Reflection Of LRRH, Wolf& Werewolf


I just finished up the first analysis’s paper of LRRH and sitting here relax, but those stories still go around on my mind. Looking back the past few weeks, I have been thought about fairy tales a lot either in the classes or out of the classes as well. Those ideas always remind me lots of things like a story of one of my best friend in China. When I read the moral of the LRRH at the end of tales, “From this story one learns that children, especially young girls, Pretty, well-bred, and genteel, Are wrong to listen to just anyone, and it’s not at all strange, If a wolf ends up eating them. I say a wolf, but not all wolves, Are exactly the same. Some are perfectly charming, Not loud, brutal, or angry, but tame, pleasant, and gentle. Following young ladies, Right into their homes, into their chambers, but watch out if you have not learned that tame wolves, are the most dangerous of all.” (Classic Fairy Tale, P13). From the moral, I have seen some relations between my friend’s story and the LRRH
Mei is my best friend’s name. we did high school and one year college together in China. Mei was always one of top ten students in our school since I had known her. I admired her . However, things changed at the second semester of her college life because of her” Mr Charming”. She met a guy from the “ college dancing party”. According to her, the first time she met him, she knew that the guy was her dreamed prince although he was eight years older than her. Then, they had been dated and hang out for a while, everything seemed went on great. Nonetheless, one day, Mei suddenly came back with a crying face, and told me that that guy had already had wife and a kid. When I heard it, I do not know what to say because I was shocked by the news as well. Why I said that, because the guy acted really nice and gentle, and with a friendly smile all the time, how could I imagine he was a big liar. Since that night, Mei acted strangely. She did not want to talk to people often, she did not hang out with me , she even skipped classes four days a week. Finally, I heard that she went to clubs all the time, also she did drug. As her best friend, I could not just leave it behind; I found her and interrogated her why she did these things. At the beginning, she just kept quiet and did not want to look at me eyes in eyes. Then, I cried because I felt that she was a totally stranger for me. The girl I had hang out with was the one who always look pretty, smart like sunshine, but now she looked like a” crap”. Finally, she opened her mouth and talked to me. At that moment, her eyes bathed in tears, and spoke out everything that she tried to hide from anybody. She said that she could not stand the feeling her life without that guy and it was too painful to give up the relationship because it was her first boyfriend. After she gave him everything, the guys told her the cruel truth.
At this point, I was automatically connect the wolf and that guy together, because his actions exactly same as the wolf ‘s action in the story. He tried to friendly to LRRH, and then the wolf went ahead to her grandmother’s house. He was not only ate her poor grandmother, he was also pretended to be her grandmother and waited for LRRH’s coming. Those details just prove the saying that “there are there are wolves in the real world that are just like the wolf in the story. These wolves are just preying on young impressionable little girls in order to fulfill their sexual desires. The wolf in the story wanted the little girl in his bed, so do the wolves in society. “(Analysis of Little Red Riding Hood, N.A) From the story to my friend’s experience, I have learned that, as a girl or woman, we should learn how to protect ourselves by avoiding those wolves. However, if we unfortunately encounter the werewolf, we should do the following things in order to defend ourselves: do not take to heart everything you hear; do not spend everything you have.
