Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Because cartoons are geared for a childrens understanding and attention span. Most cartoons are about a half hour long because a kid can only stay interested in a storyline for so long. Older people watch soaps for differing reasons. Some think they can solve the actors problems. Some live through the actors' lives. Some are bored and like the fantasy life of the character. Some, like myself, have watched soaps since I was really little, with my mom. I don't know what you call "old people shows" but I like CSI, Crossing Jordan, Las Vegas and American Idol. I don't know what category that puts me in...but maybe I am an old person. Depends how old you are compared to me. You could be right! I still like to watch cartoons too, like Shrek and Toy Story. One of my favorite comedies is Home Alone 1 and 3. So, I guess it depends on the old person, huh? <*)))><
Student:
Why do kids love cartoons and old people love soap operas, and old people shows?
