Ever After

In class we talked about how the writer of Ever After was a male, and more importantly a father of two girls. We then discussed the importance of this role and reasons why he wrote the story the way he did. I have found other reasons, on top of the ones we talked about in class.
-In this Cinderella, the father was present and more importantly played a postive role in Danielle's life. The writer probably did this to show his daughters it is good to have a strong relationship with your father.
-Danielle is a very strong minded individual in this film. She is very capable of taking care of herself as well as others and is not relient on the prince to sweep in and save the day. This was written to show his daughters the importance of self-relliance.
-Also, Danielle was extremely loyal to her family and those that she loved. This showed the writeres daughters to always trust and love her own family and not to take them for granted.
