CINDERELLA
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step
mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella
very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as
4|Learning Material

Monday, 109-110
scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two
step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many
handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son was going
to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses
they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella
could not help crying after they had left. “Why are you crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She
looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to
the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother, “you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking,
uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a
coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand,
and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now,
Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful
coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s
son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she could.
In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted
the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter
how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the
slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were
married and live happily ever after.

6) Students listen to explanation of generic structure, language features, and question and
answer related to the story from the teacher.
Analysis of the Generic Structure:
Orientation: it means to introduce the participants or the characters of the story with
the time and place set. Orientation actually exists in every text type though it has
different term. In this story, the first paragraph is clearly seen to introduce the
participants of the Cinderella Story. They were Cinderella herself as the main character
of the story, her step mother which treated Cinderella badly, and her steps sister who
supported her mother to make Cinderella was treated very badly. Cinderella was
introduced as a hero in this story. She struggled against the bad treatment from her step
mother and sisters.
Complication: it is such the crisis of the story. If there is not the crisis, the story is not a
narrative text. In a long story, the complication appears in several situations. It means
that some time there is more than one complication. In this Cinderella story, we can see
clearly
that
there
are
Major
Complication
and
Minor
Complication.
The second paragraph is the major complication of this Cinderella story. Cinderella got
bad treatment from her stepmother. It is the bad crisis which drives into several minor
complications which Cinderella has to overcome.
Resolution: it is the final series of the events which happen in the story. The resolution
can be good or bad. The point is that it has been accomplished by the characters. Like
complication,
there
are
Major
Resolution
and
Minor
Resolution.
In the last paragraph, it is said that finally Cinderella lived happily. It is the happy
resolution of the bad treatment.
Language Features:

Using past tense: was, named, lived, etc

The use of temporal conjunction : Once upon a time

Focus on specific usually individualized participants: Cinderella
