Title: Cinderella
Author: Retold by Christine San Jose (Retold meaning its in fairy tales category under traditional literature)
Illustrator: Debrah Santini
Medium: Colored pencils and paints
Genre: Fairytales because its involved magic, the first sentence mentioned once ago, and had a happy end.
Theme: "Follow your heart" because Cinderella didn't want to be one of those mean women. Mean women rejected her for being truly faithful to herself. She ended up earning what she wanted.
Literacy Elements:
Setting: This story located in two places. First, this story took in Cinderella's home with her step-mom and step-sisters. She spent around cleaning the room and kitchen. Second, its happened in ballroom where she escaped from home and met a man of her dream. The places, things, and ways people dressed and looked were very traditional.
Characterization: All the women looked depressed in a couple different ways. Step-mother and step-sisters had their faces showing of low self-esteem. They were angry without self-confidence and tried to pull Cinderella down to help making them feel better about themselves. Cinderella looked depressed in her own way. Her face displayed frustration and confusion about what she should do.
Style: This book had good drawings of Cinderella, step-mom, and step-sisters expressed emotions. Even this book was published for young children, the vocabulary might be well-advanced for their age such as toilette, pranced, elegant, magnificent, and extravagant. Illustration displayed dark colors with plenty of brown and dark red purposely to keep it weary.
Plot: It's a fairy tale about Cinderella escaped from daily life slavery under her step-mom and step-sisters. She found a man of her dream and recused her apart from her cruel, artificial family.
Evaluation/Reflection: I personally never liked a Cinderella story. I don't think I've seen a worse Cinderella story than this one. At some points, I disagreed to call it a fairy tale because I didn't see any smiley faces. The colors and advanced vocabulary made the book looking too depressed to read. The drawings were bad sometimes that I couldn't recognize who's Cinderella. It wasn't easy to notice the differences between women's appearance. I'm surprised that its book is still existed and findable in many places.
