Reading Notes: The Three Little Pigs (A)

 

Wolf and Piggy; Wikipedia

Wow, this is one of my favorite classic stories! This tale definitely took me back to my childhood. My favorite part as a kid was actually the wolf he was so mean. I wanted him to stop being so mean to the piggies. I guess this is my chance to finally have the ending be what I wanted as a little kid. I’m super excited!

I feel the majority of people are familiar with the story of the three Little Pigs. That being said, I want the familiarity to still stay, but change up the ending and possibly the three piggies! I had no idea this was such an old classic tale. I also did not know it was an English fairy tale—learned something new today! I feel this will be so much fun to rewrite because theirs history behind it, and I see myself telling my own kids in the future the same tale. I might even be able to tell them my own version!

I want to include a family in my story for my main characters. I think this will make the story a little bit more interesting and complex. I also want to include more dialogue between the characters. One thing I want to keep the same are the phrases “no, no, by the hair of my chiny chin chin” and “The I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in.” I think these are classic phrases that have to be included! I’m super excited to go back to my childhood as I write this story, and share it with you all. Wish me luck!
