In "The Sociopsychological Analysis of Folktales" by J.L Fischer, Fisher mentions the aspect of these folktales and how to some people they are just tall tales told to younger children but to others it is a tradition to tell these myths and stories with animals portraying human chatcteristics. Fischer also mentions Folklore in European parts and how it focuses on nationalism, I thought that folklores were fake stories so how does that symbolizes nationalism. Well if view nationalism as in world wide it is true these stories are told world wide even stories that orginated in Europe or even others hired world countries like china. Throughout the years,each time these stories are told over orally, these stories onus to change, so who knows what the original story actually is. But that is important is moral behind each story.  I feel like Fischer mostly focuses on how these folktales are a bigger picture, it starts off with these folktales and then the importance behinds them is what is really important. I didn't really get all of Fischer's article because it was just so long and a bit hard to comprehend, well for me.  But also Fischer compares folktales to a lot of anthropology and philosophy and anthropology is he study of things like human behavior and etc so what does folktales, animals stories hav to do with the studies of anything, well I think when Fischer mentions anthropology he's talking about in the past and present day people are still studying the importance and the reasoning for Hesse stories and myths that are being told all over the world, mostly to children to teach them lessons on moralality.
