Analyzing Little Red Cap

                                          Little Red Cap

The classic story of “Little Red Cap” or, “Little Red Riding Hood” as we more commonly know it as, is a well-known fairytale. There is the original version that was collected and recorded by the Brothers Grimm, and it has been modified and added onto throughout the years. For now this fairytale can be found in modern tv shows, books, and is even sometimes mentioned in songs. There is one cartoon comic book that displays this fairytale with a new twist. The book called, “Red Riding Hood, Superhero: A Graphic Novel,” that displays a new more social and feminist point of view written and illustrated by Otis Frampton. It includes Red Riding Hood gaining superpowers from her red cape. This is not the only new and inventive way that writers or illustrators have portrayed Little Red Riding Hood. For there are numerous amounts of YouTube videos that artists have created to tell the story such as this one, which was done in a way that displays no violence so it is considered "kid friendly."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfu_njq8fsY 

The reason Little Red Riding Hood generally used is due to how it is a good story that also teaches a valuable message to younger children. For it says that not only should you not talk to random strangers, but you should also make sure you listen to your parents when they give you specific instructions. Most retelling and different versions I like, however, some stretch the story too much that is isn't even the original story anymore.
