Scarlet is BA!By D.DunstockI admire Meyer’s clever way of combining Little Red Riding Hood with Cinderella and still maintaining the sci-fi-esque, dystopian theme that underlies The Lunar Chronicles.Scarlet was good… I enjoyed this installment more than Cinder. Mostly, I was drawn to Wolf. Who wouldn’t enjoy a handsome, brooding and dark, tortured male who is part canine? That sounds weird, but he reminded me a lot of Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. And, well, I guess I like that sort of complex character?Scarlet lives in France with her Grand-mere. One day, Grand-mere goes missing and Scarlet will do anything to find her, as her grandmother has been the only legitimate parental figure she has ever known. She hooks up with a shady character named Wolf, and he knows where Scarlet can find her Grand-mere; he voluntarily takes her to Paris, and then they REALLY hook up. Tis the beginning of a beautiful… tortured love affair.In the meantime, we left Cinder in a jail in New Beijing, tasked with escaping and meeting Dr. Erland in Africa. Cinder meets Captain Carswell Thorne, a pilot locked up for a petty crime, and together, they engineer a way to get out of the jail and escape the Eastern Commonwealth. Cinder still harbors feelings for Emperor Kaito, but develops a fondness for Thorne as well. Thorne reminded me of a Han Solo type character, and I really enjoyed reading his witty quips and obsession over beautiful women.Not much more can be said about Scarlet without giving away the story. If you liked Cinder, reading Scarlet is a no-brainer.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is the fantastic sequel to CinderBy KyeraThis is the fantastic sequel to Cinder, the first book in the Lunar Chronicles. Marissa Meyer does a brilliant job of introducing us to a new duo that will be featured in the book, while intricately weaving their story in with the characters that we already know and love. In case you weren’t aware Scarlet is a retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale. As this is the second book in the series, there will be plot points referenced from the first book and may spoil you. I suggest you read Cinder before you read this review.Scarlet is incredibly different from Cinder, our main character from the first book. With fiery hair and a temper to match, Scarlet is an accomplished pilot and a force to be reckoned with. When her grandmother goes missing, she will stop at nothing to get her back – even if that means teaming up with a street fighter who has never had tomatoes before… named Wolf.There is a dichotomy in the portrayal of Wolf as he is seen as violent and angry during a fight, but so innocently curious and nervous with Scarlet. She introduces him to the wonders of fresh produce and his reaction is so precious, he just reminds me of a puppy in those moments. I can’t say that I like him more than Kai, but he definitely grows on you over the course of the book.It was nice to see Kai in his role as the Emporer of the Eastern Commonwealth. In the first book, he was only just coming to terms with the drastic change in his circumstances and now he must be the leader his people need. You watch as he struggles to reconcile the needs of his people with the desires of his heart. Completely untested as a ruler, he does what he can to protect his people from Queen Levana but worries that it will not be enough. It was heartbreaking to see the turmoil and know that he will only face more difficult decisions in the future.Cinder’s world was completely turned upside down at the end of the first novel. As a result, she is on the run and teams up with Captain Carswell Thorne. His utter enamorment with himself is hilarious and plays really well off of Cinder’s more serious, yet still sarcastic personality.I really enjoyed seeing the world expand a bit more as we learned about other locations in the Earthen Union and spent time in France. We were given more of Cinder’s history and the groundwork was laid for plot points and characters in the future books. This was a great story, but I can’t say much else without spoilers – so just go read the series, you won’t regret it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Still holding out hope for this seriesBy Nina DuBoisActual Rating 3.5 starsI enjoyed this book much better than Cinder. The story picked up right where Cinder ended and flips from Cinder and Scarlet's POV. I liked this because their stories are connected and its great to see it revealed in the book as Cinder is trying to learn more about who she is and she came to be what she is. I have to say that this story is addicting. I love how each new characters own story is connects to the bigger plot. I loved that I got more Iko, she is so cute and funny. Kai has some chapters focused on his isses with Queen Lavana and how he's dealing with Cinder's escape. I just feel so sorry for him and his predicament. I also liked the addition of Thorne who is just hilarious and Wolf may have been my favorite character in this book or so far.At the same time that's its addicting, this story doesn't wow me. Its just an enjoyable book that carries hints of fairytale favorites. I gave this book 3.5 stars because I still have a hard time liking the main characters of this book. Cinder is the worse of course, but I was happy to see that she wasn't as bad in this book. I was excited that this book would be based on a new character, Scarlet, she turned out to be just as annoying and aggravating as Cinder. I cannot count how many times Scarlet went on a shouting rampage and acted like a child with a temper tantrum. I'm sorry Scarlet but shouting and threatening people to hand over your grandmother doesn't make you intimidating, it makes you look like an idiot. Its completely understandable that she's looking for her grandmother and she wants to get her back, but Scarlet had no plan and just wanted to walk into situations without thinking. She was also willing to sacrifice anything and everyone to find her. She was all she cared about. So anyways, Scarlet was irritating and just went around shouting and threatening people, and thought she didn't need protection(that protection would be from a pack of genetically engineered wolves, but okay).So ultimately I still don't see why people are so in love with these books yet. This book is a step up from Cinder, but still has the annoyingly knaive female heroines. I will say that Marissa Meyer knows how to write a good story and that is what keeps me reading these books. The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series!Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of Marissa Meyer's bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She's trying to break out of prison--even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive. Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner. An NPR Best Book of 2013 From Booklist*Starred * Cinder, the beautiful lunar cyborg mechanic, is back, this time in what initially appears to be parallel story lines with Scarlet, the granddaughter of a former military pilot turned farmer in the small town of Rieux, France. After her midnight fall down the palace steps and her imprisonment, Cinder is a media sensation, escaping the New Beijing prison with Captain Carswell Thorne, a handsome if rather clueless petty thief. Scarlet, on the other hand, is trying desperately to gain the police’s attention. Her grandmother has disappeared and is surely in danger; the officers speculate that the eccentric old woman has wandered off. Only when Scarlet meets the violent yet attractive Wolf, an alpha human with animal instincts, is she on the trail of her beloved grand-mère, and a trajectory that intersects with Cinder’s attempt to save the earth by foiling Lunar Queen Levana’s marriage to Emperor Kai.

