The Three Little Pigs and the Wolf

Once upon a time in a fairy tale land lived a wolf. Not the “Big Bad Wolf” who follows Little Red Riding Hood and eats Grandma, no this wolf’s name was not menacing, it was Rufus. Rufus was a smart, regular wolf who didn’t follow little girls to their grandmother’s house to eat her and the old lady. He had dark grey fur, and big, intense yellow eyes, and gnarly yellowed fangs. Now when most people see a wolf they are afraid and want to get away, but Rufus was very kind-hearted well if you don’t make him mad, he became very demanding when he was mad. One day, Rufus was coming back from the woods to his cave when he noticed three sets of footprints leading up to the entrance of the cave! Rufus slowly crawled

Rufus started looking around for clues, there wasn’t anything that really stood out. The obvious thing to do was to look for the intruders by following the footprints… after lunch first. Rufus walked deeper into his cave to his kitchen, all the wooden cupboards were gone too! He turned around and was happy to see his refrigerator, his wonderful, beautiful refrigerator. He opened it and found a leftover ham and cheese sandwich and a little bit of milk. After eating his lunch, he bent down and got a scent of the furniture stealing burglars. He started to follow the footprints, they went into the woods, over rocks, under logs, up hills and through the valley. He soon found a clue of who or what these strange intruders were. There was a big pile of mud that looked like it was rolled in and splashed around. So he found his culprits… they were pigs! He thought about all the meals he could make with three plump little piggys! He kept walking and came to a clearing, in the valley below he saw a house. This house looked very odd, it was out in the middle of nowhere and looked very poorly built. Rufus creeped towards the strange straw house and knocked on the straw door. A little pig looked

    The character from the lord of the flies that I admire most is Piggy. There had been countless times where I have been pushed to the point of giving up, but every single time I have had a way to escape, whether that was putting it off, making excuses or letting someone else do it, but in Piggy’s situation he had nowhere to run from his problem but he still powered through. He is a leader, He is relentless. He is thoughtful. That is why I admire Piggy the most.…

    Survival in the wild is strenuous for all living beings, even for those adapted to nature. Wolves, even with their strong statures, their powerful senses of smell, and their sharp canines are no exception. Storms, fires, starvation, pollution, and other animals are just a few of the dangers of living in the densely packed forests that wolves tend to make their habitats. However, although humans have their own needs to take care of, kind and determined people can go the extra mile just to protect and nurture weaker animals, despite the difficulty of doing so. Some of these goodhearted people have invested in creating places of shelter for injured and sick wolves who are unable to return to the wilderness.…

    Throughout the novel The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Piggy is perceived as the most rational, intelligent, and understanding character. Although he is the one to see the correct way for the boys to organize themselves and has the most useful ideas in the group, he is also the most frequently abused and is rarely addressed. The reason for this is that apart from being described with what society pictures to be flaws such a his corpulent structure, underdeveloped vision, and his outspoken annoying personality, Piggy is disliked for being the most mature and adult-like figure of all the boys as well. First off, Piggy is presented to the readers as physically vulnerable, weak, and full of imperfections and in result, is often easily…

    Piggy’s dominant trait at the beginning of Lord of the Flies is intelligence. When “Piggy put on his glasses “it shows his brightness (Golding page 34).The fact that Piggy wears glasses shows that he is intelligent because it shows he have a great insight on things in the world. As Piggy says “nobody knows where we are “it illustrates his cleverness (Golding page 34).All of this goes to show Piggy’s intuitive because all of the other boys thought a plane would come and capture them meanwhile he knew they would be stranded. As noted in Lord of the Flies “acting like a crowd of kids” draws the reader to Piggy’s penetration. Based on this we must conclude Piggy is astute because he acts an adult while the other boys act as little kids.…

    Stories are told different ways after every generation, and that goes the same for fairy tales. Throughout time the main concept never changes, only by a slight bit. At first glance, Straparola story The Pig King would have nothing to do with the modern day adaption of Beauty and the Beast. However, the concept of the story is basically the same throughout, and these similarities lead me to believe that the, oh so famous, movie Beauty and the Beast originated from this tale. The symbolism throughout each story intertwines and creates one powerful theme about beauty.…
