Sarah: I really enjoyed this post and thought that your introduction was a very creative approach at examining the lives of royalty. One of the best things about the intro is the pacing that it follows; I felt curious about how the next paragraph would unfold as I read on, and was struck by how the journalistic tone of the writing gave it a sense of urgency while also sort of lampooning the foibles of the aristocracy.
One thing I did notice that might make the post even better was that the image at the top of the page could be changed to reflect both the paparazzi AND the royals. The crown is good, but I feel like including the Insider in the image is important, too. Just a thought, but maybe it's worth considering.
Overall, I appreciated the perspective of this post and thought it as nicely creative. I look forward to reading your next posts!
Greetings Sarah! I really liked reading this story. It was such a great idea to make the well-known fairy tale figures idolized into the way that celebrities are now; I can picture the paparazzi capturing their every movement now. It read very much like I would expect an about section to be on an entertainment website like itself. The paragraphs had a very smooth flow that made it easy to follow without missing any details.
I was a little curious about why you only mentioned Cinderella in the final paragraph. If the final paragraph is a teaser for a story that is going to be about her, I would recommend adding the other characters in there so we can know what to expect. It could help lay the framework for everything to come. This was still such a great story to read. I can’t wait to read it in its entirety!
Hey, Sarah! I really enjoyed your whole idea for your Storybook. I've always had a fascination with royalty, particularly Prince William and Kate, so it made me so happy seeing what you decided to do with your project. The photos throughout your Storybook fit perfectly, and the one you chose for the introduction made me laugh because of how clever it was. The way you broke up your paragraphs throughout both the introduction and the story was perfect. I wasn’t overwhelmed by bulky paragraphs, nor did I feel like I was reading from a list. Your story had so much detail in it, which I loved! The part about the sighting of Cinderella was so amusing. You write like a true tabloid writer! I think the only thing that would maybe make this even better would be to put the picture in the middle of the story as opposed to the end, that way the story is broken up with something fun to look at. Overall, wonderful job!
This is a very clever idea, kind of like in Shrek (3?) when all the fairy tale characters were arriving and they were doing like an E News broadcast. Anyway, not the same, but it reminded me of that scene for some reason :) It is also reminiscent of our obsession with the true royals in England now. That poor girl can’t cough without someone worrying about that baby. It would be nice to never have to work another day in your life, but I don’t think I could trade my privacy for all of that. Poor Cinderella, even after being a princess, she just can’t stop cleaning. I wonder if she abuses her maids, screaming at them that they are not doing it right and then gets down on the floor in her high dollar dresses and starts scrubbing the floor. Talk about a hot mess! I read the original Cinderella story from Grimm as my extra reading. I had no idea that the original was that gross and gory. The writing was good and the design was great. I love a clean crisp website :)
Hello, Sarah! I really enjoyed reading your storybook. It was very convincing as an online tabloid or gossip mill. The tone was that of a fast-talking, gossip-spilling daytime TV host or entertainment news show host (like E! News or maybe even TMZ). Your introduction was spot on! You had me hooked with the juicy tidbits you promised. I couldn't help wanting to know about the Royals' dirty laundry. I had to know what Cinderella was buying at the market that was so shocking. I had worse in mind than some cleaning supplies and slippers, but headlines are supposed to make you think outrageous things to get you to peek inside at the story. The design of your site leaves a bit to be desired, maybe some flashy colors or something to really catch the eye, but as it stands now it is uncluttered and clean-looking and there's certainly nothing wrong with that (in fact, it can be preferable to real news websites that can be very overwhelming and cluttered). All-in-all, I think you did a wonderful job and I can't wait to read more (maybe you could leave some teasers at the end of each story for the next one, just a thought).
Hey, Sarah! I really like the cover page for the story – it’s beautiful and really sets the tone for a magical ever after land. I love the way you started the Cinderella story – I read it in the “Princess Diaries” voice for the newscaster who was following around that princess. I would encourage you to find a different way of saying “he informed the informant” because that seems rather redundant. Also, there was a typo – you wrote “he will not giver her” rather than “he will not give her.” I appreciated the fact that you started off with a story that everyone knows and (most) love, and I liked seeing the commentary you added to such a well-known story. The picture was nice, but I didn’t really like all the blood and toes (personal preference). Maybe a more beautiful or positive Cinderella-type picture might do some good since you’re talking about Cinderella and not her stepsisters who cut off toes and heels for the prince. Great job overall!
