Traditional Literature "LiL Red"
Well, what can i say about traditional literature? Never thought that it could be dirty. Some folktale were unclean and unappropriate for little children. One of them was Little Red Riding Hood. When i first read the original story of little red, i was astonished on what i was reading! It turns out that some folktale literature were made for adults; more like a rated "R" story. The big bad wolf chopping up the grandma and putting her in a jar and having little red eating and drinking the blood of her own grandmother was really something! So the story of little red riding hood came a long way and was cleaned up for the children. I can imagine for the children if they were to find out about the original version, how freaked out they would be. It was mostly written or told for adult entertainment. Good thing most of the stories have changed and are appropriate for children to enjoy. I think that they should come up with childrens literature of their own and not use a dirty adult story to clean it up and re-tell the story in a clean version. How gross is that? Why pick up trash?
