My childhood story Cinderella

Hello guys! Well, looked back to our childhood memories, all of us definitely had at least 1 story that we remembered most. Stories such as Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White were very familiar to us those days. As for me, I loved Cinderella the most.

1) The reason(s) I choose the story
The reason I choose Cinderella as my favourite story because of the elements the athor infuses to the story like magic element and fantasy. Cinderella is a story that captures my interests as beautiful princess and her prince charming really brings me into another world. The fairy godmother that has the power to change everything like she easily turns Cinderella to become a princess beautifully dressed with gown and a pair of glass shoes makes me enjoys reading. Other than that, the lesson that i get after reading the story teaches me not to treat others badly and not to look down upon others. When we respect others, they will respect us in turn.

2) What element(s) in the story that make you think that the story is interesting?
The elements of magic, suspense and fantasy are the major aspects that makes the story interesting. As we all know, children are attracted to magic and fantasy. When I read this story, the elements mentioned above encourage me to read this story more and more. The part when the clock strucks at 12 where the magic spell loses its power makes my heart beats so fast, curious what will happen to Cinderella and what is the consequence if the prince finds Cinderella wearing old clothes? Moreover, the story ends with happy ending makes me feel relieved.

3) The portrayal of characters in the story.
The protagonist of the story who is Cinderella is portrayed as pretty, soft, hardworking and kind-hearted. These traits gives the chance to readers to love Cinderella and feel pity for her. However, Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters are portrayed as disrespectful, lazy, nasty and not good looking. The readers will dislike these characters, thus, these traits brings the idea that we should not act like one. The prince is only a minor character but is portrayed as having good quality such as good looking and kind.

4) The plot of the story
The plot of the story follows traditional plot sequence. It starts with the exposition where the stepmother and the stepsisters are excited with the ballroom dance invitation from the palace. The climax comes when the clock strucks at 12 and the king finds one of Cinderella's glass shoes. The resolution is when the story ends with Cinderella happily married to the prince.
