Adeline's Sad Childhood In Chinese Cinderella

Autumn of 1941 is where our depressing story begins. The story Chinese Cindrella is a story that tells you about the main character Adeline's sad childhood.In the novel, Chinese Cinderella by Allen Yangma is depressing. It is depressing because she is mistreated, treated like a servant, and sent away.
Mistreated, to be mistreated is the act of being unfair to others, this is exactly how Adelines childhood was. For example,¨ I meant so little to him, I was such a nobody that he didn´t even remember my name (Yen Mah 124). This is depressing because her own father doesn't even know her name. This is important because it shows that nobody cares for her, not even her own father. Another reason that Adelines childhood is sad is because she was not allowed to eat or drink for 8 hours. This is
important because normally kids eat every two hours and she couldn´t eat for a whole eight hours. ¨ You are to stay in your room without anything to eat (103). In conclusion, Niang and many others mistreat Adeline for no reason.
People who serve others e known as servants, this is exactly how Niang treated Adeline.¨ You re not to invite any of your friends home, or visit them in their homes¨ (25).
This is depressing because Adeline isn't growing up like a normal kid, this proves that she is not going to have a social life and that she is going to grow up to be a servant. This is also ad because it shows that she is never included in anything, just like a servant. Niang is constantly at the house either serving/ helping yeye or just doing nothing. For example, ¨”For a week, Niang went out with the Schillings. She always invited yeye, but never included me” (154) Overall, Biang treats Adeline like a servant in this story. In this book Adeline is constantly on a plane off to a new boarding school. “ Niang wanted me to pack my bag immediately because i was being taken away.” (157) This is depressing because it shows that Niang hates her and that she is getting sent away. This is also very sad because it shows that she is getting taken away again just because Nian doesn't like her. This proves that Niang hates her and that Adeline has gone to many places. “ Niang took me north to Tianjin from Shanghai.
(124) Adeline's childhood is very depressing. It also shows that she is treated like a servant and sent away a lot. Overall I thought that this book was a very good novel and I would recommend this to my other friends.
