While reading this I was wondering why a mother would send her child out into the woods, armed with a knife, to her sick grandmothers house. Hmm, sounds like little red riding hood but with no knife. I think it’s a bit bizarre how the grandchild acts and helps in the killing of her grandmother but I guess she did try to kill her first. I wish Carter didn’t end the story so abruptly, she seems to delve into more detail in the beginning and middle but then the story just stops with the girl living in her dead grandmothers house and having a prosperous life. You can definitely see the feminism role being played out more in this story. The girl is brave enough to protect herself from the wolf, she doesn't need a male figure to come, protect and save her; no ax man in this version.
