Many different variations of stories have been released before and out of all the differences there was always one thing that stayed the same overall: the plot. In the short story, “Little Red Riding Hood” by James Marshall, Red is heading over to her sick grandma’s house and meets a wolf on the way who was planning to eat Red and Grandma. Similarly, in the Chinese short story, “Lon Po Po” by Ed Young, the three sisters, Shang, Tao, Paotze get tricked by a wolf who was pretending to be their grandma. Both stories shared similarities in plot including the characters and the main elements. Preliminarily, both stories shared similarities in plot by having most of the main plot elements. For example, during the falling action of both stories the wolf gets killed. The wolf gets killed by the hunter killing him and in “Lon Po Po” the wolf gets killed by falling of the tree, but in the end the wolf gets killed the the families are safe. In the Traditional Tale it states, “and so the brave hunter jumped in the window killed the sleeping wolf and cut him open out jumped Granny and Red Riding Hood where ever so grateful.” This means that the hunter had killed the wolf. This is very …show more content…
The main characters in both stories were the kids, grandma, and the wolf. In "Little Red Riding Hood" it states, "Red Riding Hood was delighted she loved going to granny's… suddenly a large wolf appeared.” This excerpt shows the problem that Red has to go to her Grandma past the Wolf and the characters including in the problem. Similarly, in the short story, “Lon Po Po”, it states, “...three children, Shang, Tao, and Paotze. On the day of their grandmothers birthday… But an old wolf lived nearby…” This also shows the characters which are very closely related to the characters in “Red Riding Hood.” To sum up, both stories shared similarities in plot because they shared the same main
These two stories are about the story of Rapunzel. They are both from different places and have some of their culture. One article is “ Blond Beauty “ and it is from France. The other story is “ Parsley [Petrosinella] “ and it is from Italy. “ Blond Beauty “ is more like the Rapunzel I know, it has a godmother type of person that calls for Rapunzel to let her hair down. The story “ Parsley [Petrosinella] “ is different from that it has orges and a garden, but there are things that are very alike about both of these stories as well.
The first similarity is the conflict of the story. The conflict of this story is when the cobras, Nag and Nagaina, are trying to get rid of Rikki, the mongoose, the boy, Ted, and his parents. In the book the cobras said, “When there are no people in the Bungalow,did we have any mongoose in the garden? So long as the Bungalow is empty, we
Another similarity in the setting is that both short stories take place in a war setting, the Vietnam war and the Ireland war. The characters in the two short stories have pretty equal similarities and differences. One of the big differences between the two characters is that one is a republican sniper and the other is a soldier. Another one of the differences between the two short stories is that the soldier in Ambush is scared and nervous about killing but the sniper in The Sniper is excited. “ He had been too excited to eat.”
The point of views are alike when comparing the two stories while the mood that the setting creates is different. Dr. Seuss, a children’s book author, said, “You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.” Two books that are magical are People Call Me Crazy and Good
At first glance the characters Connie from “Where are you going? Where have you been?” and Little Red Riding Hood from the classic fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” may seem to have nothing in common. However, from the start one can compare how much they actually have in common. Though these two characters are very different they are the same in many ways. Their story, from beginning to end, is similar. It is easy to see how alike and different they are with the description of Connie and Little Red Riding Hood’s lives, the relationship with their wolves, and their tragic endings.
They all have different themes, such as: be cautious or boastful, take advice and listen to your elders, and learn from your mistakes. These themes are what you should learn from the story and what it is about. Another difference would be they have different tribes and settings. In “The Coyote” the setting is South West-USA, and they ar the Pueblo Indians. In “The Buffalo and the Corn” the setting is in the Midwest-Great Plains and they are the Cheyenne Tribe. In “The First False Face” they are located the North Eastern-USA, and they are the Seneca Tribe. All of the stories have different problems. In the story of “The Coyote” the problem is that the coyote if against the fox but keeps falling for the foxes traps, in the story “The Buffalo and the Corn” the problem is that men(tribes) were facing hunger, and in the last story “The First False Face” the problem is that they were competing to see who was the most magical, by trying to move mountains. These are different problems throughout the three stories that the people/tribes faced. The last problem was that each story had different characters. In the story “The Coyote” the characters were the fox and the coyote, in the story “The Buffalo and the Corn” the characters were the Native American men and the Grandma, and in the story “The First False Face” the characters were The Spirit Medicine Man and
different time of period and different region, but yet both stories shared similar endings and
Both stories deal with a young girl who, with the help of a little magic, is able to find her prince and live happily ever after. Needless to say on of these versions is much darker than the other, but the story sends an overall good message.
