For example the “Cinderella” we know and love and the Ireland version the “Cinderlad”.The two cinderella stories, “Cinderlad” the Irish version and “Cinderella” the French version have both differences and similarities. Using the Motif “Damsel in distress” I can show that they are different & similar because of the culture they originated from and their social necessities.

Have you ever heard of other Cinderella stories aside from the traditional ones that usually come across television or shows up in children's books? Well, if not now you know there are more. These Cinderella stories are all different, but similar in some type of way. There are many stories that are unique either because of the cultural diversity, or even the way it ended. We all know how the traditional one goes where there’s a beautiful girl who’s mistreated by her step mom and sisters that were married into the family. Long story short she sneaked to the ball and left before midnight losing a slipper; the prince found it, and then so on… later getting married at the end.

The Disney version of the story, Cinderella, illustrates a different moral than that of the original story. This story believes an ideal child should do what they are told and follow directions and in the end they will reap the rewards. In this story, Cinderella’s mother dies and her father remarries to a woman who has two daughters. While the daughters are pampered, Cinderella must work to keep the house from falling into disrepair. She befriends the animals and they help her to get ready to go to the ball by finishing her chores and making her a dress. When the evil stepsisters discover the dress they become furious because the mice used trimming from their clothing when making the dress. In revenge, the stepsisters rip the dress, leaving Cinderella out of options and out of hope. Just as Cinderella is about to give up, her fairy godmother appears and with a wave of magic creates a dress and turns a pumpkin and the mice into a horse and carriage.

A lot of the fairy tale stories that we have seen as young adults and even as adults are original folk tale stories that have been modified and rewritten to accommodate our new cultures. Cinderella happens to be one of these stories that have been changed over the years. There are many different versions of Cinderella, an African Cinderella, a Hungarian Cinderella and even a Chinese version. All of the Cinderella’s are similar in plot, but the author dictates the story’s theme based on the people whom he is writing for which completely changes the story’s tone, mood and other elements. While Perrault's version stresses the values and materialistic worries of his middle-class audience, Grimm’s' focus is on the harsh realities of life

The two stories of “Cinderella” are “Tam and Cam”; and “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted by Alexander Chodzko. These stories have similar ways in portraying the hard working Cinderella including her suffering, but they are different in Cinderella’s motive of rescue one tale use violence if necessary; the other just more of a genuine resourceful approach. This means this character isn’t relying on a prince charming to be her rescue, so this makes the concept different from the other because “Tam and Cam” Cinderella lives forever happy with her lover, while “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted lives by herself and then a farmer she likes shows up. These tales went for a more sophisticated setting, each displaying the peasant overcoming the struggle; in which she is set free from all of her hurting. Throughout each story Cinderella is taking and caring she always seemed to get the short end of the stick. But, when the odds back fired on the step-sisters and step-mother the karma was naturally set upon to benefit Cinderella in her favor “Tam and Cam” or set in motion by her as payback to get even with her rival characters of a family in “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted lives.

Differences are in Perrault’s version he stresses the values and materialistic worries of the middle-class while Grimm’s version focus on harsh realities of life associated with the peasant culture. Also, Grimm’s version the help that Cinderella gets do not come from the fairy god-mother but the wishing tree that grows on her mother grave; stepsisters try to trick the prince by cutting off parts of their feet in order to get the slippers and not like other versions by just simply trying the shoe on. Another is the prince is alerted by two pigeons who peck out the stepsisters eyes, and also in the Grimm’s version the prince get tricked twice but spared by the birds. In which this lowers the prince’s status and he seems less heroic, and raising Cinderella’s status as a strong-willed individuals. Brothers Grimm portrays Cinderella as a headstrong orphan who becomes a heroine by standing up for herself even though it may result in punishment in which is completely different from the other versions because the prince try to find Cinderella and become the heroic person. Also, the writing style is different which completely modifies the tale.

There are many different versions of the classic story, Cinderella. Grimm’s version was just as wonderful, but had more twisted moments than Disney’s story. Both stories are about a girl who overcomes the cruelty of her evil stepmother and stepsisters and ends up living happily ever after. Although, there are many differences, there are three that stand out. The three main differences are, the father died in disney's version but did not die in Gimms version, there was no fairy godmother in Grimm's version but there was in Disney's, and in the original version the stepsisters cut their heels and toes off so it would fit in the slipper but in the Disney version they did not.

Everybody, regardless of their religious beliefs or devotion to their god, has sinned. But this sinning is not just limited to bad actions. Lies are a predominant part of sinning.

The Grimm version and the Disney version of Cinderella both include punishment to the stepsisters for how they treated Cinderella and they both exemplify the theme. For example, in both versions, the stepsisters do not get to what they want,which is to marry the prince and for Cinderella not to be happy. The Disney version kept it this way because that is basically the story. If the

Each version of Cinderella relies on the supernatural events that Cinderella endure for her to prepare for the ball. In Perrault’s version, the fairy godmother is the supernatural helper that aids her in preparing for the Prince’s ball. The fairy godmother reshaped objects and animals into different forms so they would be able to fulfill functions the fairy godmother required of them. Grimm’s version of Cinderella uses a magical bird to give her the things she needed. Cinderella does not directly ask for the things specifically, but she knows exactly how to ask for them in order to receive what she needed for the three day ball. Walt Disney’s version is similar to Perrault 's version. It also incorporates a fairy godmother, but in more detail. She turned pumpkins into carriages, pet mice into horses,a dog into a man, and the barn horse into a coachman. If the fairy godmother or magical bird did not help Cinderella, she would have not been able to attend the ball and readers might not have recognized any of these stories as being versions of Cinderella.

In the Disney tale, her father is depicted as a loving and caring man whose most sacred is his daughter Cinderella. In Grimm’s version the two stepsisters are not ugly but actually beautiful with evil inside them.

As the story continues it is clear that Cinderella’s father abandons her.

Walt Disney’s Cinderella is adapted from the original fairy tale written in 1697 by Charles Perrault.

Cinderella’s younger stepsister is much more polite than the older stepsister, who calls Cinderella Cinderwench. The king in Perrault’s tale hosts a two day Ball, which Cinderella attends with the help of the fairy godmother. During Cinderella’s preparation for the first night of the Ball, Cinderella helps the fairy godmother find a coachman when the fairy godmother could not find one.

Before reading Cinder I thought it was going to be very much like Cinderella. For instance, all romantic and lovey-dovey. Later on, after reading the first few chapters I noticed it is not like Cinderella. Both the book and the movie have many differences.
