Our group compared the different retellings of the fairy tale - Little Red Riding Hood. We noticed that the characters, the plot, the conclusion, and the details differed from story to story.
 * What did you compare in your analysis? **

=What major similarities did you notice across your gathered information? = The main characters of the story were tricked by the wolf or a similar canine. All of our stories concluded with the main characters alive and no serious injuries.

The Chinese version has three children as the main characters and they survived through their own ingenuity by tricking the wolf. The original Brothers Grimm version had the Huntsman come in and help save the Little Red Riding Hood. He made the wolf spit out the grandmother. In the German version, the both the grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood were devoured. The Huntsman cut them out of the wolf's belly and then The two women use their own trickery to kill another wolf who tries to eat them. Pretty Salma, the main character in the African version, is helped by her grandfather to scare away Mr. Dog using storytelling masks.
 * What major differences did you notice across your gathered information? **

In some cultures, society does not shy away from violence or what could be seen as gruesome in other cultures. Different cultures value different character traits for their youth, and thus their morals are slightly different. In some of the versions it is important for the main characters to use their own dexterity to get out of their dangerous situations. Other ones are ok to let someone with more experience and knowledge help them solve the issue (grandfather or the huntsman).
 * What could account for the differences between the global perspectives of idea/event you analyzed? **

It was very interesting to see the different views and perspectives. My personal view of the story did not change. IT was interesting to see how the different countries changed the story to adapt to their culture.
 * Has your analysis of the various global perspectives changed your own perspective on the idea/event? **


 * What versions did you grow up with? Do you know a version from another country? ||
