Gloria Mayweather was off daydreaming again. Ever since her parents had died from the horrible dragon attack she had been on her own. She craves the company of another person deeply.
There are a few things you should know about Gloria. First of all, we all know she’s an orphan. The 19 year old Princess wasn’t like most princesses you see. She wasn’t beautiful or nice or anything like that. She was tall and disgustingly scrawny. She was as pale as a ghost and had freckles and warts all over her body. Her eyes were sunken in and she had purplish bruise like circles under them. The princess has wild black hair that was matted to her head. She had dull green eyes and scaly red lips. It was strange because her parents were both such beautiful

Ever since the queen and king died it seemed everything died with them. The valley was bare and all the plants had shriveled up and turned grey. No animals or people were in sight. The people of Brittletwig were starving and lonely creatures. They missed their king and queen. When the king and queen were alive the valley thrived. Flowers blossomed everywhere and the trees were full of fruit. The people were happy and animals scurried about. The people also missed the princess. They wanted a leader and someone to help them. They hadn’t seen her since she was a child. She used to be a joyful little soul. Over time she became afraid of the people. The kids would make fun of her appearance and gawk at her whenever she was around. She locked herself inside the castle for years terrified of going outside. After the princesses parents died she grew even more bitter. She wanted to help her people and knew it was her responsibility but she was too afraid to go outside the castle walls.
“If only I was a pretty princess,” she whispered gently. Gloria gulped. She glanced at her reflection through the glass window. “I would do anything..” she thought. Tomorrow was Gloria’s birthday but instead of being excited she dreaded it. It marked another year she had been without her parents. As the sun went down she gazed over the city. With a sigh, Gloria closed the curtains and slowly got in bed. A single tear ran down her cheek as she slipped under the
It was during this conversation that Edna was called to Adele’s side during the painful and dangerous childbirth of her fourth child. She asks Robert to wait for her return and leaves him alone in her home. Adele senses that Edna is changing even more and asks her to please think of her children before she completely rejects the patriarchal lifestyle that was expected of them. Edna, after seeing Adele, begins to feel guilty and thinks maybe she has acted too selfishly. She returns home and finds a note from Robert saying good-bye. Understanding that Robert wasn’t capable of breaking free of the constraints and expectations of him even if he did love and want to be with her coupled with Adele’s advice wakes Edna up to a reality that devastates her. Feeling that she is alone and unable to belong in the world she returns to Grand Isle, the location where she achieved her new sense of freedom. Her final escape is swimming out to sea thinking of all those who never understood her but knowing that she could never give herself to them in the way that they all expected and needed (The Awakening and Other Short Stories 1-240).
Gloria is a happy girl who uses manipulation to get what she wants. While Gloria and Robbie are outside playing, Gloria tells Robbie that she will only tell him his favorite story, Cinderella, if he
A warm breeze passes through the house as Neva tries to air the various rooms out. Birds chirp outside of the windows and leaves rustle beneath them, but she doesn't stop cleaning to enjoy the beautiful day. Her mother walks by and jokingly chants a snippet from an ancient cartoon. "Cinderella, Cinderella," she sings. The young girl cracks a smile and giggles at the comparison. "I just want things to look and smell nice for when he gets here, that's all," she responds. "If I could get you to work this hard all the time, this place would look like a mansion," Her mom says with a coy smile. They exchange a look before chuckling and moving on in their conversation.
I met this incredible woman late in my life. She happened to come into my life once my mom married her son. She always had something interesting to say about her life. When this paper was discussed in class I knew who exactly I was going to write about. Here is the story of Teresa Torres:
Walt Disney created an entire world of fantasy in which he scattered little boys’ and little girls’ heroes and heroines. His world was built on creativity and dreams. His characters gave every child an escape from reality. His images inspired their viewers and filled minds with visions of the impossible. Disney began building his empire in 1923 with his brother Roy and a small cartoon called Alice’s Wonderland (“Disney History”).