Hey Sarah. I like how you set up your storybook within the introduction. It is interesting that you are making your project like a "gossip news paper" or magazine coverage. It is definitely a cool take on storytelling and will be cool to see how your entire project turns out. Your first story, "Cinderella," was very well written. There was excellent flow to the story and I never stopped due to inconsistent writing. So great job on that! The content is also great. The story was not boring and it was interesting that you revealed the "true" cinderella by describing that her life is not as glamorous as it appears. This is a great start to your storybook and keep up the good work!
Oh I love how you set up your storybook! It reminds me so much of Gossip Girl! I just like how it feels like you are being let in on a big secret. It's so cool and makes it so much fun to read! I was so excited about your Cinderella story. I love that the story was broken up into little sections almost. How you told Cinderella's story based off of the items she bought at the store, so very creative. It also really added to the suspense I thought because I was constantly wanting to know what came next.
My piece of advice would be to try to vary your sentence structure a little more, and to really focus on using good transition words and making your story flow better. It was so great and fun to read, but parts felt a little bit choppy. Focusing on transitions and variations in structure could help with that and make the story just a little easier to follow.
Hi Sarah! I love your storybook!! It is so creative!! I love that you are making your story into something like a gossip column or gossip magazine. I love dramas like this! It kind of reminds me of Gossip Girl or One Tree Hill. Your introduction is very well written! It caught my attention and kept me wanting to read more. I like how you added questions in the middle of it. It really makes the audience more interested. I also really like how you hinted at what would be coming up in Cinderella's story. It makes the audience curious to see what she bought at the market and why it's such a big deal. Great job! I can't wait to read more of your stories!
Hi Sarah! That was a great gossip piece about Cinderella. You really were able to make it seem exactly like a celebrity gossip tabloid. I loved how you even included that she was caught purchasing some of those lowly household cleaning products. I also really liked how you gave a little more information about what happened to her cantankerous step-sisters; they suffered some pretty gruesome consequence all from their own doing. I really liked that they ended up having a bad ending. I really liked that you had a lot of content for the story too. You were able to really develop the characters and the plot by having a great amount of text. You had a really good way of keeping me engaged in the story by asking questions as well. This made me wonder what was going to come next for the princess. I can’t wait to read more of your stories!
When I came to your blog I had no idea what I was in for. What a fun story you have come up with. It was super fun to read and pretty funny too. It seems like one of those E! network talk shows where they report about any and everything celebrities have done that day. I also really like how it’s written with such modern language. Some of the stories I’ve retold sound a little bit dated just because of some of the terminology I used but you did a really great job making this read like something that could actually be published. Your story was very unique and I look forward to reading what’s next. I feel like at the end it should say, “Stay tuned for next week when we discuss (fill in the blank). Not saying it should actually say that just sounds like that’s what should happen. Anyways, great job this week!
Hey Sarah! Wow, I never knew that the real story of Cinderella was so dark and a bit gory! When I first read your story I was so thrown off because I didn’t know all that gory stuff was in the original story. The step sisters cutting their feet to fit the glass shoe and having their eyes poked out by pigeons, it is so different from watching the Disney movie for sure. Anyways, I love the theme of your Storybook! It is very unique, creative and you will be able to have many stories to go off of. In this story, I liked the tone you used, I felt like I was reading E News. The whole time I was reading, I would chuckle at the small comments like “Cindy’s OCD problem” and “talk about, ouch!” I liked how you stuck with the original story but you just put it into your own words so it could fit the story reporting you were going for.
Hi Sarah, what a great storybook! I am so fascinated with the real truths that are going to come out of "Happily Ever After." That is also a great name for a country by the way. I immediately fall in love with stories that are not always happily ever after. I thought that was really creative. I was not expecting Cinderella at all to have an OCD problem. I thought that was really cool how you incorporated her original story into her today’s marital problems with prince charming. It was also quite funny. I also like how you incorporated Belle's diary in the next chapter of your storybook. I thought it was really cool that you added excerpts from the diary and I also like to note that you choice of pictures are pretty nice. Every single one is perfectly places and fits each story. Job well done! I plan to read further!
