Goldilocks Vs Little Red Riding Hood
Growing up my mom read me a lot of stories, but the two that I loved the most were Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks. These stories were my favorite because they taught me life lessons and the characters were completely different from other story characters. I like how Goldilocks just walked into a strangers house. I like how Little Red Riding Hood is just talking to a wolf and eating the food that she is bringing for her grandma.These two stories also taught me not to talk to strangers and not to go into a stranger’s home.

Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks have a lot in common. The characters were brave. They both talked to animals and walked into the woods alone. They also have some differences too. Goldilocks was rude but Little Red Ridding Hood wasn’t. When Little Red saw the wolf in her grandmother’s house, she screamed and ran away to warn the woodsmen. Goldilocks on the other hand, thought it would be a good idea to stay at a bears home. When she saw the bears she ran away screaming and fled their house. Little Red Riding Hood’s thinking was a little better than Goldilocks.

    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.…

    My favorite book, at the moment, but one I don’t think I’ll ever forget. The Tale Of Despereaux is by far, the best book I’ve read. It’s about a little mouse named Despereaux, who is the black sheep of the family, he likes to read the books in the king's library, not eat them, like his brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, one day, he falls in love with the princess, though, that’s forbidden. Without a second thought, he tries to get the princess’s attention, and when he does, his sibling finds out. Hurriedly telling their father, he was…

    I chose the book Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder and illustrated by Garth Williams. This book was first published in 1932. I chose this book at random from my grandmother’s house over Thanksgiving. I knew that she had all of the books and my sister had used my grandmother’s collection to read them all when she was younger. I just chose the first book that I saw and I really lucked out because it looked interesting. I felt that I could not go wrong with any of the books because they are widely praised for being great reads. This was the first time that I was reading a book from the collection. I had been interested in other titles when I was younger so I never became interested in these books.…

    Fairytales. When we hear or see that calming word, we automatically think of beautiful expensive ball gowns, charming handsome Princes, pumpkins turning into carriages, and the infamous ending of true loves first kiss. When growing up, many of us had these wonderful tales read to us before bed or at school with all of our friends. Fairytales, having been around for centuries, sends all kinds of important moral messages from being a child to facing the ‘beautiful’ world of adulthood. Growing up and being placed in the adult world, we come to terms that fairytales aren’t the classic stories of Little Red Riding Hood, Briar Rose, or Cinderella that we all know and love, its much more than that. We are surrounded by Fairytales, almost as if they…

    I believe it is important to read stories like the Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Stories like these from another time can inspire many things in us. They can give us a new perspective on the past. They can be used to spark new creative ideas. They can impart a new love of old stories and books. That’s why receiving the original Grimm's Fairy Tales was a significant literacy experience for me and why I decided to give a copy to my…

    The once innocent moral tale used to teach little girls a lesson has developed into many convoluted adaptations that apply some of modern societies most problematic issues. Both the Perrault and Grimm version of Little Red Riding Hood both point out the consequences of straying of the path. While Perrault’s Little Red Riding Hood ends with the wolf having eaten the innocent little girl, Grimm’s Little Red Cap has a hero who swoops in to save her and grandma. The movie, Freeway (1996) directed by Matthew Bright, subverts qualities found in the fairytales and puts a modern twist on it. Vanessa Lutts, our new Little Red Riding Hood, strays of the path, saves herself, and is definitely not the innocent little girl that Grimm and Perrault imagined;…

    There are many versions to the famous fairy tale Cinderella. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s German version of Cinderella, “Aschenputtel,” is a household story of a young girl named Cinderella who eventually marries a prince. This specific version of Cinderella gave birth to the Walt Disney version of Cinderella that most Americans know today. However the stories are very different. The Grimm brothers’ version is much darker and gory then the classic American version. Small differences like this shed a different light on Cinderella and her journey to a “happy” ending.…
