Day Seventeen

The story i went back and read was Little Red Riding-Hood by Charles Perrault. the summary of this story is, the big bad wolf goes to little red riding hoods' grandma's house and eats the grandma, then little red riding hood goes to her grandma's house and the wof eats her too.

the similarities between my pastiche and little red riding hood is that, both people want something, and they keep going until they get it, the wolf is hungry so he eats grandma and little red riding hood. while petersen didn't want to be poor anymore and meets Adalhard who gives him $20,000

the differences between the two folktales is that in little red riding hood the wolf is evil, whereas in my story Petersen is not evil, he is just trying to make the world a better place. also petersen is not a killer whereas the wolf is a killer.

the messages between the two folktales are almost the same, the message i got from little re riding hood was that you can do what you want if you keep trying, and in my story the message is you can get what you want as long as you keep a positive attitude.

  2. You did a good job of comprising the two stories. And also i need to say that this Blue Beard story looks very good and it drags my attention.