It was 5 A.M. and my thoughts were everywhere. I kept tossing and turning, desperately trying to fall asleep, but knowing I couldn't. I finally slipped out of bed, carefully so that I wouldn't wake up Olivia, and proceeded to walk down the stairs. I sat down on the living room couch and exhaled deeply as I stared into the sunroof.
This article is written by a group of recognized experts in the hope of providing education policy makers and educators help towards achieving the goal of a “democratic and pluralistic society” (Banks, et al., 2001). The findings of the Multicultural Education Consensus Panel all seem to be geared towards guiding practitioners towards the shared goal of increased student achievement through diversity. They offer 12 essential principles which have been divided into 5 separate categories: 1) teacher learning; 2) student learning; 3) intergroup relations; 4) school governance; 5) assessment.
Sitting in the stained backseat of a worn-out taxicab, Pearl adjusted her black satin gloves trying to remove the sullen feeling that still lingered on her from the living room she left moments ago. As she opened her compacted mirror, to re-powder her face her eyes differed to the shrinking image of the house she got acquaintance with over the last couple of months. She couldn’t help but play the time she spent at Olive’s over in her mind.
It was Lilian’s big day. Dr. and Mrs. Vandertramp were thrilled that Lillian was so happy on her 9th birthday. Her smile was so bright when she went down(Desendre) the stairs that day. They were throwing her a party with all of her friends coming. The party didn’t start till 1:30 so she still had plenty of time to get ready. She wore a big pink dress with a plump pink bow on the back. She went out(Sortir) the back door to the backyard and all her friends were there. She looked on the present table and was so excited to see all the big packages. She had no idea what could be in any of them. Her parents had said that she couldn’t open them until they had some fun and ate cake. So Lilian had some fun playing games and eating the awesome
“Son, this is Cinderella. Ms. Martha brought her over, and I have decided I want her to work here with us.” She said suddenly, to get her son’s attention. When he turned around, he was pleasantly surprised to see such a young beautiful woman. He admired her glowing skin and shimmering blonde hair for a moment before he spoke.
“Just don’t!” Margot cried, erupting in another round of sobs. The class felt like felons, for they had robbed Margot of a dream; a dream that comes only once in seven years. The students were too preoccupied wallowing in guilt to take note that this was the first time Margot had raised her voice above a whisper in months, years even. Suddenly, the teacher appeared.
She did find out many answers to her questions that her parents didn’t answer. The first thing she found was a fence that stretched from one side of the woods to the other with a gate in the middle of it. At the gate stood a night guard. He seemed spooky, but he was rather friendly to the princess. Before they properly met, they encounter Old Man Cemetery who came to see why the princess was out of her castle. “Why are you out of your castle, Princess?” exclaimed Old man Cemetery. The princess just wanted to go outside; she didn’t see any harm in it. “I just wanted to leave for a change. I can make my own choices.” said the Princess nervously.
Eudora clenched her jaw tightly, but kept the arms wrapped around her daughter loose and comforting. The thick, salty air of the sea was an almost feasible weight on her body. She forced a smile n hr as she waved down to the four people that came specifically to see her and her daughter off. Her mother had a sad smile on her lips, but she stood tall and regal as she always did, Eudora pretended she didn't see the tears threatening to slip over her eyelids. On her mother's there was a pair that was almost out of place, with their two hundred dollar suit and pretty pink princess dress, a pretty pink princess dress that was designed by her. Eudora felt another wave of despair fall over her, she would miss that. Making dresses, she would miss the whole process - the hours spent designing each individual dress, the days she sent making each dress by hand stitch by stitch, the million and one pin pricks she got.

Soon after the queen’s passing, the king took a new wife. However, the new queen was selfish, for she did not want to care for a child that was not her own. And so, she sent the young princess to live a town by the harbor at the edge of the kingdom with the hope that the princess would be forgotten and never return to the castle.
