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
