Year 9 Fairytale Unit: Cinderella Group 2.

Group 2:
Seneti, Mareta, Shardi & Taniesha.

Overall reaction to the story:

We felt that this version of Cinderella was really different. For starters, the story does not explain where or how her father leaves. The step mother and sisters make her sort lentils and peas, whereas in the older story she has to scrub the floors. This story was also really weird because she had to shake a tree and chant to it, so that she can get her dreams fulfilled. Another part of the story that was different was how the step sisters cut and damaged their feet just to fit a shoe. This was weird because it showed how desperate they were just for love. Overall this version of Cinderella was different and really weird.
