Cinderella’s Closing At an early age I was left to fend for myself due to the tragic deaths of both my parents. I knew was not welcome by my new step family due to the amount of labor and taunting that received. I was not able to have a typical childhood like my step sisters due to the lack of affection and when I did have the chance to escape the situation I was wrongly imprisoned in my room by my step mother knowing that I was going to have a happily ever after.

Step-Families Closing Cinderella did not perform all of her chores that is realistic for a teenager/young woman of her age. We provided her with all that she needed and she still was ungrateful for all that we did. She disobeyed me when I drew the final line and said she could not go to the ball until all of her chores were finished and yet she still went. We also believe that she is a little unstable because she talks to the animals more than the people around her. Our actions were reasonable in consideration of the situation.