In this thesis, I explain the theory in detail, apply it to the text, and discuss what can be gained by applying such a theory to young adult literature. Young adult literature (YAL) works with the concept of identity, and applying a Social Psychological theory of identity to YAL can provide a new vantage point from which to examine the concept of identity as portrayed in YAL. Through my application of Identity Theory to the texts, I demonstrate how we can apply this theory to young adult novels, focusing on three specific identities of the main character, Cinder. Following this analysis, I discuss potential pedagogical implications of this type of textual analysis in addition to implications for the field of YAL itself.

    Creating Little Red Riding Hood : Morality, Sexuality, and the Evolution of a Classic Tale Julia Gralczyk HON 395 Spring Quarter 2017 Thesis submitted in completion of Honors Senior Capstone requirements for the DePaul University Honors Program Thesis Director James Choi, Digital Cinema Faculty Reader Nancy Grossman, Honors 1 THESIS ABSTRACT Little Red Riding Hood is a classic tale commonly known about a young girl in a red cape and a big, bad wolf. The story’s simple plot however, has given it way to considerable changes and adaptations depending on cultural beliefs, regional dialects, and personal interpretations. For my final Honors Program assignment, I would like to create a creative thesis in the form of a short film that incorporates my personal interpretations surrounding the tale. I will be researching themes and motifs that explore Little Red as an older character struggling with the thresholds of innocence and womanhood, lust and seduction, and the relationship between the sexes. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Introduction In 1697 French writer, Charles Perrault, published the earliest known printed version of Red Riding Hood. The invention of the tale cannot be credited to Perrault however, for many ​ scholars have insisted Little Red Riding Hood has ancient origins as a spoken folklore shared by ​ ​ local peasants in Europe as early as the 10th century. Nonetheless, Perrault set the president for a story that will later be told, retold, and remade for centuries to come, with her perennial popularity accredited to her ability to adapt to the times.

  • Female Empowerment in Little Red Riding Hood
    TRACING DESIRE: FEMALE EMPOWERMENT IN LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD MICHAELA WEGMAN I identified with Little Red . I admitted to myself that I have felt hunted just like Little Red was by the wolf. —Laura Evans, “Little Red Riding Hood Bites Back” When we think of Little Red Riding Hood, we think of an innocent little girl skipping through the forest as she gathers flowers on her way to grandmother’s house. She is always followed by the Big Bad Wolf as he desires to make her his next meal. We tend to consider this a cautionary tale for children; few of us would examine it for sexual overtones, let alone think about Little Red Riding Hood as a temptress with sexual desires. But in many versions of this tale, Little Red is a feminine, empowered, and heroic character. Our precious Little Red Riding Hood has had a long journey through folklore and literature. She begins in oral traditions not with an iconic red riding hood, but as a plainly clothed little girl ready to take on the dangers of the forest. In all versions, regardless of her attire, Little Red sets out from her home and encounters the wolf. This encounter leads her to a rite of passage, a transformation from an innocent little girl to a woman. The tale warns young girls of the danger that lies out in the world, represented as the wolf. The wolf becomes a symbol of the lust of men and the danger he presents to young women. He threatens their virginity by tempting women to embrace their sexual desires.

    Copyright By Jennifer Leann Weir 2020 Abstract This thesis reviews four young adult/new adult retellings to understand how these novels shape understanding of and empathy for real world social issues. The first chapter explores the novel Girls Made of Snow and Glass and how the reshaping of the “Snow White” narrative, within the text, undermines the patriarchal narrative that pits woman against woman and, instead, tells a story of female solidarity. Chapter two considers A Court of Thornes and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury and how the fallout of “The Beauty and the Beast” narrative in book one carries into book two as a means to build empathy and understanding for those suffering with mental health issues, including those suffering with PTSD. Finally, Chapter three reviews The Lunar Chronicles and how the pandemic within these science fiction retellings foster discussion around medical injustices and the dehumanization that allows such injustice to occur.

  • Perrault's LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
    Perrault’s LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD “Little Red Riding Hood” began as an oral folk tale and continued to be told to children for centuries before being published in a French version by Charles Perrault in 1697, and then in 1812 in the German version by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Over the years, scholars have piled an entire cosmos of meanings on this small girl’s shoulders. Some call her tale a seasonal myth, an allegory of the sun swallowed by night, or the personification of Good triumphing over Evil. Her basket of wine and cakes, it’s said, represents Christian Commu- nion; her red cape stands for menstrual blood. Some see the tale in Freudi- an terms as the Ego overcome by the Id; others see it as symbolic of the relationship between Man and Woman. And inevitably the tale has been a vehicle for imparting sexual ethics in keeping with the social fabric of the times. Tellers have consciously and subconsciously manipulated the plot to portray a seduction by a temptress, the rape of a virgin or the passage of a young girl into womanhood.1 It is hard to believe that the anonymous creator of the tale would have had the slightest notion of what Freudians, Jungians, anthropologists, deconstruc- tionists, and others have read into it. The story is worth examining because it reveals the genius of the original storyteller. It is noteworthy that Catherine Orenstein assumes that Perrault’s version “must be a truncated, fragmentary version of the original oral tale.”2 The same applies to the version by the brothers Grimm because it was derived from Perrault.3 Much has been made of the fact that the little girl wears a red riding hood.
