| Yeh-shen...A Cinderella Story from China | The fate of the stepsister and stepmother in Yeh-shen is very different than what happens to the 2 stepsisters in the Perrault variant of Cinderella. How did you feel about the ending in Yeh-shen? Did the stepsister and stepmother deserve their fate? Explain!! |  |
| P11 | The stepmother desereves it, but the stepsister doesn't.
She didn't do anything wrong,but not helping is sometimes the worst thing to do.
The stepmother did,
but the stepsister didn't!
| |
| P3 | Yes! the stepmother was greedy and mean not to let Yehshen go to the ball and the stepsister just stood like a rock and did not care.So both the stepmother and the stepsister deserved that fate.This is the first time I`ve seen a fairytale that does not have a happy ending.Is it the same with you? I think that makes it more interesting. | |
| P5 | Yes.
Becase her step mother and sister were mean to her and gave her the worst clothes.Plus they did not let her go to the festival and the step mother killed yeh-shen's fish. Also the sister did not do anything about it.I think she was scared of the step mother. If she weren't she would probably have stood up for her stepsister when the mother killed Yeh-shen's fish. Most of the time, someone would have done something about that because that was such a terrible thing to do. I think they deserved there fate. | |
| P1` | I feel like the ending was very interesting. Usually you don't die in an avalance of rocks. And I feel happy for Yeh-shen. I want to end like her, not like the stepmother and stepsister, though. Even though I think the stepmother did deserve her fate. She was so mean! I don't think she should have gone as far as killing Yeh-shen's fish. I think the stepsister sort of did deserve the fate too because she didn't do anything like the stepmother, but she didn't help Yeh-shen. Now that I'm done, I have to get reading another variant of Cinderella.Does anybody have any suggestions?
-P1 | |
| P2 | yes.
Because Yeh Shen's step mother was very mean to her and gave her the worst clothes. Plus her step mother killed her fish.(magic fish) They left her home from the festival to guard the fruit trees.The step mother deserved to be crushed but not really the step sister.The step sister was not on Yeh Shen or the step mother's side. She didn't stop the step mother from being so mean. | |
| P8 | No, because they didn't deserve death but they did deserve a bad consequence like jail or slavery. They didn't kill anyone but they did do damage to Cinderella by making her their slave. They also killed Yeh-shen's fish and that made her really sad. In the end they deserved not be be married to the king. | |
| P4 | I know that the stepmother is mean because... She stabbed yeh-shen's fish with a dagger !!! She was just very selfish!!!! She doesn't let yeh-shen go to the festival!!! I know I wouldn't like that! The stepmother bossed yeh-shen around!!! The stepsister just stands around and does nothing!!! | |
| P6 | I think they both deserve their fate.The step sister stands by but does not even care about her sister.While her mother is being mean that is why I think the step sister deserves her fate.I also think the step mother deserves her fate because she killed the fish knowing it was ya/shen friend and that is why I think they deserve their fate.
| |
| P7 | I think the stepmother and stepsister deserve their fate because the stepmother killed Yeh-shen's only friend, the fish. The stepmother didn't even let Yeh-shen wear any good clothes. Only worn out rags. When the festival came the stepmother would only let her own daughter go, but not Yeh-shen. I think the stepsister deserved it because she did not help Yeh-shen and that shows that she does not care and is a little selfish. That is why I think both of them deserve the fate. | |
| P10 | I think the stepmother and the stepsister deserved it. I think this because they were mean and when you're mean, mean comes back at you. They should have been more repsectful of her kind work instead of treating her so meanly. The stepmother should never have killed the fish because it was her pal. | |
| P9 | I think that no one deserves to die. But they do deserve a consequence. The stepsister should have a less bad consequence, but still should have one for standing by. The stepmother should go to prison. The stepsister should go somewhere where they treat her like Yeh-shen was treated. | |
| P8 | Dear P8-
The stepsister was not too bad~in my opinion,she didn't really deserve her fate.
But the stepmother did! Don't you agree? She was so mean!
Meanness has no good reward-only bad ones!
But doing nothing at all-it should not have such a bad one!

