Charles Perrault And The Grimm Brothers

360 Words2 Pages

Charles Perrault and the Grimm brothers both write about a young girl, dressed in red, on a journey to visit her grandmother with some special treats, but each version offers a different meaning. In the Grimm brother’s version, “Little Red Cap,” the young girl’s Mom cautions her prior to her departure to stay on the path so she will not break the bottle of wine. Her Mother did not alert her of other dangers, and as such, Little Red Cap did not recognize the wolf as the evil threat that he represented. As Little Red Cap arrived at her grandmother’s house, the door was already open, just as the young girl had opened herself to danger as she disobeyed her Mother by veering from the path. Little Red Cap questions the wolf about his ears, eyes,

  • Color Red In The Holocaust

    There are a lot of different theories about the girl in the red coat considering she is the only color featured in the film. To me, I think she represents the innocence of children throughout the holocaust. There is definitely a significance of the color red, because red conveys a lot of different emotions, like love and hate. Many of the adults in the movie become numb to their emotions because they know that there is a very slim chance that they will make it out of the holocaust alive. I think that the girl being in color represents the children’s hope that everything will turn out all right.

  • St Kucy's Home For Girls Raised By Wolves Character Analysis

    858 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the short story “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves,” author Karen Russell uses short epigraphs to provide a reference for characters’ progress throughout the 5 “stages” present in the story. The story follows a pack of wolf-girls who have been sent to St. Lucy’s, a facility dedicated to helping human children raised by wolf parents adapt to human culture. These “stages” represent the five chapters in the process of adapting, each of which begin with an excerpt, or epigraph, from The Jesuit Handbook on Lycanthropic Culture Shock. These epigraphs describe the emotions and difficulties that the wolf-girls are likely to experience and how the characters will likely act during the stage. However, in Stage 2, when the wolf-girls have started to adapt, it becomes evident that not all characters feel and act as the epigraph predicts.
