The Wolf is he a Criminal or a Victim?

In Amua Hub we have been learning about persuasive writing and how to write a piece of writing with impact. Our latest moot has been "Is the Wolf a Criminal or a Victim" in the Three Little Pigs. Below are some thoughts from a group of students.

The Three Little Pigs Are The Victims.

I completely believe the 3 pigs are the victims and I have countless reasons that will satisfy you to know the truth.

Obviously pigs will be frightened when a carnivore shows up at their doorstep. I believe the pigs were trying to defend themselves from death. Wouldn't you?

Expert vegetarians tell us pigs shouldn't be murdered and used for food. Especially for cuts of pork chops, ham steaks, crispy bacon and packed luncheon.  Would you like it if you were eaten in that many ways by carnivorous beasts like the wolf?.

Why hurt such innocent pigs? They are just living their lives who are smart and are clever carpenters knowing how to build a house and survive the harshness of life.

Remember when the wolf specifically said,

“What juicy tender meat you will make?” He definitely does not mean ‘making it by hand’. Its obvious that he wasn't trying to be nice at all!

Surely you can sympathise with me and notice how the 3 sweet juicy piggies are the victims. The wolf is a predator who is only thinking of his stomach and how delicious the 3 pigs would taste. He hunts for prey and he will do it for any price, even innocent lives!

SO BEWARE OF THE BIG BAD WOLF!!

Sweet Innocent Pigs

The wolf is the real victim? Are you mad? How on earth can anyone feel sorry for this sharp tooth, saliva dripping, evil grinning hairy murderer?

I disagree.

How could Three Little Pigs ever hope to survive when their mean old neighbour, Mr Wolf continues to blow their house’s down? I strongly believe that they have every right to be terrified with this vicious vandal at their doorstep.

These sweet little pigs are so frightened! All they want to do all day is dance and play around. They should be allowed to live how they want to. They are hard workers! They have built 3 houses in one day. Then suddenly without any warning, just a knock at the door and not a please or thank you, the wolf just feels like blowing down a house.

Surely you have heard that wolves are carnivores. The pigs could not defend themselves to this vicious wolf. This wolf will do whatever it takes to get an easy meal.

It is a fact that wolves eat pigs, it is a fact that pigs are on the food chain for any predators such as wolves. It was just luck that these three little pigs got out of this situation alive.
