  • Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister
    Reading Guide Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister By Gregory Maguire ISBN: 9780060987527 Summary We have all heard the story of Cinderella, the beautiful child cast out to slave among the ashes. But what of her stepsisters, the homely pair exiled into ignominy by the fame of their lovely sibling? What fate befell those untouched by beauty...and what curses accompanied Cinderella's exquisite looks? Set against the rich backdrop of seventeenth-century Holland, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister tells the story of Iris, an unlikely heroine who finds herself swept from the lowly streets of Haarlem to a strange world of wealth, artifice, and ambition. Iris's path quickly becomes intertwined with that of Clara, the mysterious and unnaturally beautiful girl destined to become her sister. Far more than a mere fairy-tale, Confessions is a novel of beauty and betrayal, illusion and understanding, reminding us that deception can be unearthed -- and love unveiled -- in the most unexpected of places. Questions for Discussion 1. While versions of the Cinderella story go back at least a thousand years, most Americans are familiar with the tale of the glass slippers, the pumpkin coach, and the fairy godmother. In what ways does Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister contain the magical echo of this tale, and in what ways does it embrace the traditions of a straight historical novel? 2. Confessions is, in part, about the difficulty and the value of seeing-seeing paintings, seeing beauty, seeing the truth. Each character in Confessions has blinkers or blinders on about one thing or another. What do the characters overlook, in themselves and in one another? 3.

    ABSTRACT REREADING FEMALE BODIES IN LITTLE SNOW-WHITE: INDEPENDENCE AND AUTONOMY VERSUS SUBJUGATION AND INVISIBILITY By Dianne Graf In this thesis, the circumstances and events that motivate the Queen to murder Snow-White are reexamined.

  • Cinderella – Beautiful Girl
    Cinderella – Beautiful Girl Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella. She lived with her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. They treated Cinderella very badly. One day, they were invited for a grand ball in the king’s palace. But Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her go. Cinderella was made to sew new party gowns for her stepmother and stepsisters, and curl their hair. They then went to the ball, leaving Cinderella alone at home. Cinderella felt very sad and began to cry. Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared and said, “Don’t cry, Cinderella! I will send you to the ball!” But Cinderella was sad. She said, “I don’t have a gown to wear for the ball!” The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and changed Cinderella’s old clothes into a beautiful new gown! The fairy godmother then touched Cinderella’s feet with the magic wand. And lo! She had beautiful glass slippers! “How will I go to the grand ball?” asked Cinderella. The fairy godmother found six mice playing near a pumpkin, in the kitchen. She touched them with her magic wand and the mice became four shiny black horses and two coachmen and the pumpkin turned into a golden coach. Cinderella was overjoyed and set off for the ball in the coach drawn by the six black horses. Before leaving. the fairy godmother said, “Cinderella, this magic will only last until midnight! You must reach home by then!” When Cinderella entered the palace, everybody was struck by her beauty. Nobody, not even Cinderella’s stepmother or stepsisters, knew who she really was in her pretty clothes and shoes.

  • Learning to Comprehend Written Language
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 255 871 CS 007 984 AUTHOR Teale, William H. TITLE Learning to Comprehend Written Language. PUB DATE Nov 84 NOTE 33p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of English (74th, Detroit, MI, November 16-21, 1984). Funding provided by a Faculty Research Grant from the University of Texas, San Antonio, and by a grant from the Spencer Foundation. PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) -- Viewpoints (120) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Pius Postage. DESCRIPTORS Child Development; *Childrens Literature; Classrcom Environment; *Cognitive Development; *Language Acquisition; Learning Theories; *Literature Appreciation; Prereading Experience; Primary Education; *Reading Comprehension; *Story Reading; Teaching Methods ABSTRACT The comprehension of written stories starts with learning to comprehend everyday situations, but it is the child's direct experiences with written stories that bring the process to fruition. These direct experiences with stories are generally of two, types. Initially there is a storybook time, the occasions upon which a literate person, usually themother, and the child engage in an act of communication with a book as the focus of the interaction. As the child becomes familiar with reading books through story time, the child experiences written story in another way--the independent reenactments of familiar books. The general description of the means by which storybook time helps the child learn to comprehend written stories is L. S. Vygotsky's notion of development from interpsychological functioning (the parent ani the child jointly construct the story) to intrapsychological functioning(the child is able to construct, or comprehend, the story individually). Classrooms should be places where children experience stories.