Hi Sarah! I really love the title of your storybook. It super creative! I also liked how you depicting Cinderella in a different perspective. I did not expect that to happen. I like that incorporated OCD as it is a major issue in our world. Your writing is very well-written and enjoyable to read. You did a great job putting in good detail that was easy to connect with. Overall, I think you hit it right on the nail so great job.
I love the way you opened up this story. You remained very much like a news reporter which kept up the pace of reading and reminded me of the Princess Diaries news reporter. I may or may not have read this story in her voice. Wow – you were so creative with the diary entries (great job writing them in a different font to convey the idea of the journal) and the fact that Belle had sisters. I love how you explained that the sisters were the reason she was late in returning to the Beast – that has always been a thought about why she was, so I like now having an explanation for it. It’s a neat idea to throw in a fairy there as well since she stood up for Beauty. Anyways, I love this story – keep up the good work. The picture is a perfect touch as well.
Hi Sarah! First of all, this story fits the theme of your storybook so well. I really enjoyed reading it and thought that the "journal entries" were a nice touch, and that changing the font gave it an added effect of creating a separate voice for Belle.
I never knew that the evil step sisters were turned into stone! It's definitely not something Disney would be likely to include, but I'm glad you've added it here (and creatively, at that).
Your narration here is spot-on. It's cool how you adopt a paparazzi-style discussion of the events in Belle's life, using the utmost detail while moving the story along quite nicely. I liked how you achieved this narrative voice.
The only thing I noticed that could be altered is that in the third-to-last paragraph, "Beast" is uncapitalized in one of the sentences, but capitalized in all the rest.
I was happy to see that I was in your group for commenting again because I liked reading your Storybook the last time I got the chance! You've added some great material since I last poked around your project. First of all, I was super happy to see that the first two articles were over Cinderella and Belle. They are my two favorite princesses! I also like the images you chose to go along with those articles. As far as the stories themselves, I thought they were great! You write with such wit and humor. The part about Cinderella buying "questionable items" was hilarious. Your attention to details like that is what makes your writing really stand out. Writing about Cinderella’s background the way that you did was a very clever move, because it helped me relate to the character. Seriously, this could be something out of Vogue. I buy magazines and actually read the articles, and this sounds like something they would write about like, Cara Delevingne, only slightly more catty. Keep up the great work!
Your storybook caught my interest from the beginning because I liked the title. Insider to the Royals? Who wouldn't want to learn about that. I thought that this concept for a project was clever.
I like the layout of your storybook. Some people in this class choose an image background that is too busy and distracting. I like that yours looks clean and is easy to navigate and read. The pictures you included throughout your storybook were nice as well.
I think that you did a good job with the organization of your paragraphs. Also, your sentences flowed nicely. You are a talented writer. I liked the description of a 'balmy Sunday afternoon in Happily Ever After". I enjoyed that you chose to turn the evil sisters to stone. I wish that would have happened in the original story. They deserve it for how they treat Cinderella.
Overall, great job. I look forward to reading more of your stories in the upcoming weeks!
Hey Sarah, I am reviewing your storybook as my extra credit this week. Your homepage is extremely bright. I would suggest adding some shading to it. Other than that it looks great the picture you have chose is nice. I liked the concept of your storybook. I read the Snow White story. I think you have found a way to tell the readers a familiar story but put an interesting twist on it. The picture in the middle of the page made me laugh. You have done a great job of remaining true to the original and have captured the characters quite well. I did not notice any gram errors so that is nice. Over all I think you have done a great job here on your storybook. It will be interesting to read the other stories and see if they are just as entertaining as this one. Good Job
Hi, Sarah! I read your storybook as part of the extra credit commenting for this week. I'm from the Indian Epics class, so it was really fun to read some of the Myth and Folklore stories from your storybook. You have a really interesting approach to the stories, telling them as part of a gossip column. I think it was a really good decision to take such a unique direction with them because they are stories we are all already familiar with to some degree. I liked how you were able to use your theme to really highlight the differences in the versions of the stories you tell from the ones most of us heard growing up. For example, the bird seed and the small shoes are part of Cinderella's shady past. That's super creative. I know I've seen the Disney versions of these stories more than once (many more times than once), and so it's really interesting to read these varied versions. Nice job, Sarah!
