The adaptation of the movie "Cinderella"

I would definitely choose the movie Cinderella, and this is because during the time is was first told, till now a days, the story has gone through a lot of changes and retold by many other people their way of their version. Not just being retold differently was changing, but also the movies were being shown a little different. The story had similar purposes to it, but the actions and items that they used now aways werent the same as the items that they told in a story decades ago. The first version of Cinderella, was about a servant girl who had lost her family and was now in the hands of her step mother who didnt love her. Therefore, made her work as a servant in order to keep her in the house of their family. She long to find true love and be taking away from the house and from her mean step mother and step sisters. She got soon found help from a fairy god mother who helped her with magic and took her to the ball where she met the prince. She was to leave at midnight and while she ran back, she lost her glass slipper. This slipper was the key for the prince to find her again by making every charming gir in the land where the slipper. And whoever fit the slipper, was Cinderella. The movie version now is played by Hilary Duff. Where the whole setting changes and characters. Made especially for teen. She lost her dad in an earthquake and was left to be her step mother and her two step sisters. She went to high school where she liked the most popular boy in school and there was a dance that she couldnt attend because her stepmother had her working at her restaurant with the help of her fellow co workers, she was able to get a dress and sneaked to dance. Where she met the boy of her dreams. She was to leave as soon as she can because of her step mother checking up on her at the restaurant. She lost her cellphone. Now, in this movie, the cell phone is the key to finding cinderella again, in this case the girl was name Sam. Of ocurse the boy didnt tell anyone what the girl lost, because it would be obvious that every girl would say they lost the cell phone. And of course the directer changed the item, because if it was a shoe of a certain size, there is going to be more than one girl with a certain size shoe than just one girl he met. So it seems like, over the years the story has been adapted the best way it can by the way the audience is now and the way movies are now a days made, up to date. Monarchy arent around as much now aways but connected them to a real life situation for teens is more up to date. This text or story is being made and remade over time as the culture change. That way we can connect to it better.