  • The Beauty, the Beast, and the Subverted Fairy Godmother Figure”
    Sarah A. Brown “The Beauty, the Beast, and the Subverted Fairy Godmother Figure” Brigham Young University Brown 2 Abstract There are several adaptations of The Beauty and the Beast, but three in particular are intriguing because of their use of a dark female force. The goddess Diana in the film La Belle et la Bête (Cocteau), Bertha Mason in the novel Jane Eyre (Brontë), and Mrs. Bates in the film Psycho (Hitchcock) all qualify as subverted fairy godmothers in their respective tales because of their role as “other,” their exertion of the female gaze, and their ability to undermine the Belle and Beast figures’ ability to love. Though traditional fairy godmothers utilize magic to aid the protagonists, these adaptations incorporate nontraditional, subverted fairy godmothers to revolutionize the role of fairy godmothers and fairy tales in society. Keywords: Beauty, Beast, fairy godmother, fairy tale, La Belle et la Bête, Jane Eyre, Psycho, Gothic, adaptation Brown 3 The story of Beauty and the Beast could not exist without the element of magic. From the enchanted castle to the Beast himself, magic gives this tale a sense of mystery, wonder, and charm. Because of the many retellings of Beauty and the Beast, the source of these enchantments often differs. However, in the original version by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, the text never reveals the source of the enchantment. As a result, Belle—without any magical assistance—independently restores the Beast to his natural form with her proclamation of love. She alone has the power to break the Beast’s spell. Interestingly enough, this is not the case in subsequent adaptations and related films.

  • Morgan Le Fay: the Inheritance of the Goddess
    Brathair 15 (1), 2015 ISSN 1519-9053 Morgan le Fay: The Inheritance of the Goddess Ana Rita Martins English Lecturer Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Letras (ULICES) [email protected] Enviado em: 30/05/2015 Aceito em: 07/07/2015 Resumo: “Morgan le Fay: A Herança da Deusa” faz uma breve análise da figura de Morgan le Fay nas narrativas arturianas na Idade Média. Começando por uma reflexão sobre os Celtas e a sua cultura, este estudo tem por objectivo demonstrar como a origem de Morgan le Fay poderá remontar às deusas célticas. Com efeito, Morgan possui características que a aproximam de A Morrígan e Modron. Todavia, é de salientar que esta personagem apenas surge pela primeira vez, em 1150, na obra Vita Merlini, de Geoffrey of Monmouth sob o nome Morgen. Suprema regente da ilha maravilhosa de Avalon, ela possui características exclusivamente benéficas. Assim, pretendemos também explicar as razões pelas quais esta se transformou numa das principais vilãs dos textos arturianos. Adicionalmente, serão considerados algumas das obras literárias medievais inglesas, bem como factores de ordem sociocultural. Palavras-chave: Morgan le Fay; Narrativas Arturianas; Mitos Célticos. Abstract: “Morgan le Fay: The Inheritance of the Goddess” will analyze Morgan le Fay’s character in Arthurian narrative during the Middle Ages. Starting from a research on the Celts and their culture, this article aims to prove that Morgan le Fay’s origin might be traced back to Celtic goddesses due to the characteristics she shares with the Celtic goddesses The Morrígan and Modron. However, Morgan is only mentioned for the first time, in 1150, in the work Vita Merlini by Geoffrey of Monmouth, where she is named Morgen.
