On monkeys and wolves

We focused on our rewriting of the three pig story today. We decided that the monkey was a sort of puppet master, that the pigs weren’t so smart but were indeed a family. We also decide that the wolf was facing an addiction, had failed, and was being manipulated. In my tale of the wolves and pigs, the wolve calls out the monkey for his actions and leaves him to his own fate. Our class discussion was focused on character influence. If we can feel the characters drive, his reason for being in the story, then we(the audience) will attach emotions to theses characters and be hooked in the story.
