Felician Sisters

Throughout my childhood, I’ve watched many famous fairy tale movies that I still admire until this day. One of my favorite fairy tale movies tells the story of a young maiden girl named Cinderella who lived with two horrible stepsisters and one evil stepmother who found her way to her true love and happiness with one fairy godmother and one glass slipper and lived happily ever after. However, many people, rather than getting the magical ending like Cinderella, do not get the happily ever after…

Clearly defined good and evil characters, we can see the good in Cinderella and the evil characters being her step mother and step sisters. Characters often take on unusual forms such giants, witches but in the original version of Cinderella there are no Fairy godmothers and Pumpkins turning into Carriages, instead a Branch from a hazel bush granting Cinderella her wish.

I feel that the story, “The Girl Who Drank the Moon” has many of the same characteristics that are found in fairy tales. For example many fairy tales have magical elements and characters that are witches. Most fairy tales have evil and good characters, and animals that talk.

Fairy tales have been around for centuries, but underneath the sugar coated, Disney films we have come to know and love, lies a dark truth. The oral tradition of the fairy tale came long before the tradition of written stories. Tales were told or enacted dramatically, rather than written down, and handed down from generation to generation.

Once upon a time Alive at the beginning of the story. Seems like a loving father who cared for Cinderella as well his stepsisters, but simply could not confront his domineering second wife. When the father went into the town, he asked all three girls what they wanted and brought them what they wished. He is also present at the ball and suspects the mysterious beautiful maiden is his daughter. At the end of the tale he refers to Cinderella as “little stunted kitchen-wench which my late wife left…

War is generally characterized by individuals violently uprooted, international and domestic tension, unfortunate mortality, and militaristic weaponry. Although many scholars have identified war as a universal trait of human nature, others have argued that it is the result of socio-economic, religious, political, and other differences. Frequently, the marginalized voices of civilians and soldiers in war are overlooked, due to the large media attention given to the destructive battles that occur.…

there was a so called “princess” that went by the name of Cinderella. She had two sisters, Lottie and Dottie, and yes of course I am Lottie. Cinderella is NOT who you think she is. She is a rotten liar, so don’t let her fool you by saying Dottie and I are the evil stepsisters. In fact, she lies so much I am planning on catching her in one to get her in even more trouble since she’s so good at everything. My sister, mother and I don’t exactly hate Cinderella, we just don’t like the fact that…

Chat Noir’s manor stood high and mighty under the pale moonlight. Marinette looked confusingly at Alya because the manor was silent like one of those black and white films she loved to watch at the petting pantry. “So this place is the Sockdollager?” Marinette piqued with a hint of disappointment. “Don’t worry, this is just a facade for the human's eyes.” Alya replied with a hint of a twinkle in her radiant hazel eyes. Alya dragged Marinette to the front gate before she put her wand out.…
