Ugly sisters

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…

For example, there is always an evil villain, or in this case the stepmothers and stepsisters. In the two stories, Cinderella and Cendrillon, both of the girls are treated poorly by their stepmothers and sisters. The stepmothers represent the evil villians/antagonist and the stepsister/sisters as the villains minions. The evil villain/antagonist, represented in Cinderella as the stepmother, helps bring out the social necessities in the story. For example, the stepmother treats Cinderella very…

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister is a novel based off Cinderella. The story departs from the original in many ways and follows the stepsisters, Iris and Ruth for a majority of the book, later introducing Clara van den Meer or Cinderella and her family. The characters and narrator are constantly bringing up beauty as a curse. The author also shows a lot of changes in the form of Clara and the household in general. Possibly the biggest difference from the classic Cinderella story and…

fall in love, all your problems will disappear. The film is irresponsible since it perpetuates female stereotypes and establishes the patriarchy as the means for women to be fulfilled. Cinderella is not given the same amount of respect as her step sisters Drizella and Anastasia by her stepmother. Cinderella is treated like a maid, and is far from having equal rights and being treated like a person. “Dont forget the garden, Then scrub the terrance, sweep the halls and the stairs, clean the…

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…

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…

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.…
