Modern day Cinderella

“Can I just get the new phone? Please everyone has it.” Asked Cinderella.
“No! You don’t deserve the new phone.” Snapped her stepmother mom. “Ughhh you’re not even my real mother. I’m going to my room.” She cried.
“Well my stepsisters get everything they want.” She whispered under her breath while making her way upstairs. After she got into her room, she slammed her door behind her. She pulled out her phone and started to her friends.
The next day Cinderella had to drive her two stepsisters to school, because at the age of 17 they both still haven’t passed their drivers test. Her stepsisters make her drop hem off by the doors. Then she has to park a block away, and walk all the way back to school. She makes her way from class to class in the busy hallway, looking for the boy she likes, Charming. He’s the most popular but in school, and he’s an amazing hockey player. Every once in a while she’ll see a glance of him by his locker,

While getting pushed in the crowd she hears snippets of people talking, and today she heard something interesting. She heard that Charming was going to have a Halloween party tonight, and everyone was invited as long as they wore a costume. At that moment she already stared to think of what she was going as. Thinking in her head during science class, well Charming’s a hockey player, so a hockey player to get his attention. Maybe a nerd, or the scariest of all, my stepsisters! The voice in her head giggled at her own joke. BZZZZZ the school bell sung, and she brought her and her stepsisters home. When she got home she finally decided to go as a princess. She asked her mother if she could go to the dance she said no, but told her stepsisters that they could.

    She was born on a busy summer night on September 13th 1918 in Brookline, Massachusetts. I always had the feeling that Rosie was a little different from the rest of us. On the day of her birth the midwife arrived late, and my theory is that this action deprived her brain of oxygen. We were proven right when she failed to advance from kindergarten and was deemed to suffer from intellectual disabilities. When this happened our parents began to conceal their third child from society.…

    Once again, it is up to her fairy godmother and the prince to rescue her from a life of cruelty. Marriage is her ultimate goal, as it is seemingly her only chance at escape. The movie revolves around beauty and impressing others. Cinderella could have easily gone to the ball in her everyday clothes, but instead she knew that she needed to wear something fancy to impress the men she might meet. Additionally, the prince falls in love with her before they even speak, contributing even more to the idea that beauty is the most important. Despite the fact that she disobeys her step-mother’s orders to not go to the ball, Cinderella still manages to embody innocence and remain submissive to those around her (Baker-Sperry…

    Language has played a big role in making my life successful. As senior year was ending I had a major life changing decision. I was unsure whether to pursue my passion of baseball in California, or to hang up my cleats for the last time on a high note. Although this was not a life or death decision, It was still a decision that was still near and dear to my heart. After going to several people for help and many sleepless nights, I still felt helpless. I finally came to the conclusion after hearing "The Babe" in the movie Sandlot tell Benny Rodriguez, "Everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people never take the chance, either because they're too scared, or they don't recognize it when it spits on their shoes." that’s when I decide…

    Bruno Bettelheim, the author of “Cinderella: A story of Sibling Rivalry and Oedipal Conflicts,” believes that Cinderella is one of the best fairytales of all time because the tale has a deeper meaning than what meets the eye and it is something that everyone can relate with at some point in their life. Being a Freudian psychologist, Bettelheim believes that a person’s conscious mind takes the fairytale for face value, while the same person’s unconscious mind can view the exact same fairytale very differently.…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    For the past several years, I have been a babysitter for a little girl by the name of Magnolia. She and I have developed a clockwork schedule of our time spent together. Four o'clock we play princesses, five o'clock we eat, six o'clock we play princesses again, and by eight o'clock I am reading a story to her while she drifts away dreaming of faraway kingdoms. My favorite part is always story time; when her little hands eagerly shove her now tattered copy of Cinderella into my own. I always suggest another story, perhaps the Velveteen Rabbit, or Rainbow Fish, but to her her bedtime story is not complete without a princess, a brave knight, and a happy ending. These once upon a time’s are all that dominate…
