This is the post you should comment on:
From reading all of the different versions of “Little Red Riding Hood,” it has made me realize a couple of different things. Especially with Thurber’s “The Little Girl and the Wolf,” this story made me recognize the gullibility and obliviousness that Little Red Riding Hood has, but I never thought to think twice about it because it is such a well renown children’s story. For instance, Thurber’s text reads, “So the little girl took an automatic out of her basket and shot the wolf dead” (17). This quote specifically, not only humoured me, but it also proved a great point: That the wolf posed as grandma, is most definitely not grandma, so it was simply useless for Little Red Riding Hood to continue to ask “grandma” about how her appearance has changed. I believe that the moral presented in this story and the realization that Little Red Riding Hood is not as bright as we might think, is greatly significant, as we should not be teaching young children to be as gullible as this well known character. How are young children supposed to know any better if most of them lead by example and from their surroundings? Most children will come in contact with this story sooner or later within their childhood, and if the morals are not as clear as Thurber made them out to be, children might start to believe that their grandma’s too, take on the appearance of a wolf when their grandma is sick.

My colleague’s approach to the different versions of the “Little Red Riding Hood” is fascinating but slightly different from mine. From my perspective, James Thurber’s “The Little Girl and the Wolf” fosters carelessness. At some point, Thurber says, “So the wolf asked her where her grandmother lived, and the little girl told him, and he disappeared into the wood” (Tatar, 1999, p. 17). It appears to me that the little girl does not care who she tells the information about her grandmother. She does not differentiate between a friend and an enemy. As such, the story does not align with the moral statement, which is “It is not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be” (Tatar, 1999, p. 17). Instead, the “Little Red Riding Hood” should teach children to be courageous in dealing with any situation and be cautious about who they interact with since not all people have goo...
