ANNA SEXTON'S "CINDERELLA
Okay, so this is your basic fairytale with a splash of modern script put into it. I can't say I heavily applaud this poem, but for the most part, it was interesting how she worded it. Out of many Cinderella stories told, this was a pretty chill read (aside from it being so long) oy vey! (o;TωT)o
Continuing on... I don't know why but I like the line "from diapers to Dior", in the second stanza, but I feel its because I actually own products from that brand...so that connection was unexpected. The story still bases a lot of the original story which is also good because I personally don't like a lot of mix up and interpretation on such a commonly known story such as this one. But whoa, what is up with that amputation...can you say DESPERATE?! And that violence in persistence. And by this I mean a white dove is supposed to symbolize serenity and purity, but reading how the dove pecked these poor girls blind, the fate was unjust. Or was it? Either way, having this modernized was very direct and descriptive in ways more than one.
