Appropriation English Speech
Good morning/ afternoon, today I’m going to talk to you about the story little red riding hood and how writing and film techniques have been used to appropriate it.
Appropriation is when an old and famous text is changed and modernised in the same way. The original text of the little red riding hood is a short story, written by the brothers grim.
The short story uses writing techniques such as descriptive and formal language, characterisation through dialogue, and description of characters.
The short story is set in the woods, with little red riding hood and her mother, her mother told her to visit her sick grandmother and on her way she met a wolf. The wolf ate her and her grandmother, until the huntsman saved them and killed the wolf.
The film Red riding hood is the appropriation of the original short story. The movie and the short story are both set in the woods and the main characters are the huntsman, little red riding hood, her grandmother and the wolf.
This appropriation of the story is very dark and includes lots of film techniques to portray the appropriation and theme of the story.
The characters dialogue is used in ways of appropriating the short story, though some dialogue from the story is similar to the dialogue they have used in the appropriated film for example “ Grandmother what big eyes you have”.
Other techniques used in the film are the use of lighting, camera angles, music, sound and effects. They are used to set the mood mis-on-scene, and story into the film.
Costumes used in the film have also been appropriated through the story, with the use of little red riding hoods, red hood. But in the film there are differences to the original story like how in the film the wolf is portrayed as one of the humans living in the village.
Also the short story is more like a fairy tale and a children’s story, and the film is more supernatural and for a mature adult audience. These are the ways little red riding hood the original short story has

    In comparing The Grimm Brother’s “Little Red Cap” and Sharon Singer’s paintings of the infamous little red riding hood story, there are numerous similarities to be found. Singer’s painting “Fast Food”, depicts a dark and uncanny scene in which naked doll lies at the foot of bloody wolf paws. The naked doll in Singer’s bleak painting represents the vulnerability of Little Red Cap during her encounters with the wolf. Little Red Cap description as a “dear little girl” who was loved by anyone who “set eyes on her” works into Little Red Cap’s childish aurora connected by Singer’s naked doll (Tatar 13). The Grimm Brothers explain Little Red Cap “had no idea what a wicked beast [the wolf] was” during their first meeting, which characterizes Little Red Cap as a helpless and harmless young girl, with no knowledge of the dangers of society, such as a child (Tatar 14). Therefore, assessing Little Red Cap defenseless and innocent nature, there is a connection portrayed through the unclothed doll that lies at the foot of the wolf. In the painting from Singer, the wolf’s bloody paws are also seen under a red cloth, which can be concluded as two things from the story. One, the red cloth is Little Red Cap’s…

    Different versions of Little Red Riding Hood have been retold throughout written history. Each retelling was written in a culture of its own, which holds its own philosophies on each of the continuing main ideas in each version. One integral philosophy is their principles of femininity. Because so much time had past from the original work to the time of the newer retelling, the newer version had to be rewritten to tell a different tale, distinguishing the principles of femininity that the two cultures contrasted. Two versions that contrast very well are Brother Grimms Little Red Cap and Tanith Lees Wolfland. They offer different positions of femininity, one representing the innocence of the earlier 19th century, the other representing the dominance of the late 20th century.…

    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.…

    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.…
