Response to "Path of Needles or Pins: Little Red Riding Hood"

Wow, I couldn't believe how much the story has changed over time. Now, I will never see the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" the same. I remember the story I read when I was little, was that the wolf gobbles up Little Red Riding Hood in the end of the story.
Having read the story "The Path of Needles or Pins: Little Red Riding Hood", I think I liked it most from all the other stories of Little Red Riding Hood, because it has a lot of significance to a young girl becoming a woman. for example, decisions she must make in choosing the right path in life. It also tells that she will always have her "backup" laundresses if she ever gets into a certain situation throughout her journey in life. Her future dude better be good to her if not he better watch out because her  posse "the laundresses" just might drown him too! I was doing a little reasearch and I found some more stories of Red Riding Hood with various authors and different titles. Here is the link: http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0333.html#perrault They are pretty interesting.

  1. I forgot to mention this in class today about the netflix we have on the computer. Under horror, it lists a bunch of fairy tales I wouldn't normally think of.
