Narrative
The narrative of this story is simple and meaningful. It is about a young boy who tricks people into thinking he is being hurt by a wolf and the town come running to his rescue. However the boy is fine and was seaking attention. He tricks the people several times. But one day a wolf really is there and is possible going to hurt him but when he 'cries wolf' nobody comes running as they think he is tricking them as usual.
Why this story appeals to me...
This story appeals to me as there is a great moral which is simply 'dont tell lies you never know when you might need people to believe you'. This is a great message to send out to children therfore if I were to adapt this story into a childrens short film I would re-invent the story into a modern day realistic situation to illustrate the message to young people. One idea could be a young girl who always tells her mother 'mummy my teacher keeps hurting me' and fakes bruises etc but it never turns out to be true. Eventually her teacher does hurt her but it cant be proven and her mother doesnt believe her.
