II. Exemplary Essay: Describing Characters in a Fairy Tale (Approved)
Among the fairy tales I've heard and learned, the character that I admire the most is Cinderella from the fairy tale Cinderella.
The story of Cinderella is one that I've heard countless times. Each time I hear it, the image of a beautiful and kind-hearted girl, Cinderella, emerges in my mind. Cinderella, with her slender figure and gentle demeanor in her brown dress, always captivates me. In the story, she endures so much suffering and injustice, and the more I sympathize with Cinderella, the more I despise the stepmother and stepsisters, as they repeatedly plot against her, subjecting her to numerous hardships.
In my perception, Cinderella has a round, kindly face, with her deep black eyes sparkling like stars. Those eyes radiate kindness, compassion, and gentleness. Her lips are as red as velvet roses in the morning dew, with a hint of a gentle smile. Her gracefully arched eyebrows and jet-black teeth accentuate her slightly sun-kissed, robust complexion.
Her long hair is neatly tied up, carefully concealed under a black silk scarf. She has a petite figure, every step she takes is graceful and light. She wears a worn-out brown blouse and a black linen skirt, with a few skillfully patched spots, yet these imperfections do not diminish her inherent beauty. Most notably, whenever she speaks, her voice is melodious, as gentle as the morning breeze. Cinderella's delicate hands are calloused from her strenuous work.
Cinderella isn't just beautiful and gentle, but also incredibly kind, and hardworking. Even from a young age, she endured much hardship due to her mother's early passing, and her father's remarriage. She suffered the injustice and cruelty of her stepmother. The wicked stepmother forced her to do all the housework, tend to the rice fields, and hunt for crabs and snails. However, she never complained, always did all the work, even if it meant being exploited. Cinderella is truly diligent, kind-hearted, loving towards everyone, including animals.
She's also a filial daughter. Even after becoming a queen, she never forgets her father's death anniversary, returning home to burn incense for him and climb up to pick betel leaves because her father enjoyed them. Yet, out of jealousy, the stepmother and stepsisters chopped down the betel tree, causing her to fall to her death. Despite feeling pity for Cinderella, the hatred towards the wicked stepmother and stepsisters grew even stronger!
Nevertheless, Cinderella possesses an incredibly strong will to live. Despite being harmed by the stepmother and stepsisters time and time again, she always resurrects, each time in a different form, sometimes as a golden bird, sometimes as a tattered rag, sometimes as a peach blossom tree, ... Yet, in the end, she is reborn as a more beautiful Cinderella, enjoying complete happiness while the stepmother and stepsisters face deserved punishment.
The gentle, beautiful, and hardworking Cinderella represents honest and straightforward peasants. They are always diligent, hardworking, despite difficulties, despite being despised, they always strive, and in the end, they will surely find complete happiness. The image of Cinderella has been intertwined with the childhood of generations of Vietnamese people from ancient times to the present, and future generations will be the same.
