Part I

After reading, we'll discuss how all three of the assigned versions of Cinderella take on thecontext of location:

• How do these Tales differ from the Cinderella that you have come to know? Be specific.

• State the locations, what are they?

• How does location play a role in the way the tale is told? Observe language-play, cultural-traditions, historical background, or any other elements that help to fit the tale into a Global context.

• When reading The Chinese Cinderella, or "Yeh-hsien" (Tatar 146), what do you notice about the "Tomb of the Distressed Women" (Tatar 147)?

• What does each of these tales show the reader about femininity, oppression, and cultural-misogyny?

Part II

Upon watching the 1985 CBS production of the Chinese Cinderella, "Yeh-hsien," select one, hyper-specific, scene from the short-film and discuss the following:

• racial or stereotypical depictions

• cultural prescriptions (define this phrase before discussing it in the context of the age-old tale)

• the authority of the narrator




• in this case, who is telling the story? How does this change things?

Use specificdialogue, images, and visual observations to formulate your response.
