Jenna Marbles- What Disney Movies Taught Me

I always love watching Jenna Marbles's videos on YouTube.  This video in particular is one of my favorites.  She uses examples from many Disney movies as evidence for her argument that Disney movies teach people a range of things, such as the idea that all people who are "old, fat, and ugly" are evil, and that a girl's only purpose in life is to "find a prince and marry him".  This is argument by example.

I do love the examples that she uses throughout her video.  She definitely paid attention to who her audience was and knew that they would all know which Disney movies she was referring to and the story line of each movie (part of Kairos).  I feel, however, that she could have made an even better argument if she didn't constantly use vulgar language throughout the video.  Although most of the audience she is targeting is mature enough to be able to handle the language she uses, it could still have been a better argument if she didn't curse constantly.

Jenna definitely has good evidence and examples for each argument that she is stating throughout the video.  I was quite excited to watch a video where I knew exactly what she was referencing at any point during the video.  She is very creative, and makes some very good arguments throughout the video.
