, but meanwhile a workman died in the neighborhood, so Laura suggested cancelling the party, which was thought ridiculous by the adult members in the family. This paper is to analyze the moral changes inside Laura, as is seen that she felt astonished and cold about her family's ruthlessness and realized some value distance between her and other family members. Based on the above analysis, this paper aims at revealing the collision between the innocent child soul and the distorted adult world."The Garden Party" is Katherine Mansfield’s most outstanding short story.
