Li'L Red Riding Hoodlum: Twisted Fairy Tale

The implied thesis I could gather from reading Little Red Riding Hood's story was "Listen to your mother and most importantly do not fall off course because otherwise bad outcomes will come about". This proved so significant in that Little Red not reaching her grandmother's in a timely fashion gave the wolf his chance to eat not only one, but two people. In essence, this is quite problematic due to Little Red Riding Hood receiving clear instructions from her mother and not abiding by those instructions. She was told to be very quiet on her journey and reach grandmother's before it gets too hot outside. And if she does not grandma will not get any better. Consequently, Little Red did not do what she was supposed to. Instead, she traveled deeper

The version Perrault had Little Red Riding Hood had a cake and a little pot of butter her mother gave her to take it to her sick grandmother’s house. So off she went to her grandmother's house into the woods where she was found by the wolf. The wolf had asked her a lot of questions only to find out where she was going so that he could later eat her. With the questions, the wolf had found out she was going to her grandmother's house then tricked her into giving him the location. He took the straight path making it first while Little Red took a roundabout way. The wolf had made it to the house and then ate Little Red's grandmother. Then he waited in the grandmother's clothes for Little Red. When she got there she knocked on the door and the wolf told her how to get in. then Little Red began questioning the wolf in her grandmother's clothes. Little Red had ask her last question “Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!” The wolf then ate Little Red. The story then

Triumphant reward in spite of unjust punishment is a universal sentiment that transcends languages and cultures. There are thousands of folktales and fairy tales that are firmly rooted in individual cultures, yet the tale of Cinderella has been told through many centuries and throughout the far corners of the world. With thousands of versions of this classic tale in print worldwide, the tale is believed to have originated with the story of Rhodopis, a Greek slave girl who is married to an Egyptian King. The story of Rhodopis, which means rosy-cheeks, dates back to 7 BC and is attributed to a Greek geographer named Strabo. The Chinese variation of this fairy tale is named Yeh-hsien. The Chinese version is traceable to the year 860 and appears in Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang by Duan Chengshi. Yeh-hsien is a young girl, motherless and in the control of her stepmother, who befriends a treasured fish. The jealous step-mother kills the fish, but it’s bones provide Yeh-hsien with magical powers, eventually enabling Yeh-hsien to escape the control of her step-mother for a royal life. The Story of the Black Cow which is found within the pages of Folk Tales from the Himalayas by John Murray, published in 1906, the child who is mistreated by a stepmother is a male and the role of savior is portrayed by a snake, with a cow serving as the moral of the story, faithfulness. These two versions of Cinderella carry many common threads that are

It is a cold and stormy night, Walter Schiedel was in a hurry as though he was running late. He looks at his phone, no new messages, he is relieved. Hopefully they are not there yet, he thinks as he picks up his pace. He tries to remember when was the last time he has seen Roger V. Gould and Randall Collins. It seemed like ages ago. He turns the corner and sees Randall first. They hug and walk in the bar together. He notices Roger grabbing a few beers from the bartender. Roger sees Walter and yells, “Hey Walter! We got a booth in the back near the darts”. Walter smiles, tonight is going to be a good night, he thinks. As they sit down, they begin to catch up, they talk about their works and attempt to engage in a conversation about violence when a fight breaks out by the bathroom. Two women are seen escorted out of the bar, yelling and throwing their shoes at each other in attempts to hit the other. There is a crowd rushing outside, hoping that these women fight

When he said he was going out instead, she got even more upset, and hit him in the back of the head with frozen lamb meat. The author shows and explains her thought process during this time She strangely started thinking clearly. The fact of her being a friend of the police officers helped

Comparing Little Red Riding Hood folktales is a multi tasks operation, which includes many elaborations on the many aspects of the story. Setting, plot, character origin, and motif are the few I chose to elaborate solely on. Although the versions vary, they all have the motif trickery, the characters all include some sort of villain with a heroin, the plot concludes all in the final destruction or cease of the villain to be, and, the setting and origins of the versions vary the most to where they are not comparable but only contrastable, if one can say that origins and settings are contrastable.

Argghhh yes, yes, I am the wolf from little red riding hood and yes, I know what you are thinking, I should be punished because “I ate Grandma” well not really. Wait till you hear my side of the story and then you will believe that I am fully innocent. I have been accused of eating Little Red Riding Hood’s Grandma and pretending to be someone that I’m not! How rude is it that someone would think I would do that! It’s a misunderstanding. I promise your honor, I am fully innocent!

They were at the police station. They were asked by an officer to come there while they were on the road. Jerry Colbert was one of them, he had often thought of things negatively, and was very naive. The other was his best friend Robert Terry, he was the exact opposite of Jerry, and was the positive and the compassionate one. Besides that, they got along very well. “Remind me again why we are here.” said Jerry. “You are here because you are a suspect for a punishable crime.” said Officer Sánchez. “What crime is suspected of him Officer?” said Robert.

In the story of “Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf”, Roald Dahl interprets the little girl as a gun-wielding murderer. While in most of the other interpretations of this story we’ve read this semester, she seemingly is just a young and naive little girl. When she walks into grandmothers house she has no idea that her grandmother has already been eaten, and soon enough finds out that the wolf has scheduled her to be next on his list. The pistol that Little Red Riding hood secretly wields ends up telling him otherwise. For this reason it can be argued that Little Red Riding Hood is the antagonist of this story, not the wolf. There are several facts that support this statement, and they are described as follows.

After he eats Little Red Riding Hood, the Wolf decides to take a nap. The Baker wanders in and sees the cape as red as blood sticking out of the Wolf’s mouth.

Little Red Riding Hood is European folk mythology which teaches children the dangers of the unknown through the story of the titular protagonist and her encounter with ‘The Wolf’. Charles Perrault penned the first version for print in 1697 in Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals. Tales of Mother Goose; these stories are highly moralized and didactic with their roots in early French folklore. It was in this version that the significant meaning of the iconic ‘red hood’ was first noted. I will be focusing my exploration into adaptation on three of Angela Carter’s short stories from her collection The Bloody Chamber; The Werewolf, Wolf Alice and The Company of Wolves. Collectively these stories are known as ‘The Wolf Trilogy’ and henceforth

Her grandmother being ill, her mother had baked a cake and a pot of butter hoping that it would make her feel better; however, while Little Red Riding Hood was taking her the food to her grandmother is when she met the wolf in the forest

Fairy tales are something that everyone has read or seen, they all seem to have important lessons at the end of each one to teach young children some of the lessons they need for life. These fairy tales when we were younger all seemed innocent and something we all hoped that would happen to us. Little did we know as we got older that the fairy tales we all knew and loved when we were younger, weren't as innocent as they seemed.
