List at least 3 similar elements between the Algonquin Cinderella & Yeh-Shen and the traditional Cinderella
1. All three versions of Cinderella involve a young woman who is mistreated or oppressed by her stepmother and stepsisters. The Algonquin Cinderella and Yeh-Shen both have a cruel stepmother and stepsisters, just like the traditional Cinderella.
2. In all three versions, the main character finds some form of magical help that allows her to attend a royal event. In the traditional Cinderella, it is her fairy godmother who helps her. In Yeh-Shen, it is a magical fish, and in the Algonquin Cinderella, it is her Spirit Guide who aids her.
3. Another common element is the use of a lost or missing item as a way for the prince to identify Cinderella. In the traditional Cinderella, it is the glass slipper that she leaves behind at the ball. In Yeh-Shen, it is a golden slipper, and in the Algonquin Cinderella, it is a fawn skin that she gives to the prince. The prince uses these items to search for the woman he met at the royal event.
