    In the article “Cinderella: Not so Morally Superior,” author Elisabeth Panttaja explains what is going on behind the scenes of Cinderella and how Cinderella found her destiny. Panttaja emphasizes that Cinderella’s mother may be physically absent but intervenes to make sure that Cinderella has a happily ever after. Panttaja reasons that Cinderella’s mother is actually the one who has control over the story in the end. Cinderella’s mother will do whatever it takes to get her daughter on top of the social pyramid. Cinderella’s mother grows into a tree to watch over her daughter and then puts magic birds on her tree to protect Cinderella from harm, such as when the magic birds pluck out the eyes of the stepsisters.…

    Roadblocks: Poem Analysis

    Many writers on their venture to becoming great, are faced with roadblocks. I too feel those stresses. When sitting down to begin a story, novel, or poem we all strive to be different. But as Baldwin explains, "there is no original thought, because we all humans think and feel has been thought and felt so many times before, by so many generations." This in itself makes starting writing a very daunting task. Not to mention the sea of fellow authors you are competing with for limited shelf space. A trip to a jam packed bookstore reiterates this feeling instantaneously. Really, what sets the writer apart is the original perspective and finding out what shape to give it to really hold the readers attention. This can all be achieved through the power in…

    In ELA, we read three of the 900 Cinderella stories and one poem. I liked “Ashenputtel” because it had some cool features of the story such as the background of the story, but what was surprising is that it had blood and gore in it. “Yeh-Shen” was not my favorite, but I did think her step-mom and sister deserved punishment because of how they treated her. Apparently they didn`t know the phrase “treat others the way you want to be treated”. In the “Algonquin Cinderella” the step-sisters should have been punished for the horrible things they did to her (the Algonquin Cinderella). The poem, I didn`t care for because the step-mother was a liar. She doesn’t know how Cinderella feels so she should step into Cinderella’s shoes.…

    There are many versions to the famous fairy tale Cinderella. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s German version of Cinderella, “Aschenputtel,” is a household story of a young girl named Cinderella who eventually marries a prince. This specific version of Cinderella gave birth to the Walt Disney version of Cinderella that most Americans know today. However the stories are very different. The Grimm brothers’ version is much darker and gory then the classic American version. Small differences like this shed a different light on Cinderella and her journey to a “happy” ending.…

The author gives us descriptions of Cinderella, so that we as the audience feel Cinderella's sadness and despair.
