Cinderella Informative Speech
Have you ever had a character you looked up to in movies, shows, or real life? I have always admired Cinderella. She is a very well known Disney princess. Her movies have great life morals that we could all learn from. Even if she's a fictional character, the meaning of the story is what is important. Cinderella went through many troublesome times to get to her final destination. She could teach many things if she came to talk at our school.

Cinderella has been through many hard times. Her mother died when she was in her younger years. A couple years after her mother died, her father remarried to a wicked woman. Although he didn't know that she was wicked Cinderella figured it out rather quickly. The wicked step mother had two evil daughters. Soon after their marriage Cinderella's father died; he was her last hope for happiness. Cinderella's new so called sisters made her move out of her own room and go to the attic. The evil step mother made her clean the house all day. She was not able to go out, so that meant she didn't have a chance to have friends. Having going through all of this, she would have a lot to discuss.

They treated her like a servant, so she had to serve them continually. She didn't have any free time for herself. Although Cinderella was treated very bad, she always obeyed no matter what. Only once did she disobey. There was one time she left their house when she wasn't supposed to. That very night at the ball she met her prince charming. She wasn't supposed to go to the ball at all, but for her it was worth all the labor after. She always made the best out of things, even though her life wasn't perfect. The students would learn a ton of things from

    In all these versions, readers or viewers find a common thread to all. The wicked stepmother and siblings are either punished or forgiven, while the sweet, gracious, and beautiful Cinderella marries the prince, and as such escapes her miserable life. According to this tale, marriage is the ultimate goal in life especially for the woman. In Cinderella, all the maidens in town go to the ball just to marry the prince. Even Cinderella desires to go because she sees marriage to the prince as the solution to her problem. “The ideological and psychological pattern and message of either Perrault’s or the Grimms’ Cinderella do nothing more than reinforce sexist values and a Puritan ethos that serves a society which fosters competition and achievement for survival” (Breaking the Magic 195). And this applies to the other two versions in this analysis. Women are typecast as incomplete and invisible without the prince, who obviously is a wealthy archetype. There is a certain important message in Cinderella that is most profitable to marry a rich man, because it earns the woman respect and dignity.…

    To begin with Cinderella has always been that girl mistreated very poorly but has never give up. Her stepmother begins to show her true colors after her and her father got married. “She employed her in the meanest work of the house” (Perraultt).

And her father married someone else and her stepmother did not like Yeh-Shen so she mistreated her and killed Yeh-Shen’s fish which was her only friend she had. “She would also scoured the dishes, tables, etc.…

    Growing up I can remember how I felt after watching the Cinderella story. Inspired by the rags-to-riches fairy tale, I can remember hoping that maybe someday I could be like Cinderella. I never imagined the story I knew all-too-well would have been dramatically altered from its original version. Though the lesson remains the same, comparisons reveal numerous differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella to the earlier Charles Perrault’s “Cinderella: Or the Glass Slipper”. Variations are noticed in characters, events, and outcomes of this world-famous…

    First of all, the description given of Cinderella is much more detailed and specific than the description given of Little Red Riding Hood. Readers of Cinderella’s story know that her mother died when she was very young, that her father remarried a woman who doesn’t care much for Cinderella, and that she now has two wicked step-sisters, Anastasia and Drizella, who make the concept of a blended family little more than a nightmare for Cinderella. The reader immediately feels a sense of sympathy for Cinderella. Some readers may have lost a parent themselves, and many have experienced “step” relationships that were less than ideal, to say the least. They may also feel that, like Cinderella, they too have to do all the work in their home, whether it’s washing the dishes or scrubbing a soot-encrusted fireplace. In contrast, readers know very little about Little Red Riding Hood, except that her mother sews, as evidenced by the brightly colored cloak she wears as her trademark, and that her grandmother lives in the woods. Frankly, that’s not much of a description, and certainly not one that allows a reader to feel any kind of connection to her.…

