The tale of the Little Red Riding Hood has transformed over time being passed down from generation to generation. The version of these two tales most everyone knows is the innocent story we once heard as children known as The Little Red Cap, a short story by the Grimm Brothers. Although there are innocent versions of this tale there are also versions that could be considered to be more scandalous, such as Angela Carter’s The Company of Wolves. Throughout history there have been many different…

Little Red Riding Hood Revisited by Russell Baker In an effort to make the classics accessible to contemporary readers, I am translating them into the modern American language. Here is the translation of the Little Red Riding Hood: Once upon a point in time, a small person named Little Red Riding Hood initiated plans for the preparation, delivery, and transportation of foodstuffs to her grandmother, a senior citizen residing at a place of residence in a wooded area of indeterminate…

The Three Little Pigs and the Wolf Once upon a time in a fairy tale land lived a wolf. Not the “Big Bad Wolf” who follows Little Red Riding Hood and eats Grandma, no this wolf’s name was not menacing, it was Rufus. Rufus was a smart, regular wolf who didn’t follow little girls to their grandmother’s house to eat her and the old lady. He had dark grey fur, and big, intense yellow eyes, and gnarly yellowed fangs. Now when most people see a wolf they are afraid and want to get away, but…

While reading the “Little Red Ridding Hood”, one of the underlying message that was directed to children is not to talk to wolfs because you might become their meal. Little Red Ridding Hood was allowed to wonder in the woods to her grandmother’s house all alone and on her way she encountered a wolf who asked her several questions. Little Red Ridding Hood not knowing best told the wolf everything. Because of this Little Red Ridding Hood’s grandmother and Little Red Ridding Hood were both eaten by…

I can say that opposed to other versions of “Little Red Riding Hood” I have come to enjoy your version of “Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf most of all. However, I would like to know why did you decide to go straight to the part where the wolf eats the grandmother? I feel that we need to know more of about “LRRH” and how she becomes an epitome of Lara Croft. In the original version “LRRH” is perceived as a naïve young girl who takes baked goods to her sick grandmother and is eaten up by the…

illustrations of “Little Red Riding Hood” differently due to their different ways of looking at things. Bettelheim looks at the illustration through a psychoanalytic view while May observes through a critical theorist viewpoint. Since Bettelheim approaches “Little Red Riding Hood” in a psychoanalytic way, he believes the key moment is when Little Red Riding Hood is in bed with the wolf. Bettelheim looks at the fairy tale through a psychoanalytic view which is why he perceives the key moment as a…

Introduction George Silk photo of Little Rock Integration was taken on September 25th 1957. This piece is a part of Life Photo Collection located in New York, New York. I chose this artwork, because it reminds me of how hard it was for integration in the Deep South especially in my home state of Arkansas. My first impression is how much courage it took for nine African-American students to go against all odds and enter Central High on that day. Also, this shows me how hard it was to be black…

Many artists in popular culture tend to incorporate fairy tale elements in their work. These elements can be found in work such as television, literature, art, advertising, etc. While “LITTLE RED CAP” and Taken differ in plots, Taken contains the fairy-tale elements of youthful innocence, and danger which are central to the fairy tale. The movie is about a seventeen year-old girl named Kim who gets kidnapped by the Albanian mafia and used for prostitution and woman trafficking along with other…

which include two specific ones that will be discussed in this paper: Little Red Cap and Cinderella. Little Red Cap is a story of a little girl who has to deliver goods to her grandmother and meets a sly wolf. This wolf decides to eat her grandmother as well as Little Red Cap and does this by pretending to be the Grandmother when Little Red Cap arrives. A hunter that is nearby hears the wolf and rescues the Grandmother as well as Little Red Cap. The second story that is discussed is Cinderella.…

I believe that the story of Little Red Riding Hood follows the virtue ethics because virtues involves who a person is becoming. Little Red’s mother tells her to stay on the path while delivering goods to her ill grandmother, but after not listening to her mother’s instructions, Little Red stumbles off the path and picks flowers for her grandmother. Virtue ethics involves, “what we do when no one is watching”. I believe that since Little Red was alone in the woods, she could have easily eaten the…
