So I'm in the process of writing an alternate Cinderalla story for my class. My idea is to take it from the Prince's view, rather than the Cinderalla view. Here are my thoughts so far
- Introduce the Prince
- Prince is going to a ball and really needs a date
- Meets very pretty girl, and invites her to the ball
- Prince is excited, and picks out nice suit, buys flowers etc.
- Goes to girls house to pick her up for the ball, and she's not there
-Prince meets the pretty girls sister, and asks her if she wants to go
- Sister agrees, and escorts the prince to the ball
- Prince thinks the girl is pretty, but really not as pretty as the sister
- They dance, have a great time, and Prince says that he really likes sister
- Says that although his first impression wasn't great, he really likes her, and enjoys her funniness, and being down to Earth
The biggest challenge for me is going to be the illustrations, as I'm a terrible artists. I may think about alternate ways to do this, like computer graphics or something. If you have suggestions, please let me know, as I'll be working on this over the course of the next month or so.

I think this is great Bryan. thinking about an alternative for Cinderella story was difficult for me and I was wondering what to do. I asked my kids for help, and my son said "mom this is a girl's book. why are you asking me?". so as the only male student in the class I am so glad to see that you found a different approach to tackle this story. I will be looking at what you are going to do with it. Good luck.
Hi Bryan. One suggestion is to really flush out the moment when the prince decides to ask the sister. Why did he decide to ask rather than wait. What about the sister led him to ask her to be his escort etc...
thanks
