Today was like any other day for Little Red Riding Hood. Each day was the same for her. But, she did not know that... She woke up when the sun shined through the little window in her cottage and warmed her face and when she heard the birds singing a melodic song outside in the treetops. While yawning widely, she would stretch her arms and legs, and hop out of bed.
“What shall I do today?” she would think out loud. After a moment of pondering, a lightbulb went off in her head. “Ah ha! I shall visit Granny today! And bring her some delicious chocolate chip cookies!”
Little Red Riding Hood would then gather everything she needed to bake her incredible chocolate chip cookies that were famous around the very small village. First, the flour,
the eggs, the butter, the chocolate chips and everything else that is essential for making the baked goods. Not long after, an amazing aroma filled the cottage. The smell wafted out of the windows and everyone in the village could smell the cookies. The smell traveled even farther, all the way into the deep parts of the forest that stood next to Red Riding Hood’s cottage. It traveled all the way to the nose of the sleeping, and hungry, Big Bad Wolf. Waking up with a jolt, the Big Bad Wolf would curiously smell the air and a suspicious looking smile spread on his face. Step by step, he followed the smell all the way to the cottage of the Little Red Riding Hood. He got there just in time to see the girl closing the door and walking down the steps to the path that led to her grandma’s house, far into the woods. The wolf’s eyes narrowed in on the basket that she was holding, he could feel the grumbling in his stomach, and he took a step forward... From there, most know what happens. The girl walks to her grandmother’s house but along the way the wolf tries to take the cookies from the girl. She says no, because she knows how much her grandma loves her cookies, and continues on her way. The wolf then rushes ahead to Little Red Riding Hood’s grandma’s house and knocks the grandma unconscious, hides the old women in the closet, takes her clothes, and quickly lies in bed just in time because Red Riding Hood knocks on the door only seconds later. Mustering up the best old lady voice he can, the Big Bad Wolf tell the girls to come in. Eventually, the girl realizes that her grandma really isn’t her grandma but actually the mean wolf. She screams so loud that the lumberjack in the woods hears her, comes running in with his ax and saves the day. Little Red Riding Hood, her frightened grandmother, and the lumberjack all enjoy chocolate chip cookies and eat happily

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.
According to the Oxford Student’s Dictionary, adulthood is associated with being “grown to full size or strength, mature” (Seuss.14). Then why is it presented in underlying ways, in works that are considered to be children’s texts? The assumption is that children’s texts are supposedly “childish” which means “ unsuitable for a grown person, silly and immature” (pg.172). However, while studying Dr. Seuss’ The Cat In The Hat, Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, “The Story of Grandmother”, Charles Perrault’s “Little Red Riding Hood” and Brothers Grimm “Little Red Cap” and “Snow White”, it was evident that adulthood was both reinforced and subverted through the use of literary and narrative techniques.

Although there are numerous approaches employed in understanding literature, the psychoanalytic interpretation most significantly attempts to utilize the symbolic mysteries of a work. In exclusive contrast to the formal approach, which focuses entirely on the wording, the fascinating aspect of the psychoanalytic investigation is that it searches for a purpose beyond that which is strictly in the text. By insinuating the existence of innate and hidden motives, it allows for a broad range of abstract and creative possibilities. When applied to Perrault's, "Little Red Riding Hood," it appropriately suggests evidence toward underlying sexual motivations and tensions. Additionally, this analysis unfolds a constant interplay between forces of the human psyche.
The fairytale Little Red Riding Hood by Charles Perrault is a story that recounts the adventure of the protagonist Little Red Riding Hood as she fulfills her mother’s wishes to bring a package to her ill grandmother. Perrault’s short story conveys influential life themes on the idea of male predation on adolescent women who fall victim to male deception. Perrault successfully portrays these themes through his use of rhetorical devices such as personifying the actions of the antagonist Wolf predator as he preys on the protagonist Little Red. Perrault illuminates the central theme of upholding sexual purity and being aware of eminent threats in society in his work. Roald Dahl’s poem, Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, is an adaptation to

I chose Dr. Seuss because I grew up reading all of his children’s books, and admired his imagination.
Throughout time, mankind has forged stories and legends to explain the unknown. As years went along the stories and tall tales were passed down to each generation. Each recount of the inherited stories are always told differently, how the story was told usually depended on the person and their particular region of habitance. Thus leading to hundreds of different versions of a single story told throughout the world, written and told by different people. Not only are these stories told as pure entertainment, they serve as wise life lessons and set examples for children when they were eventually introduced to society. These stories are so prominent in human history that even to this day the same stories that were told to children centuries ago
The two stories of course are similar and of course not the same. In the Grim tale, The story centers around Little Red Cap. In Roald Dahl’s version, the story is centered around the wolf. Both stories have the wolf eat the grandma, but Grimm had the wolf ask Little Red Cap where her grandma lived whereas in Roald Dahl’s version, it is implied that he already knew where she lived and knew that Little Red Riding Hood would come for a visit. Both stories had the wolf dressed as grandma to deceive Little Red Riding Hood(Cap) but Roald Dahl goes more in depth in describing what the wolf does to pull it off right. When Little Red Riding Hood(Cap) goes in to grandma’s house, they both have that whole dialogue:
