Comparing The Ash Girl And Cinderella

The Disney version of the story, Cinderella, illustrates a different moral than that of the original story. This story believes an ideal child should do what they are told and follow directions and in the end they will reap the rewards. In this story, Cinderella’s mother dies and her father remarries to a woman who has two daughters. While the daughters are pampered, Cinderella must work to keep the house from falling into disrepair. She befriends the animals and they help her to get ready to go to the ball by finishing her chores and making her a dress. When the evil stepsisters discover the dress they become furious because the mice used trimming from their clothing when making the dress. In revenge, the stepsisters rip the dress, leaving Cinderella out of options and out of hope. Just as Cinderella is about to give up, her fairy godmother appears and with a wave of magic creates a dress and turns a pumpkin and the mice into a horse and carriage. The only problem is that everything will turn back to what it was beforehand at midnight. Cinderella and the Prince fall in love at the ball but she must quickly leave because the

Cinderella, by the Brothers Grimm, described the life of a maiden named Cinderella. Born to a loving family, Cinderella’s life had drastically changed when her ailing mother had perished from her disease. After the death of Cinderella’s mother, her father had married another woman, who had two daughters. Unfortunately, Cinderella’s step-mother and step-sisters were cruel to Cinderella, forcing her to wear rags and perform chores. Instead of voicing the abuse, Cinderella submissively endured the appalling treatment and had her value reduced to a servant. As years progressed, the king organized an extravagant ball for three days, designed to attract the prince to the maidens in the ball. Even though Cinderella desperately wanted to attend the ball, because of the cruelty of her step-sisters, Cinderella remained meek and was warned she would be severely punished if she didn’t sort the lentils. Rather than performing the task and arguing for her freedom, Cinderella wept and was helped by the pigeons. As the ball continued, the step-sisters were discontent with the completion of their tasks, so they resumed to mistreat Cinderella by requesting her to complete further preposterous tasks. However, the pigeons would resume assisting Cinderella, even advising her to shake the tree on her mother’s grave for the appropriate attire to attend the ball. Thanks to the pigeons and the tree, Cinderella attended the ball and established herself as the candidate of the prince’s affection,

Cinderella and Donkeyskin by Charles Perrault both have the same overarching theme of an abused girl who has been forced to grow up without a mother, who ultimately through the help of a magical entity becomes married to a prince. However, the roles of their prospective female protagonists and the characteristics they portray are very different. Both fairy tales focus on the idea of good overcoming evil, as both Cinderella and Donkeyskin are forced to comply with the orders of a higher authority figure, a stepmother, and an incestuous father respectively, but they choose to rise above this oppression to find happiness. However, the way in which Cinderella and Donkeyskin play a part in bringing about their ultimate happiness is drastically

Cinderella was treated as a lowly servant and made to carry water, lite fires, cook and wash, and called “kitchen wench”. Cinderella’s father had brought her back a branch from a hazel bush, which she carried to her mother’s grave and planted. It grew and became a tree. As it was, the King was having a festival and all the young and beautiful girls were invited, that his son might find a bride. Cinderella’s step mother told her was unable to attend. Cinderella ran to her mother’s grave where she cried. There was a bird in this tree that provided magic any time “Cinderella expressed a wish, the bird threw down to her what she had wished for”. As she was crying she said “Shiver and quiver, my little tree, silver and gold throw down over me”. Then the bird threw down a beautiful dress, and golden slippers. When Cinderella goes to the festival the prince took her by the hand and would not let anyone else dance with her. When it was late Cinderella wanted to go home. As she hurried out, she left one of her slippers. When the prince found her, he married

Just as everyone leaves the house for the ball, the servants rush to help Danielle out of the locked room. "Cinderella'; is similar where the mice work frantically to help Cinderella. The mice help make the dress for her so she has something to wear to the ball. In "Ever After';, Danielle has her real mother's wedding dress and shoes that she planned on wearing to the ball.

The story places emphasis on how Cinderella refuses to go to the ball when her evil stepsisters remark on how she can not go to the ball because she is not dressed for it. Cinderella meekly

Eventually, it was the two sisters turn to try on the slipper. Both had small feet, but not small enough to fit into the slipper, so they each cut off a piece of their foot in hopes of fitting into the slipper. They almost succeeded too, but the birds from Cinderella’s mother’s grave would tell the messenger the truth, and each sister was sent back home. When messenger returned to the house the prince went with him and he asked Cinderella's father if he had another daughter, Cinderella was called for, and she tried on the slipper which fit her foot perfectly. When the wedding day came the doves that had help Cinderella picked out the stepsisters eyes and blinded them as punishment for their wickedness (J. Grimm and W. Grimm 85-93).

One of the wonderful things about the book of Acts is the way that it displays the gospel in action. In this book, one can read about many different individuals that were convicted by the gospel, such as the 3,000 on Pentecost (Acts 2:41), the 5,000 in Acts 4:4, Simon the ex-sorcerer (Acts 8:9-13), the Ethiopian man (Acts 8:26-39), Saul (Acts 9:1-19), Cornelius and his household (Acts 10:44-48), and many, many others! However, the book of Acts also recounts individuals who made the unfortunate and dreadful mistake of rejecting the gospel. Consider the account of Felix, a Roman governor. After Paul made his defense before Felix while on trial (Acts 24:10-21), Felix called for Paul to come to him and further explain Christianity (Acts 24:24).

The two stories of “Cinderella” are “Tam and Cam”; and “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted by Alexander Chodzko. These stories have similar ways in portraying the hard working Cinderella including her suffering, but they are different in Cinderella’s motive of rescue one tale use violence if necessary; the other just more of a genuine resourceful approach. This means this character isn’t relying on a prince charming to be her rescue, so this makes the concept different from the other because “Tam and Cam” Cinderella lives forever happy with her lover, while “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted lives by herself and then a farmer she likes shows up. These tales went for a more sophisticated setting, each displaying the peasant overcoming the struggle; in which she is set free from all of her hurting. Throughout each story Cinderella is taking and caring she always seemed to get the short end of the stick. But, when the odds back fired on the step-sisters and step-mother the karma was naturally set upon to benefit Cinderella in her favor “Tam and Cam” or set in motion by her as payback to get even with her rival characters of a family in “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted lives.

I chose Cendrillon or the Little Glass Slippers by Charles Perrault as my fairy tale. I grew up reading the Disney story book, inspired by Perrault’s version. I can still imagine the animated faces even though it’s been years since I’ve read that book. My tale is a modern adaptation of Cendrillon, where the character is not weak-willed or naive. The main focus is on justice and on her relationship with her step-siblings and her Prince which is much more than superficial attraction.
