Angela was a student of mine in the Spring 2010 semester. She did a great job in the class, and was inspired to send me her fun, modern version of "Snow White." I love it when students are inspired to do something beyond the required assignments. Thanks to Angela, who, yes, wants to go to law school.Once upon a time in the middle of the rural Midwest countryside, a former beauty queen sat bored to tears watching the rain drop on a dreary day.She recalled her own great success through modeling and pageantry, for she even once shot a television commercial which led to local fame.This woman once won a large silver crown, so large she could see her own reflection in the crest.She adored the crown so, and sought solace in its companionship.
One day, she asked the crown, “Tiara, tiara on my head, who is the most successful one of all?”
The Tiara replied: “You are! You are the most successful one of all!”
Nonetheless, realizing she was aging and her modeling career had passed, she felt it prudent to start a new chapter in her life.She thought to herself, “If I can no longer be a beauty, I shall use my own past beauty to create new beauty; therefore I wish to have a child who resembles me and her own beauty will bring her great success just as my own beauty has for me.”
Soon afterward she gave birth to a beautiful little girl who mirrored the mother’s features in miniature form.As the little girl grew she became more and more beautiful and she too followed in her mother’s footsteps, excelling in pageantry and modeling.
But one day, the girl came home and said to her mother, “All of my friends will soon be leaving me after high school graduation. They are all going off to college and I envy them so.”
The beauty queen chuckled and said, “but darling little girl, you are much too pretty to be bothered with such nonsense, such deep thought will only cause wrinkles!”The little girl, disappointed with her mother’s lack of understanding, stormed off to her usual reading place.The little girl always found great comfort in reading true crime and legal thriller books, a habit which embarrassed her mother dearly.
The mother turned to her crown and chanted, “Tiara tiara on my head, who is the most successful one of all?”And to that, the crown replied, “Your little girl will be; she will be the most successful of all!”This enraged the beauty queen so much that her face grimaced so extraordinarily that the stitches from a recent plastic surgery procedure began to unravel.The beauty queen knew she had to do something to stop this nonsense, so she sent her daughter far away from her estate and off into the city.While the beauty queen did wish for a successful daughter, she could not fathom letting her daughter’s beauty go to waste!“How ungrateful that daughter of mine is, for she is beautiful, perhaps more beautiful than I. Yet beauty only lasts for so long, why does she chose to waste it?”
The little girl was forced to flee into the city with no money, no home, and no food.But the little girl was smart; she had intelligence, wit, and ambition. She began working as a legal secretary for three attorneys who taught her everything she needed to know about the legal profession.She answered calls for them, greeted clients, balanced their books, and drafted their legal pleadings.They were forever grateful and in return enrolled the little girl in college.The little girl immediately excelled and showed great promise for her future.
But one day, the beauty queen visited the little girl.The little girl missed her mother so and was eager to tell her about all of her scholarly accomplishments.The beauty queen became enraged at her daughters desire for academic achievement and told her she would soon fail, and her success will be diminished and overshadowed.The beauty queen explained that all secrets unravel at some point in one’s life, and the beauty queen eagerly told the little girl that she was stricken with attention deficit disorder, and she was stupid and ditzy and that soon everyone will find out.The
only way for the little girl to keep her secret from getting out was to immediately quit school.
The next day, the little girl walked into the college registrar office.Tears streamed down her face so fiercely she could hardly see, when she bumped into a prince and fell to the ground.She must have hit her head on the ground, because the next thing she knew, she was being carried off to law school where she became an amazing attorney who did great things for many good people.
As for the beauty queen, she became so wrinkled and shriveled that she was often confused for a prune.Her former success was a distant memory, and she was no longer recognized for her one television commercial.Worst of all, she had no money or skills and had never worked a real job in her life.When her husband became ill, she lost everything and disappeared.It has been said that on the evening of the Miss America pageant the beauty queen can be spotted in a remote place in the country clutching her crown and rocking herself to sleep.
I think that is funny! I really like the idea about the beauty queen and her daughter going off to college. I like the idea where the queen tells her daughter that dreams dont come true (but actually I think most mothers try to live out their dreams through their daughters, but i get it). I like the very last part where she cluthes her crown. I think the only part that could be better is when she hit her head so hard she ended up as an amazing attorney (unless thats true about attorneys no offense). I really like the part where the beauty queen has nothing going for her because she only focused on using her looks to get what she wants. To me it represents a lot of the mothers that use their kids loooks for pride. -Miranda H.
I really enjoyed this modern version of “Snow White,” it had my attention the whole time. I feel that all too often, mothers become obsessed with their daughters’ beauty. They often enter them into countless beauty pageants, and teach their daughters early on that appearance is everything. I believe that some qualities and beliefs that you learn early in life stay with you for a long time, perhaps a lifetime. I enjoyed in this version of the tale how the girl prevailed with her intelligence and ambition. As odd as it seems, I feel that there are still many mothers in the world who are only concerned with their daughters’ looks and not the whole picture in life. Of course just about every mother wants a beautiful daughter, but they should also hope for one that is intelligent, strong, and independent, among other things! I think this version clearly portrays the idea that beauty and youth can only last for so long, and when they are gone women need to have other, more important things in their lives—an education, skills, loved ones, and independence. Kayla W.
