Cinderella

This gives a child a new insight into life; it allows them to see that real mothers are good and should be appreciated if one exists. Most importantly the concept of death is not healthy for the psyche of a child. It is a vague and tragic circumstance that a child cannot relate to; even adults have a hard time dealing with it. Together with the mother's removal was the wishing tree. The main reason for its removal was that it was a symbol of continual mother-daughter relationship. The pigeons play a large role in the Grimm's tale, yet it was also removed. This is because the Fairy Godmother took over their role in helping Cinderella. In doing the replacement it extends the mind of child to think and make up a Fairy Godmother since she is fictional: she could be anything old, young, with wings and a wand. As for pigeons they look like other birds, it doesn't stimulate the mind as much as a fairy would.
             Some differences in the setting are also present one is that the ball is three days long on the later version. Though the magic number of three and repetition is a powerful tool in children's literature its deletion is suitable for the reason that patience is taken into account and the actions are redundant: girl goes to the ball, goes home, goes to the ball, goes home but looses a shoe. More differences in setting are in the dresses she wore, stockings and slippers. The details in the make and decorations are gone, the stocking, in fact, is also removed. Cinderella's bed in the nineteenth century narrative was by the ashes (giving rise to her name), is too dreadful for a child to accept. The symbol of ashes can connote dust, death, and dirt this will tell children their outlook in society to be meaningless. The setting in a farm is another deletion. The sorting of peas and lentils suggests this setting because peas and lentil are food for the poor who are usually farmers. .
             In adding to setting, and character parts of the theme is eradicated.