P11 | |
| P3 | well they did not deserve slavery - better to die,in my opinion.
| |
| P10 | Dear P11,
Actually, ,I think the stepmother deserved to die because she just stood around when she should of stopped her.R.I.P.
P10
| |
| P2 | Dear P10
Why do you think the stepsister deserves the fate? I don't really think the stepsister deserves the fate because she didn't stop the stepmother but she didn't do anything that helped the stepmother. She wasn't as guilty of treating her meanly.
From P2 | |
| P8 | dear, P5
In my opinion I think that only the stepother deserved her fate.
the step sister should only get some kind of slavery.
From,P8 | |
| P5 | Dear P11,
I disagree becase the stepmother did all of those mean things and the sister did not do anything about it!You would think she would do something about it but she did not! -P5
| |
| P1 | dear P9,
I respectfully disagree with you. Why do you think that the stepsister deserved to end like Yeh-shen? She only stood by and didn't help Yeh-shen. It doesn't make sense to me why the stepmother deserved to live still. She was so mean to Yeh-shen for killing her fish. I think she should be killed too.
From, P1 | |
| P9 | dear p10
i think it was almost a good thing that the fish got killed. because she used the magic fish bones to go to the ball.
From P9 | |
| N15 | Dear p11,
I agree with your answer!The stepsister didn't do anything,it was only the stepmother.

dear p5 I agree with you they did deserve their bad fate.
s21 | |
| The Korean Cinderella | Which main character, Cinderella, Yeh-shen or Pear Blossom, do you feel faced the most difficult life and circumstances? Explain and defend your reasoning! | |
| s21 to p3 | S21
Dear p3,
I totally don't agree with you because her mom killed her fish and her step sister helped!!!!! She didn't tell her mom to stop!
from
s21 | |
| S2 to P2 | S2 I think they deserve to have a punishment no death. | |
| S5 to P11 | I think you are right.BUT!Not helping is pretty much being mean. Think of yourself as her. Would'nt you be really mad?I would,but that's just me. | |
| s18 to P7 | dear p7 I think that the stepmother deserved the fate but the stepsister did not. | |
| s21 to n15 | s21
She did not stop the step mom from killing her fish!!! She could of stopped the step mom from killing the fish.
-s21 | |
| to p3 from s3 | Dear P3,
i disagree and I think they most certainly didn't think they deserve death only a punishment would be good enough. But I do agree it's the only fairytale that has a non-happy ending
_ S3 | |
| s8 too p1 | S8 I think the stepmother definitely deserved it. But the stepsister
did not. Still the stepsister did not do the right thing because
she did not help when Yeh-Shen's fish died.Though its just a fish
it was her best and only friend. | |
| N15 tfrom s21 | s21
yes they did!!! she didn't stop the step mom from killing the fish.
s21 | |
| s19 to P7 | s19 Dear p7 I think that they deserved death.But I did feel badly once I read it. | |
| s17 to p1 | I don't think the step-mom and step-sister deserved death but I think they should of had a very bad punishment. | |
| S20 to P10 | Dear P10,
I disagree with you because the Stepmother and Stepsister were mean but nobody diserves to die I think slavery would have been better.
from S20 | |
| s12 to P3 | s12 I disagree with you even though the stepmother and the stepsisters did some bad things to Yeh-shen they did not deserve to die. | |
| S16 to p3 | I totally agree that Yeh-Shen's step mom and step sisters deserved their fate.I think that they were too cruel to Yeh-Shen to deserve to live the rest of their lives! | |
| s11 to p5 | I disagree because I think the step sister did not deserve the fate because she did not do anything. | |
| s24 to p2 | I agree, Yeh-shen did get treated worse. But I think the step sister didn't deserve to get killed, but you're right because the mother did treat her harsh. | |
| P11 |
Definitely Yeh-Shen!
She faced the death of her fish and a meaner stepmother. But Pear Blossom was lazy! She sat down and cried instead of doing her chores.She didn't try to polish one grain of rice.She didn't try to fill up the pot of water once, or to pull up one weed. Insted, she sat down and cried. Cinderella never faced death, and her stepsisters didn't seem so mean. | |
| P2 | I think Yeh Shen had the hardest life because she had a VERY cruel step mother and she killed her MAGIC fish. And her magic fish fish was her only friend! (and pet). Plus, they wouldn`t let her go to the ball.
