Okay see reading shmoop er's Here we go Two of

00:04

five in this block And the question they're asking isn't

00:07

here right here in the study of children's and household

00:09

tails resulted in the discovery Okay let's go the paragraph

00:17

here Publication Jacob and wilhelm grimm's children The household tale

00:20

two hundred years ago sparked enormous interest in traditional stories

00:23

told among the common people Inspired by the grimm's methods

00:26

researchers began venturing outside of the library and into villages

00:29

to collect colorful tales of magical beast wicked stepmothers enchanted

00:33

objects and unrelenting heroes One of the most exciting discovery

00:37

to come from these studies was the repetition of the

00:39

same plots among different societies and ethnic groups Interesting Okay

00:43

so the study resulted in discovery that what kind of

00:46

give it to us At the end there was most

00:48

exciting discovery cos of repetition same plots among different societies

00:52

and ethnic groups Okay well that's kind of surprising rich

00:54

and poor all like the good guy to win the

00:57

bad guy to be avenged on thie The winner gets

01:01

the pretty whatever Okay Well let's See cornered the passage

01:04

repetition appeared in the plot elements of stories from societies

01:07

that were never in contact with each other right in

01:09

those days rich and poor had big walls between him

01:12

Like you know on game of thrones This is particularly

01:14

cool because it implies that many aspects of the human

01:17

experience are universal regardless of one's location and oh by

01:22

the way there's a little online education company we know

01:25

of that rhymes with up that appeals to both rich

01:29

and poor as well Thank you very much So the

01:31

answer here is be different Societies tell stories with similar

01:34

plots All right let's go to the loser ball here

01:37

on the pastor's implies yeah the field research is effective

01:40

After all the researchers were going to villages revenue sitting

01:43

in musty libraries but our questions about what the researchers

01:46

discovered so get rid of a passage focuses on the

01:49

perspective of the researchers Not kids in remote areas were

01:52

to see rather than saying that all heroes look the

01:54

same well the research suggested that different ethnic groups had

01:57

their own version of similar heroes right so it's a

02:00

different piece there okay answers be and you know maybe 00:02:04.348 --> [endTime] grim force be with you or whatever they had
