Ever heard of the saying “stranger danger” Little Red Riding Hood hasn’t. The fairy tales that are taught and shared today teach life lessons. Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale recorder by The Brothers Grimm that is about a young naïve girl who is deceived by the Wolf and is taught a life lesson. Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale that originates from Germany and much of Europe and is about a girl who was hoodwinked by the Wolf and teaches a theme or moral about growing up, and being safe. The tale Little Red Riding Hood is said to originate from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century in Europe. Originally this tale was told orally thus the many different versions of this story. The first written versions are said to be published by Charles Perrault and The Brothers Grimm. Though the versions are very similar there are small differences. In Perrault’s version Little Red Riding Hood is told to bring her grandmother a cake and a little pot of butter, though in Grimm’s version it is written “One day her mother said to her: 'Come, Little Red Riding Hood, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine; take them to your grandmother,…” The differences in these versions are of the smaller differences.

The original version, written by Charles Perrault, has been told and passed down from generation to generation. Over the years, however, Perrault’s version has been taken by hundreds of other writers and has faced a number of different twists and turns, occasionally facing a whole new plot and outlook. For example, after reading Perrault’s version and “The Company of Wolves” by Angela Carter, the reader is able to conclude that even though both stories are different, they contain some forms of similarities as well.

Red takes action, goes against the social fairy tale norms. There are no huntsmen in the movie, rather instead, she takes in protection and attacks the wolf herself, starting off with mace. The little girl is portrayed to be aggressive than passive, sassy, has an attitude, and is a brat. Other than being passive, Red is considered to be smart. She is aware of the conflicts surrounding her and not to trust strangers, especially the big bad wolf that is following her. Alike being her grandmother, Red too is an adventurous female.

"Riding The Red"at first glance is a simple narrative with a grandmother telling a story about a wolf, but with further analyzation the two themes of first love and innocent become very clear. The author’s repetition of certain words like blood and dance directs your attention to a deeper meaning hinting and connections to the "Little Red Riding Hood" which reflects back to the underlining message of what happens when a girl grows up.
The short story of Leiningen Versus the Ants is a story in which the human versus nature aspect takes over. Leiningen soon realizes that even though he is a human nature can still overpower. He thinks that just because he is bigger and maybe even smarter, than the ants that that means that the ants could never stop him.

Throughout the story Leiningen has different opinions on the ants.

Fairy tales are under attack in the United States from both right- and left-oriented pressure groups. (Ravitch, 62-96) From the left, the charges include sexism, stereotyping, distortion, and anti-humanism. (Ravitch, 84) From the right, the charges include immorality and objections to the portrayal of violence, death, and the supernatural. In addition, some critics claim that the tales terrify their children. (Ravitch, 76). In The Language Police, Diane Ravitch claims that both groups understand the importance of putting pressure on state textbook adoption committees, and that, as a result of such pressure, most major publishers are simply dropping the tales from the textbooks they sell to

Chang, the Delaure's version of "The Story of Grandmother", and the original Grimm's version of "Little Red Riding Hood" there are many versions with similarities and differences within each story. What makes these stories so different or the same? Though they are both fascinating, they are more similar than you realize.

Carter remains consistent with the original story of Red Riding Hood, and elaborates on the girl's nature at the time the story takes place. Red's cheeks are scarlet, indicative of her becoming a woman; in contrast, "she is an unbroken egg; she is a sealed vessel...she does not know how to shiver" (2234). A reader may think this emphasis of her sexual inexperience reveals her naivety. However, Carter's exaggeration of Red's purity may be her way of questioning readers' assumption that since Red is an innocent woman, she will be victimized. The combination of Red's sexual maturity, contrasted with hyperbolic description of her innocence, and the climax of the story contribute to this possibility.