P2 | |
| P11 | Dear P10,
Interesting idea. If one of your friends were bullying someone and you didn't do anything, do you deserve to die? That is basically the idea in Yeh-Shen.
From P11 | |
| P10 | I think it was mean that in Yeh-shen the stepmother killed the fish which was her only and best friend that she had. Therefore Yehn-shen had the hardest life. | |
| P11 | Dear P5-
Interesting idea. If one of your best friends was bullying someone, do you deserve to die if you just stand around?
P11- | |
| P3 | I think Yeh-shen had a harder life. She couldn't even go to the ball if she did a chore. Pear Blossom was lazy and she never really tried to do the chores. Cinderella got a magical redemption without anything or anyone dying like Yeh-shen's fish. | |
| p9 | i think that Yeh-shen had the hardest life because her friend died
( only friend ) and she didn't get enough food | |
| p4 | I say Pear Blossom had the hardest life because she had to do all the chores. For instance...get the firewook, pull weeds. But Yerh-shen had an easy life because she only had to do 3 or 4 chores. Pear Blossom had to do 5 hard c hores. | |
| p6 | I think Yeh shen had the hardest life because her step mother left Yeh shen home from the festival. Her step mother killed her fish and pear blossum had all the animals to do everything for her.
Cinderella did not have to do anything because her fairy godmother did everything for her. That's why I think Yeh-shen had the hardest life.
| |
| P5 | I think Cinderella had the worst life because yeh-shen had the magic fish bones to help her.And P.bloosom had barely done a thing because she had all the magic animals.Cinderella had the fairy
godmother but she still had to do all the work. | |
| s9 to p11 | I agree with you because the stepsister did not do anything but the mother did everything so only the mother deserves it. The mother just stood around trying to find ways to get yeh shen in trouble. | |
| s19 to p1 | dear p1 I disagree that they did not deserve death but did deserve a bad punishment. | |
| to p3 from s17 |
I disagree with you, because the step-mother was mean
and the step-sister didn't do anything about it. Even if somebody is mean to you they shouldn't have death, I think slavery is better. | |
| p1 from s4 | Dear p1,
I also agree that the ending is interesting. It seems mysterious that the step- mother and step- sister got killed in an avalanche of rocks.

From, s4 | |
| s7 to p7 |
Dear p7 I disagree I think they deserve some sort of punishment but not death! Why do you think they deserve death?
s7
| |
| s20 to p2 | Dear p2,
I disagree with you because the step-sister was mean for not saying anything when the step-mom killed Yeh-shens fish! But slavery would have been better.
from s20 | |
| to p1 from s12 | S12 I agree with you the ending of Yeh-Shen was suprising and I also agree with you that Yeh-Shen should have a good life. | |
| To.P11 From. S14 | Dear.P11
I agree with you that the Mom deserved getting killed because she killed Yeh-Shen's fish. But then I disagree with you because the stepsister did not deserve getting killed because she did not do anything.
From.S14 | |
| s16 to p1 | I agree with you that Yeh- Shen's step sisters didn't deserve their fate but the step mother did.I also agree Yeh Shen's only friend was a fish, and when her step mother killed it, I bet that really broke Yeh-Shen's heart! I deferentially think that Yeh Shen's step mother deserved her fate! | |
| P11 | Dear S14,
But if your best friend was bulliing another kid and he/she killed their
pet and you just
didn't care do you
really deserve to die?
From P11 | |
| to p5 from s17 | I believe that the step-mother and step-sister shouldn't have died, because it's not right for someone to die if they just didn't treat someone meanly. So I think they should just get a very bad punishment. | |
| to p5 from s21 | Dear p5 I disagree with you .
yeh-Shen's Step-mom killed her fish,if your mom killed your only friend wouldn't you not like them?!?!?
FROM
s21 | |
| s20 to p10 | Dear p10,
I disagree with you because the stepmother was mean but the stepsister was scared of her mom and there is no reason for her to die and no matter how mean the stepmother was there was no reason for her to die. in fact no one should die, everyone should live as long as there supposed to. | |
| s11 top3 | Why would the stepsister deserve death if she did`nt do anything? | |