This is a nice spin on Snow White. The usual fairy tales deal with Beauty and how beauty trumps the rest of anyone's characteristics. I feel that mothers can try to live through their children as the Beauty Queen in the tale is doing.You can see that in watching the TV Reality show " Toddlers and Tiaras," which cameras document child pageants and the relationships that ensue with family. Furthermore, this is a great example of how fame is temporary. That it is superficial, not material. I think that the Beauty Queen holds onto the tiara as a sign of beauty. That since she had won, she was still beautiful. Also, in Snow White, Snow White doesn't learn and become a lawyer. You generally see intelligence with people less attractive in fairy tales. This is a humorous tale of a girl who outsmarts her mother. I liked the ending...perhaps the beauty queen mother should have said "my precious.." after clutching her crown. -Amy F.
I really enjoyed this story. It was a cute idea with a lesson between the lines. The story reminded me of Toddlers and Tiaras. It is a show on TLC that features all of these little girls dressed up with spray tans, make up, and fake hair. It is creepy how old they look. In the little interviews with the girls they completely echo all of the things their mothers day in their interviews. Beauty is everything, appearance is everything, and winning that crown is everything. It is sad to think of what these spoiled, winning-hungry, innocent little girls will end up like, or where they will end up in life. It was refreshing to see this Snow White take a different route and reiterate that intelligence and determination will get you farther than beauty. Beauty will fade, but you will always have your brains and your accomplishments. It just shows the age old saying lives on, "Beauty is only skin deep." -Kelly H.
I think this was a great story that represents Modern Society today. Many girls are forced from a young age to become beauty queens , their families enroll them in beauty pagents and push and push them to win. I believe that this story does not only show that beauty lives within the mind and heart, but this story should also show that Beauty can have many defentions . It does not only represent what models and beauty queens think it represents.
This story is an interesting and funny take on a familiar fairy tale narrative. Although it’s set in today’s realm, one in which beauty sometimes takes precedence over intellect; plastic surgery and other cosmetic concerns make the story even more about the importance of youth. So much in fact that these issues are mocked without any envy of what can be possibly gained from appreciating such a thing. The mother while she may have good intentions for her daughter is undoubtedly selfish for her own desire to be appreciated. The daughter on the other hand has her own agenda. This however is refreshing, since her choice to pursue her own dreams turns out to be the safer bet. The text suggests that the mother herself is even aware of the fact that beauty does not reflect success- at least from her initial reaction to the word (success). When the tiara exclaims that the mother’s daughter “will be the most successful of all” the mother instead of associating beauty with success (thus being elated) goes into a rage. Of course this false sense of security seems to be alive and well in the mother; even she is wise enough to know that in the true sense of the word beauty plays little importance to how “success” is truly measured.
I really enjoyed the modernize version of “Snow White”. Overall, I thought it was funny, creative, and inspiring in every aspect. I like how it retells the original version of the fairy tale by using the crown, instead of the mirror as a symbol of power. The fairy tale counterbalances the relationship between the mother and daughter as being normal problem within femininity. The story shows that beauty is not only seen as an object or tool, but rather a force in which women can become independent away from their families. The daughter really comes out in the fairy tale by saying women are not just pretty, but intellectually wise in many ways. It almost seems as if the daughter whom is the fairest of all speaks more with her actions then with her appearances. For example, the daughter dreams of following her desires in going to school (college) instead of paying attention to her mother. I believe the daughter is very bold by making her own decisions because she is setting new paths for many generations. She does this by avoiding her physical appearances and making a difference in her life. Mary Cruz A.
I really enjoyed this spin on Snow White. I liked how the author made it more relatable to present day. It was whimsical with a lesson hidden between the lines. I think all too often mothers become obsessed with their children’s success that they lose sight of what’s important. In this story, the mother pays no attention to the fact that her daughter wants to be academically successful; she focuses on the beauty of her daughter and fantasizes about what “success” that beauty could bring her. Today, girls are so consumed with what the media tells them about how they should look that they become completely wrapped up in the idea of having the perfect image; so wrapped up that they sometimes put their life at risk. It was reassuring to see a different twist on this popular story; a twist that focuses on the idea of going for your dreams and rejecting the negative influence others can have on you in order to reach that ultimate goal. -Emily C.
