Cinderella 灰姑娘About the Cinderella Fairy Tale
Some 1500 versions of the basic Cinderella story have been recorded so far, and many of them are at least 1000 years old. In each, the cruel and thoughtless get their just rewards, as do those who are good and kind. Cinderella stories have both a rags-to-riches theme, and a good wins out over evil theme. Sibling rivalry is also a part of every story, and the stepmother is cruel and predatory. Cinderella is always the household drudge, and treated badly by her older sisters. Because Cinderella’s mother is dead, a helper character usually appears who can help Cinderella in her despair. Folktales place a premium on beauty, but also on a good and pure heart.

ESLBO Perspective Writing Assignment
Outline Due: Thurs Aug 9th Final Copy Due: Ms. Groom Friday Aug 10th / Rick's Class Monday Aug. 13th This assignment is based on the three stories you have read in class, The Three Little Pigs, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood. For this assignment, you will pretend to be a secondary character from the story (not the original main character, ex: NOT Cinderella, NOT LRRH) and write a short piece from that character’s point of view. Please write 250-500 words. You do not need to do any research for this, so no information from books, the internet, etc. is allowed. If you use such information, you will receive a grade of zero. You DO need to use information and events from the three stories. Be specific with your details. Use lots of description! Please choose ONE of the following options: 1. You are The 1st Little Pig, and you are writing a letter to your wife/husband/friend explaining why your house is broken and how you escaped the wolf. OR 2. You are the wolf. You are a very special wolf that can read and write. You keep a diary and write about the things that happen to you and the Three Little Pigs OR Little Red Riding Hood. How do you feel about the events? What do you want to do next? Please write one or two diary entries from the wolf’s point of view. OR 3. You are the Prince from Cinderella. You have just gone to your bedroom after the ball (party) and are going to write in your diary before bed. Explain the events at the ball, how you feel, and what you will do next. Please write one or two diary entries from the Prince’s point of view. |
