The Cinderella Beauty Pageant Dictator's Shoes Tell the Future
A few thought provokers for Shoe and Marriage. Feel free to comment in class tonight or on here if we don't get to it:
1. So does anyone else see the correlation between the first part of Shoe and Marriage to Cinderella? Yeah, there are some differences, but the idea's the same.
2. Would any of you have banned Miss Texas for being pushy in a beauty pageant? I thought everyone in a pageant was that way - except for Elizabeth ;-)
3. Would you want shoes from everyone your spouse/significant other killed? And what if he/she killed everyone who checked you out? Would there be anyone left on earth?
4. And what's with that fortune-teller? Shoes?!?!?
Discuss.

I just assumed that the first part was supposed to be the Cinderella story. Kind of like all the other versions had just candy coated it and this was what actually happened. I really liked the fact that the fortune teller used shoes. If you really think of it, the idea of reading palms and crystal balls is just as absurd, just more used. Why not shoes? Or panties? Or anything else? I didn't know if we as readers were supposed to assume that she could actually see something in them, or if she says the same to everybody. Both ways of seeing it are pretty interesting.
