I Muttere Cinderella-Personal Narrative
It all started when my mother decided to marry that man. As always we had no say in the matter and I didn't want to admit to my sister Drizella or my mother that I wasn't interested in going. "Come along now Drizella and Anastasia. We have no time to lose. I have found a man who will be able to take care of us until you too can secure proper lords," their mother said stepping into the carriage that would lead them to their new home. Anastasia let out a sigh and hopped into the carriage with her mother and sister. As we rode, Drizella bounced happily in her seat until mother gave her a stern look. Then Drizella whispered in my ear "I heard that mommy has married a man with lots of money and that he will buy us lots of beautiful gowns." I smiled and couldn't help but feed off her excitement as we both began to daydream about all the beautiful outfits we would get to wear. But that dream was short lived.

As we pulled up to the apparent "Rich Mans" house, all I could see was a large, old, crumbly house in the middle of nowhere. Drizella must have noticed as well because her excited bouncing had turned into angry stomping. "What is this," She

I tried my hardest not to think about poor cinderella as we went to the ball. At the ball, my sister and I didn't have much fun. My mother kept forcing us to stand straight and dance with rich men we didn't care about. She had wanted us to dance with the prince but he had only danced with one girl that whole evening. A girl with beautiful glass slippers and a stunning blue dress. Soon we headed home and I was surprised to find a letter in the mail the next day stating that the woman who could fit her foot in the glass slipper that I had seen earlier would marry the prince. My sister and I ran about, trying to prepare ourselves for this new found opportunity. I did not see my mother or cinderella until the man came to let us try on the dainty

    We also discussed the father dying and the step mother raising her, the issue of abuse did come in the form of Cinderella forced to clean the house, live on scraps and be treated as a servant instead of a child. In result of these I do believe Cinderella is suffering from a deep depression that began at a very young age. I do not feel she ever complete dealt with her mothers or fathers death in a way any child should. Cinderella admitted that she never talked about the deaths or mistreatment done by her step mother; she simply kept it to herself. She tried to deal by developing people pleasing skills, maybe in hopes to forget about the pain. As you would imagine Cinderella although we see her as a beautiful girl does exhibit low self esteem and this will be an issue that will take time to overcome. Before our first meeting Cinderella has married, she went to a ball (this was the first time away from home and social contact) and danced with the prince till midnight at which she decided to leave without even telling him her name. To her surprise, the prince did track her down and asked her to marry him in which she said yes. This happened during the second meeting of the two; the prince was the first man to ever pay attention to her and as result married him after 1 week of knowing him. I do believe this quick marriage is…

    Hey. The name’s Cinderella. Where I want to start my story is when my Dad married this phony after Mom died. Now I’ve got two crumby step-sisters, who aren’t exactly on the pretty side, and they make me work in the goddamn kitchen. I mean for chrissake, they make me work in my own goddamn kitchen. So anyway, this guy came over and invited them to some dance. I guess he was some sort of prince or something. Well I didn’t feel like being lousy and depressed all night so I went to the dance to. It was full of jerks. I mean these guys were real snobs. This one guy was practically on top of me for God’s sake. It was that phony the Prince. So I danced with the guy, I’m not sure why, him being such a snob and all. Then it was midnight and I didn’t much feel like sticking around. On my way out my goddamn shoe fell off. I mean that’s the last thing I need right now for chrissake. Anyway the Prince came over and picked it up. I guess he was some kind of perv or something. I didn’t want to talk to him or anything, so I got out of there like a bat out of hell. The next day the perv comes to my goddamn house with my goddam shoe. He tries to put it on those dopes, my sisters. It doesn’t fit. Of course it doesn’t fit for chrissake. I mean look at those feet. They look like some sort of clown feet or something. Any idiot can tell it doesn’t fit. This Prince guy isn’t too bright. Anyway, he comes over to me a puts it on, that’s when he asked to marry me. I turned him down. I didn’t want to be rude or anything, but he was such a goddam phony. They’re all goddam phonies, the Prince, my sisters, my step-mom, all of them. I think I really kind of hate this place.…

    I heard the murmur of their voices as I crossed the hall; the newly wedded couple had just sat down for dinner together, they had arrived only an hour ago. I entered the room to see Rebecca, her dark ash-brown hair, flowing like silk as it trailed down behind her dainty, gentle shoulders. I just couldn’t help to think, what kind of woman she was. I set down the plates, not speaking a word to either Sir or the new Madam; I was not in a position to talk to either of them, as that was not my responsibility. Madame, was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She seemed so comfortable being herself. She was so lovely, so accomplished, so amusing. This was my first meeting with her, and already I was in awe of her. She had the perfect breeding to be Sir’s wife, she was incredibly beautiful and as time went I on, I realised she had the brains and confidence to outwit anyone. She was entirely different to the second Mrs De Winter.…

    Everyone knows the story of Cinderella, the girl who finds her prince with the help of a magical fairy god-mother, transforming her previously horrible life to a fabulous depiction of every little girls dream. Generations of children around the world have heard the story Cinderella countless times, however most people are unaware of the multiple versions of this legend. The European version of Cinderella ,“Aschenputtel” written by the Grimm Brothers consists of the female protagonist being treated as a servant, yet somehow manages to leave her cruel family behind for her Prince whom she lives happily ever after with. Another version of Cinderella is the Native American tale “The Algonquin Cinderella”, where the female protagonist is also mistreated by her family, however she is fortunate enough to “find” her own prince in her village. Although both stories present similar morals, both vary in details such as characters, settings,and use of magic.…

    The Disney princesses have been a staple in American culture for many generations. From Cinderella to Snow White these princesses have been adapted into different stories, cultures, and forms of art. On March 17, 2017 at Moline High School, I attended the yearly musical, this year being Cinderella. As I entered the auditorium, an usher took my ticket and greeted and told me to enjoy the show, which I appreciated. The auditorium was pretty packed; however, I had gotten a reserved seat. Cinderella, Cherrie Herberg, had a warm and timid personality, which was perfect for Cinderella. She had a few times during her singing parts that could have been stronger, but overall her singing ability shone through. Cinderella really did well with the song…

    And it worked! She ran up into her room and I think she was crying because of us, not her father’s death. A day after the ball, a man came to our house and told us that he need us to try on a shoe, because the princes will marry whoever the shoe fits. “I think the girl who the prince liked at the ball was wearing that shoe.” My sister whispered. I tried it on and so did my sister. It did not fit, but then Cinderella came down and asked to try it on I said that was outrageous because she was home doing chores when the ball was going on. When she tried the shoe on and it fit I was flabbergasted.…

    The past few days were a surreal blur. Our beloved king was murdered and replaced by the seemingly innocent Macbeth. Several days later, the news of Banquo’s death reached the castle. It can’t be a coincidence. I have been living at this castle for exactly four months now after my father decided I should finally find a husband achieve something for the family. I have no intention of marrying, the mere thought of having to spend the rest of my life with someone that sees me as his object makes me ill. But I still have to put on a smile and act pleasantly. The life at the castle is tough. Back home I was able to read and go outside, here it is all about social gatherings. I envy my younger sisters. They still have time until they are shipped off like a pricy cow.…

    I was seated in the middle of the hall, surrounded by family and friends, I was presented with my tiara, heels, and my last doll.

It was overwhelming wrapping my head around the concept of being my own woman, but it was what I wanted.
