Sorry And here's your smoke to shore brought to you

00:05

by a glorious sunny day in england way Get the

00:08

wrong footage for this or is this er no uh

00:12

okay then Glorious sunny day You take the following passage

00:17

england eighteen thirty seven We're married already You're flying probably

00:23

you in front of each other Awesomeness Honor and hander

00:37

and and here's our question Based on this fasten what

00:41

is the author's principal theme And here the potential answer

00:47

Got it All right Well this is one of those

00:50

questions that a grumpy teacher probably wrote at the end

00:52

of a very long day At first glance every answer

00:56

appears to be correct Which makes this a daunting question

00:59

to answer It's appealing as it might seem to drop

01:01

out and start a new life is a circus clown

01:03

Well why don't we put down the clown nose for

01:05

a second try and tackle the chance or one at

01:07

a time All right fine You can keep the nose

01:10

pretty cool Let's Start with answer x you author definitely

01:13

compares americans to europe Ian so that part's correct But

01:16

the question is whether or not is a point by

01:18

point comparison so let's see what specific part of our

01:21

culture did she compare to european culture Music No literature

01:26

not so much about heart Not really In fact every

01:29

comparison made is pretty general which is the exact opposite

01:33

of going point by point Looks like answer is out

01:36

now Let's Try answer b there's no denying that this

01:39

lady believes european culture is superior to american culture Is

01:42

that really her main point on didn't seem like that

01:46

Kind of undermined the whole europeans Don't you feel to

01:48

appear in other cultures where americans do five she has

01:52

going on there So when you really be as well

01:54

how about see the author definitely does use this passion

01:58

to describe her interpretation of american mores which is another

02:02

word for customs as well as american manners but is

02:06

providing a description the main point of this passage Hartley

02:09

the author is not content to simply provide a description

02:12

she's determined to address a problem since have about themselves

02:16

and their country She does provide some ideas for how

02:19

americans can improve toward the end of this passage but

02:21

they're mentioned is almost an afterthought and certainly not as

02:24

the main point So that leaves us with the passage

02:28

is all about the author's view of the attitude americans

02:31

have toward america and how unhealthy she believes that attitude

02:35

to be But since the author probably wakes up to

02:37

this on a beautiful day maybe we should take her 00:02:41.345 --> [endTime] criticism with a grain of salt