    Once again, it is up to her fairy godmother and the prince to rescue her from a life of cruelty. Marriage is her ultimate goal, as it is seemingly her only chance at escape. The movie revolves around beauty and impressing others. Cinderella could have easily gone to the ball in her everyday clothes, but instead she knew that she needed to wear something fancy to impress the men she might meet. Additionally, the prince falls in love with her before they even speak, contributing even more to the idea that beauty is the most important. Despite the fact that she disobeys her step-mother’s orders to not go to the ball, Cinderella still manages to embody innocence and remain submissive to those around her (Baker-Sperry…

    While Cinderella’s mother and the Fairy Godmother are not named, her stepmother and stepsisters are and hold many conversation with Cinderella and each other that revolve around numerous things like clothing, chores, nature and kindness. But, people still tend to have a problem with the story, thinking it feminist. In the film, the stepmother and step sisters obsess over their own looks and constantly put down Cinderella, even her name is a mockery. Then there is also the fact that the Prince ‘saves’ her from her life of misfortune and misery. But I don’t think that this is the case. Kenneth Branagh, the director of the film, balances the old with the new. He keeps aspects of the original Walt Disney film while modernising the character of Cinderella. The film focuses on the message that you should be kind to others, even if they are not kind themselves instead of beauty. Cinderella is also shown to be kind, courageous and brave with a unique personality which the Prince fall in love with. Yes, she is beautiful, but the Prince does not fall for her beauty but rather is charm. Also, though the Prince does ’save’ her in a sense, she didn’t really ‘need’ saving and Cinderella does a lot of the ‘saving’…

    Grimm vs Disney

    In both the Grimm and Disney versions the story of Cinderella is a tale of mistreatment, spite, and a rescued escape. In both versions Cinderella is made to become a servant in her own home. The Grimm story continues with far-reaching detail of the harsh abuse and cruelty Cinderella endures. Disney reduced these harsh acts by describing Cinderella as a harmonic young woman who had friends in the animals occupying the house. In Disney’s version, no matter how hard she worked, Cinderella was always presentable. She sang of her dreams coming true which appeared as a motivator for her not to give up hope and continue to be kind. The Grimm version of the tale differs in this area. Before her passing, Cinderella’s mother tells her that if she continues to be the kind soul that she is then God will always help her and that she will watch down on her. This happens to be Cinderella’s real focus for continuously doing good deeds.…

    Cinderella teaches the as evil as her step mother and sisters are there are also kind people in the world. This fairy tale teaches unrealistic life expectations. The most unrealistic life expectation that this movie teaches young girls is that mice and animals talk to people. Another thing this fairy tale teaches is that all step siblings and step parents are evil. This movie teaches young girls even though Cinderella’s step mother and step sisters are so mean , she has other friends to help her out when she is down, like the fairy godmother and her animal friends. An example of this is when the animal friends fix up her ball gown for her to…

    Attention- getter: What would you do if somebody came into this classroom and pointed a gun at you as if they were going to kill you for no reason? First thing that would come to mind is, “Am I really going to die right now” and “Why is a person on campus with a gun trying to kill people?” Sad part is, an event like this has happened many times in the past. For instance, the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting as well as the Colorado movie theatre shooting that all took place within the past year[example]. These mass shootings have brought up the issue of controlling who is able to purchase guns and if it is safe and necessary to roam around in public armed with a weapon.…

    She is a much better person than most people. She is very kind to all creatures, whether it be animals or humans. Cinderella takes it upon herself to robe, feed, and befriend the animals of the house. She takes care of her evil stepmother and stepsisters because she is good at heart, and she will put up with their torture to help them. She could choose not to help them, or just to leave, but she knows that she won't have anything left, and they need her. It is because of this pure, perfect attitude that the prince falls in love with her instantly, and not with the other girls that just want to be with the prince for superficial reasons. Her effervescent kind-heartedness that prevails through her hardships is an example of the humanistic perspective. The humanistic perspective views behavior as controlled by the decisions that people make about their lives based on their perceptions of the world. It's a view in which personality is seen as developing through an actualizing tendency which unfolds in accordance with each person's unique perceptions of the…
