Little Red Riding Hood Comparison

Improved Essays
I can say that opposed to other versions of “Little Red Riding Hood” I have come to enjoy your version of “Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf most of all. However, I would like to know why did you decide to go straight to the part where the wolf eats the grandmother? I feel that we need to know more of about “LRRH” and how she becomes an epitome of Lara Croft. In the original version “LRRH” is perceived as a naïve young girl who takes baked goods to her sick grandmother and is eaten up by the wolf because she did not heed her mother’s advice. Yet, your version doesn’t mention the reason behind her drastic change, what prompted her transformation? Did you feel that it would be to detailed or where you trying to appeal to your audience and the time period or it was about time “LRRH” defended herself from the wolf? How about grandmother why didn’t she ask who was at the door, I mean when someone knocks at your door don’t you ask “who is it” or do you just let them in I know I would ask first and then decide what to do grandmothers vulnerability is apparent though you didn’t go much into detail regarding her health, one must assume that she is frail though I have seen grandmothers give a good punch in the face if confronted.

I understood it from a much different perspective than previous versions I have read this version tailors more toward today’s generation of women. Vulnerability comes in many shapes and forms it can be physical or emotional and predators tend to know who those women are it’s like a GPS. I have learned that women can be proper and polite but also strong and courageous our mothers taught us to love and honor but be strong and confident. Women are no longer considered less than men, we have fought voraciously our way from frail submissive individuals to perhaps the President of the United

    “The Story of the Grandmother” is a fascinating fairy tale that many people are not exposed to while growing up. This tale predates, and is likely the basis of, Perrault’s “Little Red Riding Hood”. There are multitudes of versions of “Little Red Riding Hood”, each with slight variations. “The Story of the Grandmother” is unique in the fact that it is the possibly the oldest written version, allowing the reader a glimpse at this famous tale’s origin. Fairy tales originally were used as a means to pass the time for adults doing tedious manual labor all day long.…

    We are really constructing a woman’s role, which brings gender inequality. Let me further explain this institualization. This constructed role given by society that a women should be pure, innocent, and nurturing can all be constructed when she does get assaulted. Then this woman, just like Allison in the text, can be called cruel names or even forced out the community. You don’t see this in this text hapening to the men.…

    It disappoints me because women are just trying to have a better job to sustain their families and they can’t even do that without being harassed. This text disappoints me due to the fact that women sometimes go through so much while trying to get a better job to have a better living. Not only that but as well as the authorities since they don’t do anything about it because they tend to believe what the abuser says instead of the victim. This relates to most of the material and reading we have read in class so far because this clearly…

    During the French Revolution, the people who overthrew the French government crafted a document that was entitled “The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen.” Shortly after this document was written, Olympe de Gouges wrote a document entitled “The Declaration of the Rights of women.” She wrote this because she thought that the revolution wasn't revolutionary until women received rights of their own. Both of these declarations were written with a similar purpose and that is to give all people equal and fair rights as citizens. One of the main goals of the Declaration of the Rights of Man were to eliminate social inequalities and to emphasize that people are born free and should all have equal rights.…

    The book I just read is called Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. The biggest things this book talks about are the desires of a woman's heart, every little girls question, romancing God, romancing your husband, Gods way, and last but not least being a warrior princess. Chapter one starts off talking about how we, as women, feel guilt and shame by not meeting the expectations 'laid on us by our families, churches, and our culture' (chapter 1 pg. 6) and not to mention the famous proverbs 31 woman. It talks about how we feel 'unseen, unsought, and uncertain' (chapter 1 pg. 6). This is the reason woman have a feeling of failure, and that cause's us to wonder if we are 'too much' or 'not enough'.…

    In “The Destructive Male” by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, rhetoric is employed to persuade the reader or listeners to acknowledge and grant women equal rights. Stanton also creates a tone of zealous outrage and accusation with her use of literary devices such as alliteration and personification. Shortly after the United States Civil War, Elizabeth Cady Stanton delivered her speech at the Women’s Suffrage Convention in 1868 (Bjornlund). Stanton had to appeal to the crowd of men and women, conservatives and liberals, and even government officials by showing how women benefit the world and deserve to have the same opportunities as men to make a difference and the freedom to vote.…

    Gender Roles In Candide

    Voltaire’s Candide: Women’s Role in Society Women during the 1700s, the time period during which the novel is set, understood they had very little power; and it was only through men that they could exert any influence. Women at this time were seen as mere objects that acted as conciliation prizes for the gain of power and their sole use was for reproduction. Maintaining the duty of tiding the home and looking after the children, no outlet for an education or a chance to make a voice for themselves. Men acted as the leading voice in society, making all substantial decisions for women. The hierarchy of genders was ever so present and was based on the physical differences between men and women.…

    The reader, especially if the reader identifies as a girl/woman and has experienced sexism before consequently feels empathy towards her because she is in a possession of vulnerability, where she has to pretend to be a perfect wife while planning her escape. Additionally, the determination in this woman may empower readers to do what they please, even if it’s discouraged by society. The reason why females will identify with this more is because they are more likely to have experienced sexism whether it be unequal pay, expectations or comments such as the one in the poem. Male readers may also be sensitive towards women’s issues but due to lack of experience the impact on them is likely to be…

    In the past few centuries, feminists have taken it upon themselves to combat the misogyny and sexism women face by speaking up through any form, including poetry. They have touched on subjects such as women embracing their sexuality, the acknowledgement of the intersectionality of cultural identities, and the objectification and commodification of women. Poetry can be used to make political statements, so it should not be surprising that women would use the art form to voice their opposition to gender inequality. Rita Dove is a self-proclaimed feminist poet that writes about the misogyny and/or misogynoir women experience. In Ekaterini Georgoudaki 's Rita Dove: Crossing Boundaries, Georgoudaki describes Rita Dove perfectly by writing: "She…

    Short stories have a way of telling multiple stories within a shorter story and it’s truly evident in the short story “Orientation” by Daniel Orozco. Edgar Allen Poe had a formula for a a great short story and this tale meets every criteria. It’s a tale of a new employee going through orientation at his job and as he’s following his boss around and receiving instructions, he also receives a few secrets. Orozco pulls the readers in with the idea that this will be a routine orientation when in fact it’s far from the usual. He begins with “Those are the offices and those are the cubicles.”…

    “It is time that we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals,” said Emma Waston (Conway). This quote exemplifies that in our society today, men are pressured to be strong and dominant while women feel the pressure to be submissive and independent. This illustrates the gender stereotypes that are still present and proves that we have been living in a phallocentric society. Overtime, women have been treated harshly and as commodities. In addition, women have never been portrayed as a strong character, and were never given strong leads in literature as seen in the play, Refuge by Mary Vingoe and the poem “Home” by Warsan Shire.…

    My first “click” moment I had was in my first gender woman’s studies class in my freshman year when I learned about the glass ceiling. Before this class, I did not realize this ceiling existed because I grew up in a family where both my parents worked. Once I read the article and discussed the topic in class for some reason the glass ceiling idea lingered in my mind for days. In class it was described as a “barrier to progress in a profession, especially affecting women and members of minorities.” The way I see it as if I am qualified for a job the way a male is how come I have to face a barrier be a female, while a male is given the opportunity to receive the position or higher position first.…
