For my final project, I wanted to reinterpret the story “Red Riding Hood”. Red Riding Hood is about a girl called Little Red Riding Hood who wears a red hooded cape. The girl is trying to deliver food to her sickly grandmother. There is a wolf that asks Red where she is going and she naively tells him. The wolf tells her to pick flowers as a present for grandma, which she does and the wolf goes to grandma’s house. The wolf eats the grandma and dresses up like her. The wolf waits for red riding hood and then eats her too. In some later stories, there is a woodcutter who saves them

In my interpretation of the story, the setting of the story is in a city. I wanted the grandma to be cooking a meal for Red Riding Hood who is an African American girl who wears a hoodie. The Big Bad Wolf who lives in an alleyway is very hungry and asks Red where she is going and red tells him. The wolf knocks her out and steals her hoodie. Later on, Red wakes up and calls her dad to save the grandma with the help of her dad who is a cop.
