Compare and Contrast

Both of the stories started with once upon a time in the start. Also, both of the stories had a princess, prince, king, queen, and magical creatures. The stories contained a very good lesson for kids: Sleeping Beauty- to never give up, Cinderella- never treat anybody in a rude way. In the start of the stories, they started it off in a negative way because in Sleeping Beauty the king and queen did't find true happiness, in Cinderella, Cinderella's mom died. The novels had a happy ending with a prince and a princess (in marriage). Both of the stories happened long time ago because the setting looked medieval in each of the stories.

In Sleeping Beauty, they had skeletons and knights that are fighting each other. In Cinderella, there was no physical fighting or anything like that. The Sleeping Beauty story had hurting someone physically because the 13th fairy was mad so she attended to hurt Sleeping Beauty. But, in the Cinderella story, it had hurting someone emotionally because her step-sisters and step-mother were making fun of Cinderella. In Sleeping Beauty, a prince had to save the princess. But, in Cinderella, a prince put her missing shoe on the princess.
