In “The Company of Wolves” the message is not to talk to strangers. This story takes place in the woods and in an old cottage. However, my new story would be told from the point of view from the grandmother. In the story, she is made out to be clueless on the enitre idea of a werewolf coming into her house to eat her, and throw her clothes into the fire. In my story, I would make her more aware of the situation, and perhaps make her fight off the wolf and throw his clothes into the fire, and hide his bones under the bed. Also, I could make the story in the present day time, so the granddaughter sends her tech-savvy grandma a text message saying that there is a scary man she is walking with towards her house, and they are racing to see which way is faster. I think there are many different ways I could change this story, and that they would all combine not only to make a new story, but also a new message.
That sounds great!
