Post #10 "Little Red Riding Hood" Charles Perrault

The myth that I have selected to read is "Little Red Riding Hood" by Charles Perrault. In this early version of Little Red Riding Hood there is a different ending to the story. Before The wolf finally eats the little girl at her grandmothers house but before he does she gets undressed and climbs into the bed with the wolf. I found this part in the tale to be very sexual and different. I feel as though this part in the story portrays women as just being sexual beings. It showcases the roles of women in the minds of men and society during this time. This is one of the stories that I am researching and looking into for my research paper. I've selected this story because of how different and intriguing it is, also I want to get a better understanding for myself and my readers into the sexual messages or motifs within classic tales.

Post #9 "The female individual and the empire"

This article expresses to readers the different approaches within the two tales Mulan and Kingston's Woman Warrior. While reading Kingston's woman warrior I did get the science that this was from the view of the Chinese culture, but after reading this review of the story there are many cases in which it should be used for the American culture. From reading this historicism approach I got a more historical contextual View of the story Mulan. As someone who has never really looked into the story Mulan this was very helpful in better understanding it. I also was able to see the difference within the two myths and the purpose behind writing it. The issue over the Woman Warrior being a sort of rewrite of the original story Mulan I found very interesting and that what kept me really In tune with this piece of writing.
