Little Red Riding Hood

I found it very interesting that the meaning behind " little red riding hood" story is really about sexuality. I always though that the reason our parents would tell us that story was to teach us what would happen if we don't follow the rules, a way to scare us into listening to our rules that were set. It makes more sense to me now though, seeing it in that way. The meaning each character has in the story, and even though the story is told in many different ways around the world they all have the same meaning. I really enjoyed the video clip of he cartoon. It gave me a sense of when i was younger watching cartoons like those. The way they did a different twist on the story i found quite funny, how now the grandmother is the one after him. I also wasn't able to attend class last tuesday so i didnt get a chance to see Freeway but from what i have read on the blog i am upset to have missed it. It seems like it somewhat like the cartoon clip. Also reading the Red Riding Hood Teasers, it reenforces that many people have different views of the story. I really like the animated school assignment. It pretty awesome how they were able to tell the whole story without any sound and pictures only.

  1. Well the story became an "innocent" children's tale, though the sexuality embedded in its origins has always haunted it...
