In Chapter 14, Lowry alternates between the story of Red Riding Hood and Annemarie’s journey as she travels down the path. By doing this, she gives readers a direct window into Annemarie’s thoughts. She also shows the similarities between Red Riding Hood’s story and Annemarie’s task. Both characters must be brave to help their loved ones. Also, both characters are forced into dangerous situations where they do not fully understand what is happening. Like Red Riding Hood, Annemarie is helps her friends and family by drawing on her internal well of courage.
