Plot Literary Response on Little Red Riding Hood
Prompt
After reading the stories in the unit, select one story to write an analysis of the plot on. Answer the following questions about that short short story or fairy tale in one paragraph:
What is the plot of the story and how clear is that plot? How does the plot influence the overall story?
Both “The Invisible String” and “Swan of the Gods” deal with the question of what connects us to other people and to the universe? Be it strings we cannot see or stars that we each look at throughout time, connections are one of the main things that drive human interactions and help us navigate the world.
Create your own work of fiction with a clear plot or sequence of events that focuses
on the invisible or visible connections that exist in the world. The story should be no
more than 500 words in length. You may organize the story into however many
paragraphs you would like, but make sure not to go over 500 words.
The subject of your story is entirely up to you, but make sure it is appropriate for
an academic setting. Your story should have a main character, a simple conflict,
and some form of a resolution.
Write your response that details the prompt above. Be sure to analyze one of the short
short stories or fairy tales. Then, create your own story.
