Relation
between the title of this story and its content
Granny
gives her granddaughter a red hood that she went on using throughout all the
story.
In my
opinion, you can enjoy this story because it talks about the red riding
adventure and also is about her weird dream, like a kind of premonition, and gives you the feeling of
suspense about what is going to happen next.
Also, this fractured version of
the original story has a varied thematic, if compared to it, so I recommend you
to read this story ‘cause you are gonna love it.
