As a child, revelations when it comes to books we read are usually simplistic and basic. However, as we age and grow as people and as students, we learn to think deeper into the meaning of the things we read, and analyze them differently than we did as children.

The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, written by Jon Scieszka, tells the well-known tale of the The Three Little Pigs, but from the wolf’s point of view.

Using something that looks delicious to eat and pairing it with what the wolf sees as appetizing increases the effectivity of the analogy, putting it further into perspective. Visibly seeing the cheeseburger with pieces of animals in it demonstrates how one can see something differently than another
