This turned out to be one of my favorite stories to read. Not so much because I have this in depth interpretation of the story, but it was just entertaining for me. I'm guessing because I'm a girl and I can relate to some of these girls' personalities. This story reminded me of Cinderella, but almost opposite. The two girls reminded me of the "evil step-sisters", except they weren't really evil. They weren't the sweetest strawberry patch, but they were like two normal young teenagers who think they're the best thing since milk and honey. The child, who I would normally perceive to be Cinderella, was quite opposite of her. I would expect the two girls, or the "evil step-sisters", to be the ones to ruin the child's life and make her miserable and think of mean things to do to her. Instead, the child tried to think of evil things to do to the girls and was downright mean to them.
I mainly liked this story because I think I was similar to the personalities of the two girls when I was fourteen. They loved attention from boys and there seemed to be no other entertainment, but to flirt and have a boy to look at you. Not that I was boy crazy then or anything..ha..I can also relate to these girls because I went to a private school all throughout middle school and even though that's nothing compared going to an all girls school, they were very strict about boy-girl conduct. I think this makes you even more boy or girl crazy. I don't really have a deep interpretation of the story. I just took this more of fun entertainment story for me that I really enjoyed. I think because I could relate it to a Disney story (which I LOVE!) and could relate it to myself...which seems to be a recurring theme in my blog posts haha.
You are definitely getting part of the story! I'm glad that you liked it so much. You may also like the poem we are going to read in class in a class or two, which is also about a moment in a young girl's growing up.
