Re: [LM_NET] Target: folk tale challenge another thought

Yes, I agree that "fractured tales" opens the door to interpretation.  Personally, 
I think students need to get the foundation of traditional folklore before 
exploring the interpretive side.  It seems that those parents might have a point 
because yes the Hulk could be considered a "fractured tale."

  It occurs to me that the teacher also said a fractured tale, where an author 
bases their own credited work on an oral tradition tale. Although it is a stretch 
if the parent could justify that the Hulk character was based on such a story, I'd 
say they have a valid argument albeit probably a weak one at best. The Hulk 
character does have folk legend character feel to it.
