Let’s Practice Changing Point of View

Cinderella

A rich man's wife became sick, and when she felt that her end was drawing near, she called her only daughter to her bedside and said, "Dear child, remain pious and good, and then our dear God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you." With this she closed her eyes and died.

From Cinderella’s POV

My mom was really sick. Like terribly, about to die, not going to make it to tomorrow, sick. But before she died she told me, “Remain pious and good, and then our dear God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you.” And then she was gone. My mom was gone.

Cinderella

The girl went out to her mother's grave every day and wept, and she remained pious and good. When winter came the snow spread a white cloth over the grave, and when the spring sun had removed it again, the man took himself another wife.

Cinderella’s POV

I went to my mom’s grave every single day. It made me feel closer to her. I tried to remain pious and good, but it was hard. The first winter was the worst, even though it made her grave look beautiful. And when I was finally starting to get used to the idea of not having my mom around my dad went and married someone new.

Your TurnCinderella

This wife brought two daughters into the house with her. They were beautiful, with fair faces, but evil and dark hearts. Times soon grew very bad for the poor stepchild.

"Why should that stupid goose sit in the parlor with us?" they said. "If she wants to eat bread, then she will have to earn it. Out with this kitchen maid!"
