The End of Ever After (The Movie)

Today in class we finished the end of the movie Ever After. I had never seen it, and I really enjoyed it as the closure to our Cinderella study. I feel like I can relate alot to Danielle in the way she fights and is devoted to things she loves. I'm devoted to my friends and family, and I do not give up easily on any person that shows interest in me as a friend. I have a passion for people, just as Danielle did. Sometimes I find myself wishing to be in another group (social class) as Danielle was able to do to see into another world that I'm not part of. But like Danielle, I do not want that other world to become a prison and cause more stress. If I was able to did what Danielle did, I would want that other (higher-status) world to be one of escape and freedom, not lies and bondage. I feel like every day I wake up I'm fighting the lies and and bondage from the events before. That's why I enjoy reading books like Ella Enchanted and watching characters like Danielle defeat their fate by using strength, wits, and courage.

I really liked the movie, and I like how much it differs from the Disney version of Cinderella. I like being able to really get know and grow with the characters throughout the stories.
