Little Red Riding Hood Told From The Grandmother's Perspective

In the Louis and Francois Briffault’s version ‘The Story of Grandmother’ the Little Red Riding Hood is not described, though it is narrated through dialogues which can allow a readers imagination work on the girls character upon her actions. The only hint in this version to realise the Little Red Riding

One day my mom came and found me and my sister and told us we had to go somewhere. We went and found our shoes and started heading out the door. My sister and I started hoping down the front steps just about running into a vehicle parked out front. My mom told me and my sister to get in, both of us were kind of scared but we did it anyways. So me and my sister attempted getting into the big vehicle, well it may not have been that big, but to us it seemed like it was. We drove for what seemed like hours till all of a sudden the car stopped. I opened the door and hoped out onto the cold hard cement. I didn’t know where we were at, I had never seen this place before. The people in the car and my mom told us to go up to the front steps and they will be right behind us. So me and my sister made our way up the steps and to a big front door. We looked and found a doorbell and chose to push it. After just a little while the door opened and this younger couple looked down at us with huge smiles on their faces.

The parents were fed up with our wild animal like behavior and told us to play downstairs in the basement. We all went down the basement and started to playing tag. Therefore, we had to be careful playing because the basement was not finished at the time and had metal studs where the walls are supposed to go and the concrete floors that are now hardwood. When everybody went upstairs because they were as tired as an olympic runner after a meet my Dad came down to fix a light bulb. He used a ladder to fix it so he could reach and when he was done he went upstairs so I was the only one in the basement. I wanted to be like my Dad so I decided to climb the ladder. I was at the top when my foot slipped off the ladder. Somehow I was able to turn my body around and grab onto a pipe to stop myself from falling. I felt the pipe starting to brake so I decided to swing on to the metal stud next to me because I was sure that was going to hold me. When my

I was seven years old and it was in the middle of the summer and I almost got run over by a car. The day was going really good just like any other summer day; I got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, and went outside to play. For breakfast that day we had pancakes that tasted like they were made by angels. Before Chris and I went outside our mom yelled, “Be back by lunch or I’m going to send your dad out there to get you!”

Well I didn't know what to do so I sold the house for money,but that money went by fast.I officially thought I was the most unluckiest kid to live. I was hungry and I didn't know what to do I had no more family,and I was freezing. I think it was about midnight, and I was walking on Acol road. While I was walking a marble rolled to my feet, and then I heard a pssst!

The next day when my parents returned home from work, they called me into the living room. This scared me a little, they only did this when something bad was happening. When I walked into the living room, my father was sitting in a chair and my mother was sitting on our couch. When

We lived in a very small house on the end of Elm Street. I worked at the nearby bakery that smelled so fragrant every time you walked into it. Pa worked for a small farm down the street and Ma was a maid. While we would all be at work, Susie and Chuck would either be at school or at home. The morning after Ma and Pa left, I went to work at the bakery while Chuck stayed home for a few hours and watched Susie. It was half past one o’clock when I got a call from Chuck. He told me to get home right away and that is was an emergency.

The summer between 7th and 8th grade I woke up to an empty home. I looked everywhere and I couldn't find my mom. I walked into the kitchen and she had left a note. She'd call me as soon as she could and she loved me very much. She called later that day to inform me that she was in the hospital and she was okay but she'd have to stay so I would be home alone that night. As a pre-teen, this was both terrifying and exhilarating. I was home alone! I could do whatever I want and no one could tell me no! I drank milk from the jug and I had ice cream for dinner, I watched a PG-13 movie and

I ran upstairs crying filled with terror. I come to the top of my steps and turn to see my dad holding my 7 year old sister Alli crying in his arms. It looked like my dad had just seen a ghost, because he was so scared. Considering we were all extremely scared we all slept in our parent’s room. Next thing you know my dad got a text from our neighbors Stacey and Tyler saying our tree was on

When Tehani was 9 and I was 10 we where up our uncle's ranch chasing calfs. A calf got loose and it chased after Tehani. As she was watching the calf chase after her she turned to look back and WHAM!! she ran right into the bobwire fence. I imeadietly rode my horse to rope the calf. Tehani stood up and laughed like the sun. As she stood up she was red as a tomato. Her face and body was scratched and slightly bloody. I took the calf back and grabbed the horse. My horse was as tired as a bear in hibernation. So I saddled up my other horse like fast and furious and dashed off to Tehani and told her to take the horse back to the rach to go get cleanrd off. I stayed back to help my uncle with the rest of the calfs. That night Tehani and I rode

I remember coming home eagerly waiting for my older sister to arrive home so I could tell her about everything I learned in my third grade class. I was looking out the window for hours, waiting for her to arrive home, my mother told me that she was probably staying after to make up a test before she left for work. It was evening when my father arrived home and she still was not there. He noticed me gazing out the window because he promptly asked me,

While walking in the woods, Little Red Riding Hood met a wolf. The wolf stops her and asked her where are you going? Then she tells the wolf she’s going to grandmothers. Quickly the wolf takes a shortcut and runs straight to grandmother's house.

Little Red Riding Hood is one of the most well known fairy tales. It has been retold many times by many different people. I will be comparing two versions of this story. One is by the famous Brothers Grimm and the other is a TV show called Once Upon a Time.

Folktales has created men as the most powerful character in most stories but that does not mean always as there’s a difference in Grandmother’s tale and Little Red Riding hood. Different genders have different expectations according to their characteristics. The Red Riding Hood and Grandmother’s tale has produced ideas such as how a girl’s life is looked upon in the past and how the male has the upper hand in most situations according to the stories. This essay will argue about how the girl’s gender played a major role in the context of the story and how the wolf is represented by a male character and why the male is not always the most powerful character in all stories and the comparison

The fairy tales we all read when we were young seemed so innocent but a second look at a older age they turned out to be filled with some shocking details that we all missed. The Little Red Riding Hood tale is one of the earliest ones that I was told as a child and it was something that taught not only me but many others. As I re-read that fairy tale there were many things that shocked me because I was not aware of it before then. In the story Riding Hood’s mother ask her to take food and some other things to her grandmother who lives in the next village over. In this story it does not specify how old riding hood is but I can only assume that she is at a young age because of the name that she goes by which is Little Red Riding Hood. At this point I was shocked because why in the world would any good mother send her young daughter all alone to her grandmother's house in the next village over with the only path leading that way is through a thick dense forest. This is at very beginning of the story and already there was something that was a little
