Cinderella

Cinderella Cinderella Here’s the story: The girl gets her prince. She leaves her family, who treated her horribly behind in her past. She lives happily ever after. Everyone has heard of Cinderella, but people are unaware that there are many different versions of this legend. One is written by the Grimm Brothers and is titled “Aschenputtel.” In this story the girl is treated as if she were a servant. Her stepfamily hates her and wants nothing to do with her unless she is doing their dirty laundry. Yet, she somehow manages to leave her family behind, and live happily ever after with her Prince. Another version of the story is the Native American tale called “The Algonquin Cinderella.” In this one the girl’s own family treats her awfully. Yet she is also lucky and, as they say, “the slipper fits.” She marries the most sought after man in her village. Although both of these stories present the same morals, they vary in specific details such as characters, settings, and the use of magic. The most opponent difference between these two stories is the characters. Even the name of the main character is different. It is not Cinderella in either story.
