1. The authors name is James Thurber. He was famous for making
cartoons and he didn't refer himself but people did.

the moral of the story but James Thurber was known for his
humor and cartoons that were of a funny and dark humor.

The Little Girl and The Wolf
1. The Characters in this version of (LRRH) are (LRRH) and The Wolf.
The little girl is polite obedient and fearless. She is not afraid of
the wolf and she is also very smart knowledgeable street smart
and book smart. The wolf think that he can trick the little girl the
wolf is polite and he is not so smart.
2. There is a reference like things are obvious to see like the wolf
looked like the metro Goldwyn lion a lion is ferocious and no one
wants to be in danger and does not look like a person like Calvin
Coolidge who was known for his kindness. I also think he would
use automatic as a weapon because it was during WW2.
3. The overall message is that little girls are smarter than before
like in the other versions of (LRRH).
4. I would say what is unique about this version is that she kept her
distance from the Wolf and my personal favorite she drew out
the automatic and wasted him.

The False Grandmother
1. The characters in this version of (LRRH) are the mother who
seems to very busy and limited on supplies and demanding.
Then there is the Little Girl she seems to be prepared and she is
very kind it shows by her preparing a snack for her friends along
the road. Then there is the Jordan River that is very kind to her
but requires things to let her pass. Then there is the rake gate
that is in need of I guess a type of oiling for its shingles. Then
there is the ogress, she seems like she want to eat the Little Girl
but she thinks it will be easy to get the girl she thinks that she
has the girl trapped. It seems as if she doesn't put too much
effort into catching the Little Girl.
2. Yes there is a reference to something religious the Jordan River
as it says it lowered the water for the girl to cross. The same
happened in the bible with the prophet Elisha he commanded the
river to stop for him so he can cross. The gate on the other hand
is asking for bread with oil possibly a similitude to the last supper
and the gate can resemble like the death I suppose crossing from
earth to the afterlife where it seems kind of scary with the ogress
but then the girl escapes death and crosses the gate then the
river, again these are my thoughts Im not entirely sure.
3. The overall message I guess you would say is that if you help
others and nice to others they will help you out and be nice to
you. And not to look for riches and vanity as the ogress did.
4. What I would say that is unique about this version is that there is
a river that helps her and also a gate that helps her but she gave
them something in the beginning. And the reasons that the
ogress gave to the Little Girl of why she was so hairy.

Goldflower and the Bear

1. The characters in this version of (LRRH) are the mother who is

leaving in a hurry to tend to her sister probably and leaves the
kids alone but gives them instruction. Then there is the brother is
young dumb and possibly more scared of things than his sister.
There is the girl who is not afraid of anything and is very smart.
Then there is the bear that wants to eat everything and is very
greedy and wants it all but then only get a pear then a spear in
his mouth. The bear is not really that smart.
2. I cant seem to find a reference to something.
3. The overall message is not to be greedy and to be satisfied with
what you can get.
4. I think what is unique about this is that the setting is different
and that there is a bear instead of a wolf there is a brother
involved also that she kills the bear with a spear.

The Three Little Pigs
1. The characters in this version are obviously the three little pigs
then there is the wolf then Miss Hood. The first pig as it says is a
fool because he built his house out of straw it shows that he was
religious because before the Wolfie blew down his house he
began to pray. The second pig was not so smart either he built
his house out of twigs or it shows him as a businessman trying to
make a deal but the wolf did not accept. The next pig that built
his house of bricks is not afraid until the wolf got smart and then
he called Miss Hood. Miss Hood is not afraid and acts like dealing
with wolves is not so scary. And the wolf is just hungry and wants
to eat till hes full.
2. There are references of prayer so religion is involved and
business but how business you can be backstabbed.
3. The overall message I would say is not to make business with
people who seem violent and mean or as sweet as Miss Hood.
4. What is unique about this version is that The Three Little Pigs
were involved.
