    3. I think Yeh Shen is more heroine because she has to face bigger obstacles. People go to far in her sory such as killing her fish.

    4. I think the end of the story for the stepsisters is not very good. But I think they do get what they deserve.

    I think yeh-shen is more of a heroine because she endured more pain while she was living with her stepmom and stepsister.

    I think the stepmoms and stepsisters got what they deserve.

    1. Yeh-Shen and Cinderella are alike in many ways. They both loose their shoes. Also, they both got to a type of party. Ways they are different are Yeh-Shen goes to a festival and Cinderellsa goes to the ball. One more thing is that is different is Yeh-Shen is Chinese and Cinderella is Amarican.
    3. I think Yeh-Shen is more of a heroine because Yeh-Shen leaves her house in the dark to get her shoe. That is brave. Also Yeh-Shen is brave to run away from the king. She is a great heroine.

    Well, if fish bones and the fairy godmother was not there they would be in trouble. But they could just call there NICE dad, thats what I would do. Or they could just be there self.


    Yeh-Shen and Cinderella are alike in many ways. One way is there siblings are very mean. One there siblings are both mean. Two they both have a problem in the story. Three they both got what they deserved in a good way.

    In Yeh-Shen the sisters get what they deserve because they were mean they got pelted with stones In cinderella they don;t get what they deserve they get maried for being mean.

    I think that Yeh-Shen was more of a heroine she helped people beleiven themselves.2.Their step sisters did get what they deserve. Because Yeh-shen's family was meaner than cinderella's step family.

    4.Evaluating- I think in Yeh-Shen the sister/stepmom did not get what they diserve because you should be punished, no death.

    2.Intergating- Cinderella without the fairygodmother could have told the prince the truth, then the prince might like her for who she is. In Yeh-Shen she could have just came as herself.

    They are alike in the way that they both are fairy tales .Also they both get married .Cinderella has a godmother.Yeh-shen has fish bones spirit .

    6/2/2009 9:21:21 AM
  • Tatiana

    Ithink that Yeh-Shen is .Because she has to go through life with no friends

    1. Cinderella is like Yeh-shen because their both cinderella's and both girls.2.I think they got what they diserved in Yeh-shen but not in cinderella.

    1.I think that neither Cinderella or Yeh-shen are better because the storys are the same so neither are better than each other.I also think that cinderella and Yeh-Shen are nice and intellingent.They both arn't greedy.I still think neither.
    2.They are alike because both stories someone gets married.Also Yeh-Shen and cinderella loose shoes.They are differnt because the stories come from differnt places and times.Yeh-Shen is chines and cinderella is europeian.

    well Yeh-Shen has a spirt and cinderella has a god mother.Both have girls.In the stories both girls get married to a prince.

    Cinderella could of broke into the castle and found her true love.Yeh-Shen could run away and tell the king

    3. Evaluating-I think Yeh-shen because she saved her only friends(wich is her fish)bones and she found her fishes golden slipper.

    #1.One thing how they are alike, is they both have a spirit or a Godmother. How they are different is the stepmother and stepsister in Yeh-shen got crushed by huge rocks.
    #2. they would not have a bff, and be bord all day. Have no one to play with boohoo! :]

    2.Yeh-Shen can ask the king to destroy her sister and mother and Cinderella can ask the prince to banish her mom and stepsisters.4.No,Because they where very mean to cinderella and yeh-shen.

    I think Cinderella and Yeh-Shen are alike because they both are treated poorly.Cinderella
    and Yeh-Shen are also different.In Cinderella there is a happy ending for every one,while in Yeh-Shen the stepsister and stepmother get crusshed by falling rocks.

    6/3/2009 8:52:52 AM

    2. Integrating- they could have solved there problems like this,Yeh-shen could have sold some stuff and got money and bought a dress and other things to descise her, and cinderella could have done the same thing.

    6/3/2009 8:54:12 AM
  • Peyton

    The end forthe stepsisters are different in both stories.In Yeh-Shen the stepsister get crushed by falling rocks.In Cinderella the stepsisters live in the palace with Cinderella.

    The stories are alike because they both can not go to some thing that they want to. They are different because Cinderella gets married to a prince, and YHE-SHEN got married to a king.

    2. Cinderella could have told the prince the truth. Then he might have liked her for who she is. In Yeh-Shen she could have just came as her self. If she had enough courgae the king would probably love her
    4. I think in Yeh-Shen the sister and mom didn't get what they deserve. Because you should not die,but,be punished

    6/3/2009 9:03:50 AM
  • mckenzie c.

    The one who is more of a heroine is YHE-SHEN because she gave her only food to her fish when she was starving.

    #4.I think they shouldn't have pleted them with rocks. Insted they should make them madies for life.
    #2.They could have got a job and bought a dress.

    Cinderella is more of a heroin.Because even after what happened she let them in. Yeh-shen banashed her stepmother. cinderella forgave them.

    6/3/2009 9:15:39 AM
  • joseph

    They are alike. Because they live happly ever after. They both have stepmothers. They are diffrent because they are fron to different contenents. they are also different from their names.

    #4.I think the sister from Yeh-Shen deserved what she got because she never said sorry. Cinderella's sisters did.
    #2.They could have stole their sister's chlothes.
