Jan. 23--- Cinderella

Extreme Makeover Home Edition is a great representation of the Cinderella story, the rags to riches. The family situation is such a horrible one and yet they still try to make other peoples life better all while trying to survive. Yet they never show how they will afford this house after it is built. They built this extravagant house for this family who couldn't afford a new house... how will they afford this new better house? Again they never show what happens after the happily ever after....

The music, movies, books etc that tells us that fairy tales are the way to live our lives and dictate our choices because of the way we feel about our lives. They show us that the only way to get a man is to be a "perfect princess." We need to realize that we have our own choices to make and no one can make them for us.
