Transcript

00:00

Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by violent fairy tales Is your kid too well adjusted

00:09

Well try brothers grimm and see what that does to

00:12

the following passage Read stories But even santa claus with

00:18

being here about it all right Which sentence would provide

00:23

additional support that fairy tales were not intended to be

00:28

ideal worlds and hear the potential answers investor plain and

00:33

children listen locals person mentioned quite graphic All right well

00:39

the name of the game here is credibility The best

00:41

answer is going to come from some legit source which

00:44

helps the author hammer the main point home Option b

00:47

doesn't even come close It's not citing any kind of

00:50

source All we have is the author's word The children

00:53

back in the day understood the warnings of fairy tales

00:56

Now if the author brought in children from a time

00:59

machine in the past and then interviewed them well that

01:02

would be a different story but not the case here

01:04

So bye Choi see makes the same mistake Is b

01:07

it's just the author telling us that the fairy tales

01:10

had more impact because they were local Well we're not

01:13

saying that the author doesn't know what he or she

01:15

is talking about but we need something a little more

01:17

substantial than just a local On top of that whole

01:20

issue c is extra wrong because the point it makes

01:22

has nothing to do with the reason fairy tales were

01:25

not intended to show nice happy world We're looking for

01:29

solid evidence of a dark state of fairy tales before

01:31

disney came along and painted a smile on every fairies

01:34

face wow what would happen if we put a hard

01:36

core old school fairy in an iron cage match with

01:39

a sparkly disney fairy We shell out for the pay

01:42

per view okay option d does make a good point

01:45

The tarantino like violence of old fairy tales is pretty

01:48

solid evidence that the stories weren't meant to show what

01:51

we think of now as storybook world This answer has

01:55

a problem though we have no idea who the person

01:58

who mentions this point is so it could be a

02:01

fairytale expert or it could be the author's senile aunt

02:04

mabel we just don't know Well option a fixes the

02:07

problem by saying that a professor is the one presenting

02:10

the evidence professor Educated phd school right This would be

02:15

a stronger if we knew who the professor is and

02:17

what his or her credentials are If this professor's phd

02:21

was in basket weaving while then his heir opinion on

02:24

fairytales isn't much more valid than aunt mabel's Still even

02:28

though answer isn't perfect it's the best we got it's

02:31

kind of like the last deform cupcake in the pan

02:34

might not be perfect but it's Not like we're not 00:02:37.208 --> [endTime] going to eat it Ah
