Year 9 Fairytale Unit: Cinderella Group 1.

Group 1:
Eli, Laykin, Chris & Tevita.

Things that we found unusual from the text were:

  1. In the class version, Cinderella sleeping on the ashes, in the old story she slept on the floor.
  2. In the class version, Cinderella had to sort the lentils into a good pile and a bad pile. In the old story she only had to clean up.
  3. In the class version, she had to shake a tree in order to get her wishes. In the old story she has a fairy god-mother who helps her.
  4. In the class version, her older step sisters cut their toes off to fit into the shoe. In the old story, the sisters do not cut their toes when they find out that the shoe is too small for them.
