So let me tell you the story of how I got everything I ever wanted. Well not everything I ever wanted, just got away from some goddam people that were insane and got myself a man. Did you know you have a fairy godmother? I had no idea I had one either and she changed my whole damn life around. So let me start from the beginning, not the very beginning though because I have got other goddam things to do in my day besides tell a story. Once upon a time, there once was a girl named Cinderella and at least that’s what they called me. I had the blondest goddam hair you have ever seen and I lived with two stepsisters and my stepmother. I was their goddam maid all of the time and waited upon their every need and ate the crappiest food scraps that they would leave for me. I could kill the people that were so called “my family”. I was very unhappy most of the time. There was also a prince who was in need of a wife to rule the kingdom with him and he was a damn good-looking, bastard he was. My stepsisters drooled over him only because they wanted all the money and power that came with it. Who really cares about that? Well I really don’t give a damn. There was a ball or a large dance for the whole kingdom and they were all invited. My stepsisters bought new gowns and shoes. I was afraid to ask that witch that was my new mother if I could go because I knew she would say no. It really upset me and I was damn near crying and I didn’t know what to do because I didn’t have my real mother or my father. I really missed my mother more than anything and a girl needs her mother in this type of situation and how come no one is ever there for me? My life sucks. That’s the easiest way to put it.
Then a fairy appeared right in front of my goddam eyes. I don’t know how the hell that happened but it seemed kind of phony. Was this a joke? Am I dreaming? What the hell is going on? This never happens to me. I never

    Hey. The name’s Cinderella. Where I want to start my story is when my Dad married this phony after Mom died. Now I’ve got two crumby step-sisters, who aren’t exactly on the pretty side, and they make me work in the goddamn kitchen. I mean for chrissake, they make me work in my own goddamn kitchen. So anyway, this guy came over and invited them to some dance. I guess he was some sort of prince or something. Well I didn’t feel like being lousy and depressed all night so I went to the dance to. It was full of jerks. I mean these guys were real snobs. This one guy was practically on top of me for God’s sake. It was that phony the Prince. So I danced with the guy, I’m not sure why, him being such a snob and all. Then it was midnight and I didn’t much feel like sticking around. On my way out my goddamn shoe fell off. I mean that’s the last thing I need right now for chrissake. Anyway the Prince came over and picked it up. I guess he was some kind of perv or something. I didn’t want to talk to him or anything, so I got out of there like a bat out of hell. The next day the perv comes to my goddamn house with my goddam shoe. He tries to put it on those dopes, my sisters. It doesn’t fit. Of course it doesn’t fit for chrissake. I mean look at those feet. They look like some sort of clown feet or something. Any idiot can tell it doesn’t fit. This Prince guy isn’t too bright. Anyway, he comes over to me a puts it on, that’s when he asked to marry me. I turned him down. I didn’t want to be rude or anything, but he was such a goddam phony. They’re all goddam phonies, the Prince, my sisters, my step-mom, all of them. I think I really kind of hate this place.…

Anyone who has suffered through a death of a close family member or the loss of a relationship would recognize the behavior exhibited by the step-mother and daughters as being not only understandable, but expected.…

    When you think of the Roaring Twenties, Jazz musicians, The Harlem Renaissance, and flappers all come to mind. They all remind you of great joy and happiness. Light-weight contender James J. Braddock was an average family man living a great, successful life in the United States during the year of 1928. When the Great Depression hit due to the stock market crash, James’ life started to go downhill and it was becoming harder for him to provide for his family. After losing an unsuccessful boxing fight to Abe Feldman, Braddock won no money and he got fired from his boxing career. He also suffered from a broken hand.

From Cinderella to Snow White these princesses have been adapted into different stories, cultures, and forms of art. On March 17, 2017 at Moline High School, I attended the yearly musical, this year being Cinderella.

She had a few times during her singing parts that could have been stronger, but overall her singing ability shone through. Cinderella really did well with the song…
