How she has made Little Red essentially the antagonist as her actions in the poem seems to be rather sly and cunning as if she knows what she is doing. ]]> 2016-12-15 00:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143753652 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143753694 What I find most striking about this poem is Duffy's use of the fairytale  to illustrate the theme of sexual maturation as a process of self discovery.   But that process is represented as a violent one......  ]]> 2016-12-15 00:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143753694 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143753802 What I find most striking about this poem is how Duffy reverses the traditional roles of the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood in the tale to create an ultimately dominant female voice.  ]]> 2016-12-15 00:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143753802 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143753829 What I find most striking about this text is the young girl's  her growing disdain and resentment towards the wolf. ]]> 2016-12-15 00:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143753829 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143754165 What I find most striking about this poem is the use of imagery to illustrate a dark and dangerous environment, which eventually builds up to the climax of the story - her departure from the woods. ]]> 2016-12-15 01:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143754165 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143754487 What I find most striking about this poem is the contrast between the masculine characterization of the wolf and his vulnerability at the climax of the story. ]]> 2016-12-15 01:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/143754487 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839273 What I find most striking about this poem of ]]> 2018-01-12 02:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839273 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839284 What I find most striking about little red riding hood is notion of rebirth and transformation from a naive to a matured character by tainting her virgin white soul with violence and sex.]]> 2018-01-12 02:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839284 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839287 What I found most striking about this poem is how Duffy rewords the story of Little Red Riding Hood to create a story about a little girl's violent sexual awakening, which is presumably the poet herself. ]]> 2018-01-12 02:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839287 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839296 What I find most striking about this poem is Duffy's modernised version of the fairytale to explore the protagonist's search for a voice and 'independence as they transition from adolescence to adulthood. ]]> 2018-01-12 02:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839296 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839297 What I find most striking about this poem is Duffy's usage of 'poems' within Little Red Cap. Little Red Cap is presented as a girl who is fixated on poetry, and being the main reason she follows the wolf into his lair, wanting to experience the wolf's poetry for herself.]]> 2018-01-12 02:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839297 https://padlet.com/dstamp4/a9twckjqhzjr/wish/220839310 What I find most striking about this poem is Duffy's perspective of how quickly she progressed into the adult world.
