=Considering the Global Perspectives of //The Three Little Pigs//=

What did you compare in your analysis?
 * We are comparing the traditionally known version of //The Three Little Pigs// with other cultural versions. We looked at an Indian tale named //Lambikin//, the African-American version called //The Story of the Pigs//, and an annotated version of //The Three Little Pigs//. **

What major similarities did you notice across your gathered information? (Cite at least two of the narrative frame elements)
 * All versions use repetitive and rhythmic language. **
 * All of the tales are about outsmarting a character who is trying to eat the protagonist. **

What major differences did you notice across your gathered information? (Cite at least two of the narrative frame elements)
 * In Lambikin, there are many differences. The characters are different animals and the basic plot is quite different. **
 * In the African-American tale, there are 5 pigs. The last pig, the runt, uses the information he has heard about what the wolf has done, and he decides to not let the wolf in. Instead, he puts straw in the fireplace and burns the wolf up when the wolf climbs into the chimney. **
 * In the annotated version, the wolf tells the last pig to meet him to pick turnips, apples, etc. The pig still outsmarts the wolf by using the information the wolf gives him while staying one step ahead of the wolf. **

What could account for the differences between the global perspectives of idea/event you analyzed? (Be specific!)
 * Differences in the native animals in a country make a difference in the characters. **

Has your analysis of the various global perspectives changed your own perspective on the idea/event?
 * While there was not really anything to change our perspective on an idea, it did help us to realize just how many versions of the stories there are and to look at the reasons behind those differences. **
