This obvious illustration of harassment gives the audience a sense of the danger that a good-looking woman could be harassed by the man's sexual desire. The text “Grandma's Story” illustrates this general idea in a very simple short text. The other text "Little Red Riding Hood" by Charles Perrault suggests almost the same massage, I would say, but the differences between the previous text are the class of target audience this text is aimed at, a higher class. In these differences in audience, the author chooses to use cleaner words and more pleasant characters to write a text. In the dialogue between the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood those "Grandma, what big arms you have!... To eat you better!" (Perrault, 34-35) are identical characteristics to the text of Little Red Riding Hood and can be compared with “Grandmother's Story”. In the previous text, the conversation was quite harsh and direct compared to this text, but in this text the conversation was not as directlysexual and was less difficult than the previous text. The use of words clearly shows the difference between the cultural preferences of lower and upper class people, but it still remains the central message
