year that I met my step brother’s friend, Robert. We sometimes went to his neighborhood to play basketball or walk around, but the last trip we took to his house was the most memorable trips I ever took in my life. My step brother Dontae, my step sister Tiana, my little brother Hakeem, our friend Jj, and I, all went to Robert’s house to play basketball one day. Everyone except Dontae went ahead to the court; he said he would catch up with us later. When we arrived, we waited ten minutes for…

mate. Both movies of the Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Cinderella and A Cinderella Story depict different versions of the story of Cinderella but they both share the same concepts and themes: mistreatment of a young girl by her step mother and step sisters, the importance of father figures in a young girl’s life and the hope of finding true love and living happily ever after. Both of these movies would be beneficial to use in the classroom. Teachers can use both movies in their classroom to…

on the shoe and it does not fit them. Then Cinderella tries it on after being locked in her room by her stepmother because she doesn't want her to try it on and the slipper fits her. The Grimm's version is quite different. In this story when one sister tries it on and the slipper did not fit the mother handed her a knife and told her to cut off her toe so it would fit. So she did and once the price saw the blood tracks he took her back cause he knew it did not fit her. As the second one tries…

“Chucha shakes me awake. Sunlight is streaming in through the jalousie windows. Before I can ask her what’s the matter, gangster men in their dark glasses storm into the room, thrusting their guns here and there in the corners of the closet and under my bed, in search of something they can not find. Chucha and I clutch each other and watch the men pulling open drawers, throwing my clothes into the floor. Soon another bunch of men come into the room, pushing Mami in her nightgown before them.…

Every day after her death I would visit her grave and pray that I would turn out to be the woman she hoped for me to be. In time, my father remarried to a nasty woman with two unbearable daughters that found joy in pestering me. Although my new step sisters were indeed very pretty, they had evil souls. My step mother did nothing to stop them, instead egged them on and even replaced all of my beautiful clothes with raggedy servant clothes and uncomfortable shoes made of wood. I was made into a…

experience, I worked to promote the learning and development of young students at the Felician College Child Care Center located on Felician University’s Lodi Campus. The Felician College Child Care Center, founded in 1987, consists of Felician Sisters and lay teachers who uphold many of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. Their philosophy is that each child ought to be treated as a unique individual because each one of us is a distinct…

Mother Teresa, the epitome of Catholic Charity and a beacon of hope to all of the suffering across the world. Since her teenage years, she was interested in charity work. When she was a teenager she went to Ireland to become part of a religious convent and start her journey as a nun [World Biography n.d.]. Her duteous suffering for Catholicism conveniently masks her greater disregard of the people that entrusted her with their lives. Mother Teresa garnered the blessing of the Church for her…

How does a traditional fairytale typically end? Yes, with happily-ever-after. In the original version of Cinderella, we are met with a young girl who is complacent to her life, and only breaks free from it and finds her happiness when a prince appears. Then the story ends, Cinderella and her prince are forever seen frozen in their happily ever after. Anne Sexton’s poem Cinderella presents us with the question of why society views Cinderella as the ultimate fairytale of happily ever after.…
