You have two options for this assignment:

Option #1: Modern-Day Tale

Go to http://www.nationalgeographic.com/grimm/redcap.html to read one of the classic stories authored by the Grimm Brothers in the nineteenth century. Identify the main idea/thesis and rewrite the fairy tale into a story that applies to today’s society, ensuring that the story idea remains the same. Just as with an essay, there must be details that support the thesis. Organize your tale into anintroduction, body, and conclusion.

Consider introducing the story in the introduction and creating a thesis statement at the end of the introduction that contains the story’s moral as well as an overview of the story’s main events.

Sample Thesis Statement: “When Cinderella disobeyed her step-mother and went to her high school prom, she was grounded and wasn’t allowed to even attend classes, which resulted in Child Protective Services removing the step-mother from the home and showing how good always prevails over evil.

After you create the thesis statement, rewrite the fable in the body paragraphs using chronological order. Be sure to sum up the story’s main points as well as the moral in the conclusion.

Option #2: What Really Happened to Little Red?

Revisit the original childhood tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" at http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0333.html#grimm. Identify the thesis and the primary supporting details. Keeping the main idea of the story, rewrite the ending, beginning with this sentence:

“Meanwhile the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked at the door.”

Consider creating an introduction that summarizes the beginning of the story and ends with the thesis statement. A thesis statement for this essay should be an overview of the fable’s moraland a brief preview of the main events in the remainder of the story that you are rewriting.

Thesis example: “Before Little Red Riding Hood leaves her house, her mother reminds her of the dangers of talking to strangers, but Red doesn’t realize that evil can sometimes disguise itself and hurt family members.

After you create the thesis, begin rewriting the fable’s new ending in the first body paragraph beginning with the suggested sentence: “Meanwhile the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked at the door.” Remember to sum up the story as well as the moral in the conclusion.

The Tale of Hector and Gretchen

When Hector and Gretchen's mother tried to abandon them, they prevailed, refusing to
become victims of her evil plot.
In the darkest corner of the poorest neighborhood in Los Angeles lived a very poor man
with his wife and two children. Food was scarce as the man was unable to find work due to the
poor economy.
One evening, his wife ranted about how there was barely enough food to eat and there
was no way the four of them could continue to survive on scraps from the local soup kitchen.
The wife insisted they bring the children in the city and leave them on a park bench and tell them
