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

00:06

by violent fairy tales Is your kid too well adjusted

00:11

Well try brothers grimm following passage way every stories But

00:18

there were a way to santa claus You hear about

00:22

it L all right here we go Which sentence would

00:26

provide additional support that fairy tales were not intended to

00:31

be ideal worlds and hear the potential answer professor claimed

00:37

children listen locals graphic All right well the name of

00:43

the game here is credibility The best answer is going

00:46

to come from some legit source which helps the author

00:49

hammer the main point home Option b doesn't even come

00:52

close It's not citing any kind of source All we

00:55

have is the author's words that children back in the

00:57

day understood the warnings of fairy tales Now if the

01:00

author brought in children from a time machine in the

01:03

past and then interviewed them will be a different story

01:07

choi see makes the same mistake Is b it's just

01:10

the author telling us that the fairy tales had more

01:12

impact because they were local Well we're not saying that

01:15

the author doesn't know what he or she is talking

01:17

about But we need something a little more substantial than

01:20

just a local On top of that whole issue c

01:23

is extra wrong because the point it makes has nothing

01:26

to do with the reason fairy tales were not intended

01:29

to show nice happy worlds We're looking for solid evidence

01:33

of the dark state of fairy tales before disney came

01:35

along and painted a smile on every fairies face what

01:38

would happen if we put a hard core old school

01:40

fairy in an iron cage match with a sparkly disney

01:43

fairy We shell out for the pay per view Okay

01:47

option d does make a good point The tarantino like

01:50

violence of old fairy tales is pretty solid evidence that

01:53

the stories weren't meant to show what we think of

01:56

now as storybook world This answer has a problem Wei

02:00

have no idea who the person who mentions this point

02:04

is it could be a fairytale expert or it could

02:07

be the author's senile aunt mabel we just don't know

02:10

Well option a fixes the problem by saying that a

02:12

professor is the one presenting the evidence This would be

02:15

a stronger if we knew who the professor is and

02:18

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

02:21

was in basket weaving well then his heir opinion on

02:24

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

02:28

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

02:32

kind of like the last deform cupcake in the pan

02:35

might not be perfect but it's Not like we're not 00:02:37.76 --> [endTime] gonna eat it Yeah
