Jennifer Ross' America & the Return to the Classic Fairytale WHEN FAIRYTALES END The Return to the Moral Ending Waldorf Carathers - The sub-class of the folktale, fairy tales are stories featuring folkloric characters i.e. talking animals, goblins, trolls ect.. These stories often involve royalty, and modern versions usually have a happy ending. Privileged Jennifer Ross & (Father) Rusty Ross "While fairytales exist in most all cultures, it is the history of the fairytale in American culture, where the *happy ending* version most developed, that is most fascinating," noted Kirkland Jones, professor of African American literature and author of Renaissance Man from Louisiana. "In traditional socities, fairytales are oral and literary vehicles used to teach morals and values. The idiom moral-at-the-end-of-the-story was birthed as such. "Americans, however, have prefered a happy-ending story rather than the embrace of one with a moral. "This type story justifies any behavior by its protagonist without the fear of any moral retribution in its end." "Take the story of Little Red Riding Hood, for example. The Wolf, the story's antagonist is cast as the bad guy; but Red Riding's Hood foolish enough to enter the forest, unprotected, with a basket filled with goodies." The Wolf was only doing what was right by nature. Hence we can now look the pretentiousness of Jennifer Ross. But too, with its obsession of wanting the happy-ending, but not deserving it, we can look to America. According to a 2004 poll of 1,200 children by UCI Cinemas, the most popular fairy tales (in the USA) are listed below. I've updated it with a new exciting tale: 1. Cinderella 2. Sleeping Beauty 3. Hansel and Gretel 4. Rapunzel 5. Little Red Riding Hood 6. Little Mermaid 7. Town Musicians 8. Jennifer Ross & Big Bad Wolf Fairytales have helped the under developed psyche of white Americans to justify and embrace their brutal treatment of other people and cultures to their future generations while affording them the luxury of thinking there are no retributions for their actions.
