Little Red Riding Hood

Tomoe Watanabe

I read Little Red Riding Hood. This title is Aka (red) Zukin (hood) in Japanese and it’s the England version story. The genre is children’s fiction. The story is a famous children's story. I started reading it on the 14th of June and I finished reading it on the 15th of June.

The book's time and place isn’t given. The main character is Little Red Riding Hood, a girl. I think she is eight years old. She is distinguished by a red hood.

One day Little Red Riding Hood is going to see her Granny because she’s sick in bed. Little Red Riding Hood promised her mother "not to speak to strangers in the woods." I think her mother knew about the wolf. She met the wolf on the way to her Granny's home. He asked her "Where are you going?" She broke her mothers promise and gave the wolf an answer. The wolf ran quickly to Granny’s house. He ate Granny and wore Granny’s clothes to wait for her. Then she came in and she asked four points:
1.Why are your ears so big?
2.Why are your eyes so big?
3.Why are your arms so big?
4.Why are your teeth so big?
She had just finished asking the questions when suddenly she was attacked by the wolf, but just then along came a woodcutter. At last they were saved by him. I think the book's message is "Girl don’t walk alone because girl is eaten by a bad wolf (boy)." I think the best point in this book is her good luck because if the woodcutter had not come to help her, she couldn’t have been helped.

I rate this book as good because I like this story but it is a little long-winded. The English level I rate as easy so I want to introduce it to my fellow students.
