Write a biography or profile of one character from a fairy tale.
Choose one of the following characters:
Granny, Little Red Riding Hood, or The Wolf/Werewolf from Perrault, Grimm, or Delarue’s versions of “Little Red Riding Hood”
Wolfie or Granny from Hopkinson’s “Riding the Red”
The narrator, the step-father, or Grandma from Block’s “Wolf”
Granny, Little Red Riding Hood, The Wolf, Wolf-Alice, or The Duke from Carter’s Wolf Trilogy
You will imagine that the character is a real person (or animal/beast) whose story has an impact in areas related to social justice and fairy tales. You will show how their stories raise awareness about social justice and feminist issues that we have discussed in class by focusing on one or two notable moments in the characters’ stories. To find social justice issues related to fairy tales, look over the class slides and your notes for key themes and ideas.
