Fort Hood

weird sisters like a modern version of the villain from snow white. I have chosen to dress the weird sisters identically, in empire inspired black dresses with form fitting bodices, accentuated waistlines, loose straight skirts, poet style sleeves and hoods to provide a cloak like effect. The outfit in general will blend in with the time period. By dressing them this…

Forest Name: Quiet Ash Grove (Devil's Playground, Faustian Forest) Riding I: The Prowling Wolf, He is Caring __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Winters in Jump City, California were rarely bothersome and cruel, quite the opposite in fact. By night, when the shadows ruled the land, small flakes of snow would fall from dark clouds above, and bless the earth with its magnificent beauty and form. Water would freeze…

The fairy tale “Lil Red Riding Hood” By Ronald Blackwell is a modern version of Little Red Riding Hood with a twist. Similarly to the traditional version, this modern fairy tale displays how men seek women. What really sets this modern version apart from the traditional version is the tone that this story is written in. This version of Little Red Riding Hood is written in a seductive tone and Blackwell has the wolf telling the story from his point of view. Unlike the traditional version where…

Little Red Hood is a fairy tale that can be found the Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s first collection Children’s and Household Tales in 1812 (Malone 4). The brothers were not the first to write this story, their version was created from versions of the story they were previously told (“Moral Warnings and Sexual Implications”). Compared to the version the brothers were told, they changed how the story ends (“Moral Warnings and Sexual Implications”). A second edition by the brothers was published in…

Fairy tales are often pictured as the stories parents would be reading at bedtime to their children before going to sleep. Mostly made of extraordinary features and starting with the famous “Once Upon a Time” are the stereotypes of fairy tales. Actually, the term fairy tales comes directly from French that is literally translated from contes de fées. In 1698, Countess Aulnoy initiated the use of the term “Contes de Fées” for the title of a book, and others writers started using the same term…

Little Red Riding Hood: An Alternative Earlier in the story, Little Red Riding Hood is warned of strangers, but little does she know, there can be worse things. Meanwhile, the wolf ran straight to the grandmother’s house and knocked at the door. “Who is it?” a weary old woman’s voice croaked from behind the door. “It is I, Little Red Cap. I have come with cake and wine to soothe your tired soul” sang back the wolf, in the best Little Red Cap voice he could produce. Now, sick as she may be,…

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, “Red Riding Hood,” and “Bluebeard” are all horrifying tales in their original standing as fairy tales. Yet, when related to this modern horror, The Shining, through the eyes of little Danny theses tales take on a new light…well more of darkness. Stephen King hints to other texts throughout this book, many are fairy tales. One of the deepest and eerie moments in relation to the tales is the chapter titled “Inside 217.” In this section,…

The second “wolf” in this story is drastically subtler than the outwardly terrifying worm creature, this wolf is less physical and more conceptual. This ferocious and terrifying “wolf” is the universally known terrible feeling that we call grief. Grief is defined as “keen mental suffering or distress over affliction or loss; sharp sorrow; painful regret.” This definition fits perfectly with the story presented in Emily Carroll’s “Through the Woods” in the short story “The Nesting Place”. Our…

In addition, when animals are represented as transfigured humans, both Disney films and oral folktales highlight the superiority of humans in relation to animals by conflating happiness with the restoration of the human condition. In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco regains his human form, is reinstated as emperor, and shares his wealth with Pacha and his family. In The Princess and the Frog, Navene and Tiana regain access to the human condition because of Tiana's new status as a princess, and…

Little red cap is the original story and hoodwinked is the fractured story. What make hoodwinked a fairy tale is that it is linked with little red cap and is not the same but the main features are changed for example granny in hoodwinked is active and all about living life and in the little red cap she is sick in bed. Some of the massive differences is that the recipes are being stolen, that red is a bit mouthy, no one dies in hoodwinked. Some of the things that are similar is that there is a…
