"Little Red Riding Hood": Write a descriptive story and show the building of tension and climax.
Inside a mysterious hut in the forest, a bird flew through the dark damp trees, and ended up upon a house, which was right beside the lake. The bird chirped, as it listened to a cloaked man going through a story. The man reads his story out, in a soft tone, and gleams as animals from the forest gather to listen.

"Once upon a time, there was a girl, which lived just beside a dark, misty forest. The little girl always wears a red coat, with a riding hood, so all the villagers called her 'Little Red Riding hood'. Little red riding hood never really had a father, so she lived with her mother. Her mother was a gatherer, and was forced to venture through in the forest every day to get food. Everyday, little red riding hood's mother was forced to venture into the forest, deeper and deeper. Little red riding hood's mother soon had to live in the forest. Little red riding hood was soon forced to stay with her uncle, who was a very harsh man.

A brass bracelet was put upon her, bounding her tightly. 'Only if you break lose the bracelet, may you visit your mother' Little red riding hood's uncle said.

Little red riding hood, was vengeful towards her uncle, and swore to herself, that she would destroy the bracelet, at all costs.

Little red riding hood, broke the bracelet, but she sacrificed her hands in order to break lose the bracelet. Little red riding hood had demanded to visit her mother, but her uncle has a few last words to say. 'never -'

'Never talk to strangers' Little red riding hood replied promptly

Little red riding hood left as swift as a swallow, and ventured towards the woods to see her long missed mother, but she did not know what danger lies ahead of her. Her uncle sighed and told himself 'Never ever choose he needle over the pin'

Meanwhile the hunter, a brave knight, in a beautiful crescent blue musketeer clothing, was on duty in the inner areas of the forest, in patrol duty to protect innocent citizens from dangers of wolves and other sly creatures.

    Typically fairy tales are short stories that feature folkloric fantasies that contain explicit moral lessons and unusually happy happy, “fairy tale” endings. Anne Sexton’s poems in Transformations, however challenges the ideology that exist within the classic tales, and adds a pinch of cynicism to them. In doing so, she reinvent these tales, replacing their unvaried traditional message with a fresh more inclusive message. Sexton’s “Red Riding Hood” is one of the many poetic retelling that she makes. In the poem she conveys deceit and defines what a person who deceives is and what they do to innocent gullible people.…

    The Grimm Brothers describe Little Red Cap forcing the wolf “down the roof” with the smell of sausage, and consequentially drowning in the trough (Tatar 16). “Little Dread Riding Hood” portrays that heroic scene by designing a presumably older little red riding hood riding a wolf as though it was a horse. This domestication, or possibly dead body, of the wolf into a play toy demonstrations how little red riding hood matures, and is able to defend herself against the wolf rather than relying on someone else, the huntsman, to save…

    The imagery in “Cousin Kate” conveys how the love between the lord and the poor maiden was only temporary. “He wore me like a golden knot, He changed me like a glove”. The clothing imagery illustrates that the women meant hardly anything to the man. She was just disposable, like an inanimate object. “A golden knot” portrays how the maiden was trapped in the relationship with the lord but it also refers to the temporary nature of their relationship. Knots can be easily untied.…

    Fairy tales are part of every Western child 's upbringing, and have been for decades. The method of telling and the stories them selves may have changed from the purely oral tradition to that of the written word with the introduction of the printing press and more importantly the Chap Book in the eighteenth century (Montgomery, 2009 p. 13). But the basic core of the tales remain hundreds of years on to instruct and delight children to this day. These days children are surrounded by fairy tales in the form of the books read to them at home or nursery/school, television and film adaptations, cartoons and even advertisements, as well as Christmas pantomimes. Each version they see will have differences, some more subtle than others, but the basic story will be the same.…

    As the story of Little Red Riding Hood begins, Carter states that although there are wolves within the forest, the young girl believes that “the wild beasts cannot harm her.” This supports feminist ideas in two ways. It creates a sense that she is not fearful of the wolves. As Carter refers to the wolves as wild beasts, it also creates a negative image for men because they are symbolized as wolves. The girl, however, is portrayed as an innocent and positive figure. Together, these make the girl seem equal, if not dominant over men.…

    The stories "Little Red Riding Hood," by Charles Perrault, and "Little Red Cap," by the Brothers Grimm, are similar and different. Moreover, both stories differ from the American version. The stories have a similar moral at the end, each with a slight twist. This story, in each of its translations, is representative of a girl 's loss of innocence, her move from childhood or adolescence into adulthood. The way women are treated within each story is different. Little Red in the French version was eaten; whereas in the German version, she is rescued by the woodsman, and this further emphasizes the cultural differences.…

    Literature allows us, as readers, to relate to stories in different ways while portraying a universal theme. As far as children’s stories go, the literal text will capture a child’s imaginations while an adult may push past that point and unravel a more critical message. By cunningly adapting hidden motives into the story, it allows the reader to open the door to more possibilities. When applied to Andrew Lang’s translation of Little Red Riding Hood, we are shown the sexual insinuations, and just how dangerous it is for children to be left alone.…

    Many short stories have been written throughout time. Many are just for entertainment, but many of them are for teaching a lesson. Little Red Riding Hood was written partly to teach a lesson. In France, a girl that loses her virginity is said to have “seen a wolf.” That is what this story is based on. Little Red Riding Hood is about a little girl that runs in to a wolf in the forest as she is on her way to her grandmother’s house. Her grandmother was ill and her mother baked some food to make her feel better, in which Little Red Riding Hood was taking to her grandmother. When she met the wolf, the wolf was thinking he did not want to attack the girl because there were workers in the area and he did not want there to be any witnesses. Therefore, the wolf gained the trust of the little girl in just a short time so he can learn where the grandmother lived. The little girl, being naïve, gave the location of her grandmother’s house to the wolf. The end result was the death of the grandmother and the little girl because the wolf ate both of them.…

    Mallet states that little red riding hood shares similar trait with her grandma and mother that they are women without men and show they haven’t conduct sexual relationship for a long time. The kinship between them reveals psychoanalytic criticism that one’s action is resulting from another one’s unconscious desire. The mother is the daughter of the grandma, and little red riding hood is the daughter of the mother where each of them carries expectations from their mothers. From the text, it mentions "Indirectly, Red Riding Hood's mother satisfies some of her sexual needs in the character of the grandmother. But, in addition, the mother seeks vicarious fulfillment through her daughter, with whom she identifies herself" (Mallet 9). The father of little red riding hood never appears in Perrault's version of the story which implies to the loneliness from the mother. The wolf eats the grandma who shows her satisfaction of sex from man and fulfillment of her daughter's sexual need from the absence of a husband. The grandma and the mother are each other’s second identities that they share feelings, and one of them accomplishes action can fill up another’s needs. Similarly, little red riding hood shares the bond with her mother, and she carries her mother's expectation of attracting the wolf. According to the text, it mentions "...the one expressed in words, to "walk decently" and stay out of trouble, and the underlying, unspoken message, to go out and seduce the wolf of her mother's vicarious pleasure" (Mallet 9-11). The author suggests little red riding hood's conflict with self and her mother is her another side of self that wants her to experience the sex. Little red riding hood's experience in sex is same as her mother having sex with the wolf in the little girl's body. The expression of the superego,…
