¶ … Pigs
The stories of the Three Little Pigs have a single and commonly understood plot, with the moral of the fable being that hard work and persistence pay off in the end. The twist in these four stories is that each of the four versions have a new twist on the plot that radically changes one's own understanding of what the Three Little Pigs is all about.
The first story, by Gomez and written in 1999, is an exposition of what the story is in today's modern world. The pigs are always fat lazy and happy, and the wolves are always menacing, cunning, and even reckless. The story seems to portray the wolf as an imposing figure that is unconquerable by the pigs, however in the end the wit of the third pig does indeed conquer the wolf. The wolf, in a typical role of preying on the weak, is able to blow down the houses of the first two pigs, but is thwarted by the third pig's industrial nature and sturdy home. The cycle is supposed to be a full circle, with the pigs now being at the top of the food chain and in a sense, will retain the revolutionary spirit that had once been contained within the wolf, but was then passed on to the pig.

The wolf ends up being extremely aggressive in his pursuit of the third pig, and like someone who is psychotic, and begs the pig for his own demise. The third pig easily bests the wolf and puts an end to the troubled mind of the wolf.
The third story is by Fazio and Ek, and written in the year...
Finally, I loved the ending and its sardonic twist; it is Red Riding Hood who not only kills the wolf, but then kills the remaining pig and has him made into a traveling case. While the reader naturally believes that Red Riding Hood is there to help the pig, she in fact is more dangerous than the wolf she was called in to kill. As the poem says, "Ah, piglet
When the pigs take refuge in the second house, their case is similar to the one when the Natives have been constantly trying to defend their territory. In spite of their attempts, they have been pushed back and sent into reservations by the new-comers. The wolf had been blinded by his greed and did not pay any attention to the suffering that he caused along his migration toward the west. At
The roof of the house peeks above the trees, and in the bottom right foreground are two logs, perhaps representing obstacles. In the bottom left foreground, a pig with nap-sack is walking into the frame, heading down the lane. In the distance are hills, representing adventure and perhaps the unknown.
