Little riding hood.

Through out my life I was not much of a reader growing up. I always would find other things that are more important to do. When Mr. Corrigan asked us to name our favorite literature I couldn't think of any. Half way through the semester I began really appreciating literature. Literature is not all about the long and boring stuff, it can be about anything that is a story.
Today I am going to talk about one of my favorite literature stories that my mother would always read to me. That story happen to be "Little Red Riding Hood". For some reason this story stuck with me as a child. The characters in this story are little red riding hood, her grandmother, and the big bad wolf.
For those who hasn't heard this story, I will give you a brief summery of the story. Little red riding hood ask her mother if she can pay a little visit to her grandmother. On her way there the big bad wolf saw walking through the woods. The wolf found out that she was on her way to her grandmother's house. The wolf ended up beating her to her grandmother's to gobble her grandmother. The wolf dressed as the grandmother trying to trick the little girl. Little red riding hood realized it wasn't her grandmother and took off running.  A woodman made the wolf spit up the grandmother and they lived happily ever after. The author who wrote this story had a good sense of humor. When literature is funny people seem to remember it more, well at least I do.  A couple other stories that I enjoyed as a kid were little mermaid, the Tortoise and the hare, Beauty and the Beast and last but not least was Rapunzel. To think that literature was never in my life, but all along i been listening to it my whole life.

  2. Little Red Riding Hood is also one of my favorites. I especially enjoyed when I believe we read the section about theme in the lit book and how one author made it into how it was sort of a ridiculous story if you think about it and put it in his words
