Red Riding Hood

  Recently, I found a video clip of Little Red Riding Hood from YouTube, this video version is most similar to the Grimm's version that we read for class, but there also are some differences.

 
  In the beginning of this video clip, the grandmother gave a red cap to a little girl, and then people started to call that little girl Red Riding Hood. In Grimm's version, it didn't mentioned where is that red cap came from. Another difference between these two versions is that , the wolf acts very silly and he is useless in the video clip; animals that smaller than himself are making fun on him, such as the squirrels were throwing things on him. The wolf in the video was also scared to the human; when a woodcutter yelled at him, he is not dare enough to say anything back to that woodcutter. In Grimm's version, the wolf is such a smart guy, and he doesn't scare to anything.

 
  The similarities between this video and Grimm's version of LRRD is not found until almost the end of the story. Almost toward the end of the video, the wolf ate LRRD and her grandmother sucessfully, so he took a nap after he ate them. Then there is a hunter walked by and he figured out that the wolf ate two people by hearing the sound he hearded that is calling from inside of wolf's stomach. The hunter cutted wolf's belly and saved two ladies. LRRD decided to put rocks into wolf's belly and she killed the wolf by drown him to death with the rocks that she putted into his stomach. All the events that happened toward the end of the video are exactly same as the end of the Grimm's version of "LRRD"; hunter saved the ladies, LRRD putted rocks into wolf's stomach, and wolf got drown to death with those rocks inside his belly.
