4. A wealthy widower marries a proud and haughty woman as his second wife
A wealthy widower marries a proud and haughty woman as his second wife. She has two daughters, who are equally vain and selfish. The gentleman has a beautiful young daughter, a girl of unparalleled kindness and sweet temper. The man's daughter is forced into servitude, where she is made to work day and night doing menial chores. After the girl's chores are done for the day, she curls up near the fireplace in an effort to stay warm. She often arises covered in cinders, giving rise to the mocking nickname "Cinderella" by her stepsisters. Cinderella bears the abuse patiently and does not tell her father, who would have scolded her. One day, the Prince invites all the young ladies in the land to a royal ball, planning to choose a wife. The two stepsisters gleefully plan their wardrobes for the ball, and taunt Cinderella by telling her that maids are not invited to the ball. As the sisters depart to the ball, Cinderella cries in despair. Her Fairy Godmother magically appears and immediately begins to transform Cinderella from house servant to the young lady she was by birth, all in the effort to get Cinderella to the ball. She turns a pumpkin into a golden carriage, mice into horses, a rat into a coachman, and lizards into footmen. She then turns Cinderella's rags into a beautiful jeweled gown, complete with a delicate pair of glass slippers. The Godmother tells her to enjoy the ball, but warns her that she must return before midnight, when the spells will be broken. At the ball, the entire court is entranced by Cinderella, especially the Prince. At this first ball, Cinderella remembers to leave before midnight. Back home, Cinderella graciously thanks her Godmother. She then greets the stepsisters, who had not recognized her earlier, and talk of nothing but the beautiful girl at the ball. Another ball is held the next evening, and Cinderella again attends with her Godmother's help. The Prince has become even more infatuated, and Cinderella in turn becomes so enchanted by him she loses track of time and leaves only at the final stroke of midnight, losing one of her glass slippers on the steps of the palace in her haste. The Prince chases her, but outside the palace, the guards see only a simple country girl leave. The Prince pockets the slipper and vows to find and marry the girl to whom it belongs. Meanwhile, Cinderella keeps the other slipper, which does not disappear when the spell is broken. The Prince tries the slipper on all the women in the kingdom. When the Prince arrives at Cinderella's home, the stepsisters try in vain to win him over. Cinderella asks if she may try, but the stepsisters taunt her. Naturally, the slipper fits perfectly, and Cinderella produces the other slipper for good measure. Cinderella's stepfamily pleads for forgiveness, and Cinderella agrees. Cinderella had hoped her step-family would love her always.[17] Cinderella married the Prince as her stepsisters are married to two handsome gentlemen of the royal court.
Cindrellion

5. Cinderella The Cinderella you all know:
Written by Charles Perrault in 1697
Charles Perrault was French.
He introduced the glass slipper, pumpkin, and fairy godmother.
It was originally called Cendrillion.
Disney released its movie in 1950.

6. Cendrillion
The first theme of the story is that beauty is a treasure, but graciousness is priceless. Without it, nothing is possible; with it, one can do anything.
However, the second moral of the story mitigates the first one and reveals the criticism that Perrault is aiming at: That "without doubt it is a great advantage to have intelligence, courage, good breeding, and common sense. These, and similar talents come only from heaven, and it is good to have them. However, even these may fail to bring you success, without the blessing of a godfather or a godmother."

The two supporting paragraphs should be about the similarities and differences. Remember to focus on how culture and history can affect literature. Analyze how the theme of these two texts can remain consistent.

23. Sample Introduction
Fairy tales are stories that are passed down from generation, have a heroine, magic, and evil characters. Cinderella is a fairy tale that has been told from many cultural perspectives. “Yeh Shen” told by Ai-Ling-Loui and “Aschenputtel” adapted by the Grimm Brothers have many similarities and differences.

24. Similarities/Compare
First, both fairy tales have many similarities. Both have a consistent theme that if you stay strong and believe in yourself there will be a positive outcome in your life. Although the stories have different cultural elements, the heroine has a stepmother who hates her, a magical guardian who protects her, and a man of royalty who wants to marry her. The conclusion of both stories involves a happily ever after, where our heroine marries the man of her dreams. 24

25. Differences/Contrast
As a result of cultural differences, “Yeh Shen” and “Ashenputtel” can be contrasted. Yeh Shen takes place in China and the Chinese culture is evident from the clothing worn to the festival where Yeh Shen meets her king. Aschenputtel is told from the Grimm Brothers who are of German decent and write with a bit more violence. In fact, one sister cuts off her big toe in order to fit into the tiny golden slipper. The heroine in both stories has a fairy god mother, but they vary in appearance. Yah Shen’s fairy takes the form of a fish, while Aschenputtel’s guardian is a tree. Although variations are evident in the story, the theme remains the same. Good things will happen if you just believe.
