The figurative language in the passage, specifically the description of Father's face as "like a blank canvas," suggests that people in the narrator’s culture do not freely show their emotions. This implies a cultural tendency to mask feelings rather than express them openly. Therefore, the most fitting response is:
People in the narrator’s culture do not freely show their emotions.
