3. Fanny's Dream

Sis. Steadman read us a great book. I know that it's a children's book, but at the same time it gives a good meaning. It's a bit of a spoof off of the original Cinderella, and I'm not going to deny that I once believed in a Fairy Godmother, and that one day my Prince Charming was going to come. Cinderella did fill my head with dreams and hopes of the chance of being a princess and living a castle. I don't have any evil stepmothers or stepsisters. Just normal sisters and a loving mom and dad, and they even bought me the movie to watch with my little sister. After the movie was over we would sing and dance and dream about the day when we would be carted off to live in a castle. In Fanny's Dream, it was more realistic. The things that happened to Fanny would be more likely happen and it showed that young girls didn't need a Fairy Godmother or someone to transform their lives. It would be more likely that young girls know that they can marry someone that was their friend and still have a life, even though it might not be a in glamorous castle or with the most handsome prince. Though it's still a dream to live in a giant castle, a nice house would do just fine for me.
