CINDERELLA

Many people heard of “Cinderella” when they were young and regard this as one of

the best children’s stories of all time. This wonderful story sparked their beliefs in fairytales.

Some children did grow out of the true love fairytale and some grew up to still believe in it. It

is a story that relatable to the child’s emotions. They will see that Cinderella is unwanted and

underappreciated but that she then gets what she wished for all and thanks to magic.

Orenstein’s article exceeds all the childish magic, unlike Streep’s article. Orenstein

says the story has blinded many in the hopes of looking for a fairytale love, and they focus

too much on the reality of true love and happily ever after’s. However, Streep’s article states

that “Cinderella” is a story that children fall back on whenever they feel left out. Both authors

give more of their opinions than actual facts on how people truly affected by the “Cinderella”

story.