Everyone’s childhood was filled with fairytales, and stories that will forever be programed into our minds even memory that continues from generation to generations. You’ll remember in school your first book were both the three little pigs and even Little Red Riding Hood. Yes, good old fairytales who knew when you was reading the most famous little red riding hood it was actually a lot history behind the tale. Just to allow a slight backstory about the tale we were taught of the story going like this little girl goes to bring her grandmother a basket of sweet on the way she encounters a wolf she tells him she on her way to her grandmother’s house from there the wolf bets the little to the grandmothers house eats the hopeless grandmother then
Altho somewhat similar the two stories are very different in many ways. The first story is called “Mystery of Heroism” by Stephen Crane and the other one is “To Build a Fire” by Jack London. Both of the books are part of the short story genre and realism stories. The author's purpose for writing the “Mystery of Heroism” is to tell a story about a brave man who went to get water for a dying man. The purpose for writing “To Build a Fire” is to tell about a man and his dog and how he tried to fight the below freezing temperatures to stay alive. Both authors use realism because they want to tell real stories about people and how they had to overcome struggles in their lifetime. These two stories have similarities but they are way more different than anything else. One of the stories is about a man who has to overcome fear to get water for a man.
These two films are not only similar on these surface levels, but also in their narrative structure and intent as well. Dorothy and Alice, both find themselves trapped in a world of their own fantasy, but with no context on how to navigate their way home. They are then lead by an array of strange characters who guide them on their journey. Dorothy meets the scarecrow, the tin man, the cowardly lion, and so on. While Alice crosses paths with the white rabbit, the cheshire cat, the mad hatter, and so on. With the assistance of their companions, both heroines maneuver their way through the challenges each fantasy presents. Perhaps the biggest similarity these films share narratively, is the underlying emphasis on empathy and perspective. Both
The first significant difference is in the plot of Roald Dahl’s poem. Taken out completely is the Wolf encounter with Little Red Riding Hood in the woods. Instead of the Wolf cunningly getting information on the whereabouts of grandmother’s house from Little Red Riding Hood, in Dahl’s poem the “Wolf began to feel / That he would like a decent meal, / He went and knocked on Grandma’s door” (Dahl Lines 1-3). The first couple of lines in Dahl’s poem don’t begin focusing on Little Red Riding Hood the way Perrault’s short story does, but instead these lines aim the attention of the poem on the Wolf by beginning with his primary actions and feelings. Along with this absence of plot and shift in focus, Roald Dahl deviates from Perrault’s short story again during Little Red Riding Hood’s encounter with the Wolf in grandmother’s house. Roald Dahl includes the beginning dialogue of questioning between Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf that was originally present in Perrault’s work. However, as this repetition of dialogue goes on, there are significant differences in Roald Dahl’s poem. Instead of carrying on the same questioning dialogue, Little Red Riding Hood says, “but Grandma, / what a lovely great big furry coat you have on” (Dahl Line 39), to then what Dahl answers, “That’s
Roses are red, violets are blue, Snow White has changed, everything’s new. This is a different beginning than the original story of Little Snow White by the Grimm Brothers and retold by the director Rupert Sanders, in the movie Snow White and the Huntsman. The original story portrays Snow White as a beautiful, but naive, young woman, leading up to her eating a poisoned apple from the evil queen. The evil queen has been jealous of Snow White after she has grown up and become more beautiful. Although in both the story and the movie, Snow White eats a poisoned apple, Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman is portrayed as more brave and courageous, even after she wakes up from the poisoned apple. In the end, both the story and the movie show that Snow White’s triumphs out rules all, no matter what is thrown at her, but the difference is in how. While there are many common motifs across the story and the movie; Gender roles have changed over time, as shown in the
This fairy tale was most likely told to children to scare them into obedience. It registered to children essentially as a warning to listen to what your parents say and not to talk to strangers. Just as Little Red Cap subjects herself and her grandmother to danger and is saved by a passing huntsman, she told herself, "As long as I live, I will never leave the path and run off into the woods by myself if mother tells me not to", promising to herself to not be as reckless in the future (Grimm). Little Red Cap also uses her past experiences to learn from her mistakes. The second time she makes a dangerous journey to her grandmother's house, she encounters a second wolf with similar motives at the first. This time, however, Little Red Cap makes a beeline straight to her grandmother’s and makes sure she to not stray from the path once. When Little Red Cap reaches her grandmother’s, she exclaims, "If we hadn't been on a public road, he would have eaten me up"(Grimm). These lessons connect with children, cautioning that the world outside their individual spaces is a dangerous place and should not be taken lightly. Even to this day, this story is told to relate to children and stresses a point to not disobey your parents and stray far from
The common elements in the two stories are the wolf, Little Red (Riding Hood/Cap), her grandmother, and her mother. The beginnings of the stories are also similar: Little Red?s mother sends her to grandmother?s house because the grandmother is ill. Both stories mention that Little Red is personable, cute, and sweet. This is something that, on initial inspection, seems irrelevant but holds a deeper meaning for the symbolism behind the story. In both stories, the wolf, wandering through the woods, comes on Little Red and asks where she is going. When Little Red responds that she is going to visit her sick grandmother, the wolf distracts her with the suggestion that she should pick some flowers so that he can get to her grandmother?s house first. The wolf arrives at Little Red?s grandmother?s house before Little Red and disguises his voice in order to be let in. When he is let into the house, he promptly devours the grandmother and disguises himself in her clothes in order to eat Little Red as well. At this point, the two narratives diverge.
