Unit 2: Lesson 5 - Cinderella's Stepsisters Practice What is the function of freedom, according to the author? To free somebody else To free an entire society To ensure you, above all others, are free To live life exactly how you like, without worrying about consequences What does the author recommend NOT making choices based on? Personal goals Safety and security Childish dreams Other women’s support What is the meaning of the word emanate in this speech? Draw from Flow outward Absorb Deflect Which of these passages does NOT reflect the author’s view of what women are doing wrong? I am alarmed by the violence that women do to each other. I am alarmed by the willingness of women to enslave other women. I am alarmed by a growing absence of decency on the killing floor of professional women’s worlds. I am alarmed by the indecency of criticizing other women. Why did the author feel it was important to say that Cinderella’s stepsisters were not ugly, clumsy and stupid? Because they were in fact women with status and power Because in medieval times it didn’t matter what one looked like or how one acted Because beautiful women are automatically meaner to other women Because the prince would have chosen them Which passage shows why the author is “unsettled” by the story of Cinderella? There is, of course, a rather vague absent father and a nick-of-time prince with a foot fetish. It is essentially the story of a household - a world, if you please - of women gathered together and held together in order to abuse another woman. It is not a wholly medieval problem. It is quite a contemporary one. How crippling it must have been for those young girls to grow up with a mother, to watch and imitate that mother, enslaving another girl. Which passage sets up the analogy Morrison will use in her essay? Because it is Cinderella that I want to talk about; because it is Cinderella who causes me a feeling of urgency. What is unsettling about that fairy tale is that it is essentially the story of household—a world, if you please—of women gathered together and held together in order to abuse another woman. I am alarmed by the violence that women do to each other: professional violence, competitive violence, emotional violence. I am alarmed by the willingness of women to enslave other women. In your rainbow journey toward the realization of personal goals, don’t make choices based only on your security and your safety. Women’s rights is not only an abstraction, a cause; it is also a personal affair. It is not only about “us”; it is also about me and you. Just the two of us. Which passage does not directly develop Morrison’s thesis? I am suggesting that we pay as much attention to our nurturing sensibilities as to our ambition. I want not to ask you but to tell you not to participate in the oppression of your sisters. I am alarmed by the willingness of women to enslave other women. For contrary to recent adaptations, the stepsisters were not ugly, clumsy, stupid girls with outsize feet. The Grimm collection describes them as “beautiful and fair in appearance.” Morrison’s use of Cinderella to begin her discussion is an example of what literary technique? Imagery Analogy Mood Characterization Morrison’s use of Cinderella to begin her discussion is an example of what literary technique?
