Abstract
The A. argues that the male-centered Marchen of Halpert and Widdowson's Folktales of Newfoundland offer models of behavior for young working-class men, particularly in their relationships with employers. Close reading of the tales shows them to be lessons in life as seen from the perspective of a subordinated social class: they tell young men how to be in order to get employment and protect themselves from exploitation. Advice is also given regarding whom to trust and how to conduct love relationships. A further conclusion of the study is that for a quintessentially maritime culture, Newfoundland's magic tales refer surprisingly often to an agricultural world as their implicit background. The A. suggests that this reflects a continuity of culture between Newfoundland and the areas in southeast Ireland and southwest England from which its settlers came. The transference of working-class modes of self-presentation from the West of England to Newfoundland is argued on the basis of personal fieldwork and published literature.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
