While humans have always told quick quips and stories to one another, memes are new, along with social media. In a digital storytelling class, we were tasked with adapting an existing fairy tale into a social media format. There were dozens of platforms I could have chosen, but I chose Twitter (now X) because Twitter posts are the foundation for many popular memes. In my particular case, I chose to adapt Little Red Riding Hood for a Twitter audience. I ran into challenges with the character limit. Despite how short Grimm's fairy tales already are, you get an even more paltry sum of 280 characters on Twitter.