I believe that this new generation fairy tale hits the nail on the head for the current times. Fairy tales always change with the days, what becomes most popular usually show the state of mind of those who purchase and read them. Beauty is still viewed as goodness in our day and age. Just look at the pageants. The women in these contests are viewed just as Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood in the Grimm’s version, beautiful, good, and not that smart. Such as Snow White fell dead for the three beautiful objects, women are willing to risk it all for plastic surgery. The mother in the tale accredited all her success to her beauty and lost it all when she got older. That also brings a question to mind, is it a really a happy ever after tale for the princesses with princes that fall over them for their beauty? What happens when they get older and lose the “beauty” of their youth?
I enjoyed reading this new version of "Snow White," it was very funny and it kept my attention the whole time. I think that some mothers, like Snow White's in this case, sometimes take advantage of the successes that their children have to gain their own prestige. It is sad to read that Snow Whites mother was so focused on wanting her daughter to be beautiful and successful that she did not appreciate desire that her daughter had for studding and becoming successful through college and her own ways. I believe the mother should be happy that she is not limiting herself to being beautifull and being remembered just for that, she is far more interested in following her desires of going to college and making a better feuture for herself. It is great to see that women today see way past beauty when they think of success and power. Yesenia C
This story is very modern and gives a better perspective of what modern life is more like. Now that women can accomplish more than they were able to back in the ages were women weren’t allowed to work and speak their minds. In this story this Snow White wants to take advantage of being a successful woman not only by being beautiful and basing herself on outer beauty and settling down with nothing but that. Although the mother in this story is the same character as in the original Snow White were the only thing that she cares about is outer beauty, the difference is that in this story she wants to pass on her good looks to her daughter and instead of seeing her as a threat sees her as a great representation of herself. The way the story ends with the mother’s misery is similar also as to that of the original version. Great story though very fresh and modern! Guadalupe G.
I really enjoyed reading this story. I think she did a good job of making it modern and more up to date. I also liked this story better because the snow white in this story isn’t naive. She would rather chase the things that will make her more successful not just beauty. I also liked it because today we have the impression that beauty brings power. Well in this story that is not true. In this story beauty is actually a weakness it seems and education is more powerful and she chose to chase that instead and it brought her more success than beauty. So this story made a really good point and said that power does not actually come from beauty, in this case it is getting an education and becoming successful that way. The fact that she still wanted her mother’s approval is realistic because every girl wants their mother to be proud of them; it’s just too bad that the mother couldn’t get past her selfish, beauty seeking ways. It serves her right to lose her beauty for that. Amanda F.
Many thanks to everyone who read my personal twist on "Snow white" and took the time to comment. Your compliments made my day! I hope that the message is inspiring and helps convey the fact that despite discouragement and negativity, dreams can still come true with hard work and perseverance. I'm happy to report that I have been admitted to a great law school and will be fulfilling my fairy tale beginning Fall 2011! Thanks again! ~ Angela Johnson
What a wonderful twist to the Snow White story. Angela's mother is blessed to have an extremely talented and hardworking daughter. Angela is the real deal. I'm so very proud to call Angela my friend! This is a woman to watch- great things will come her way.
This modern version of Snow White was very clever. I like how she incorporated herself by having Snow White intern at a law firm (since she eventually wants to get into law school). In the Grimm's version of Snow White, Snow White's character is beautiful but honestly quite dumb. The evil stepmother dresses up like an old hag and THREE TIMES tries to kill Snow White, who opens the door for her to come in EVERY time. If she had any common sense, you would think she would figure out not let her in the second time. By the third time she should have figured it out! This just goes to show that beauty isn't everything. Being well educated is much more important because if something does happen where you lose everything, you are able to get back up and do something productive with your life to be successful. Beauty is nice to have, but it’s not something that is going to get you anywhere in life. Having beauty is something you are born with, it’s not something you worked for. I feel that you can't feel completely proud of yourself for something you were born with and didn't work for. When you work for an education and succeed in your goals you feel good about yourself and feel accomplished. As I was watching Mrs. America this year, it seems like all the girls look the same. They all look fake with lots of make-up, similar bodies and faces. It is their talents and the way that they can answer questions that really sets them apart. By just going off of their beauty, I'd say that they all look similar and none of them strike me as the most beautiful. To have a competition like that there must be something else that sets them apart as the best candidate to win. Therefore even in a competition like Mrs. America, beauty isn't the most important factor.
I very much like this version of this Snow White. I think that it represents this era so well considering this era represents so much about looks. Although in a comment from up above, I do much agree. Mothers often live their dreams through their daughter’s success. I partly believe that because the era that some of our mothers but mostly grandmothers grew up in that they were so confined in the home, that they didn't have as much opportunity as we do to go outside of the world of raising kids and cooking to get a degree and live life. I think this version of the fairy tale teaches much more valuable lessons. Beauty is fun and can be a good thing but beauty alone does not get you very far with age. Once the outside beauty is gone, one should be able to depend on the inside beauty to get them through life.
I really enjoyed this post! The story was highly entertaining. I thought it was a great modern spin on an old fairy tale. I think that this student is a clever writer. I enjoyed how she incorporated law into this because she wanted to go to law school. I like how she wrote about three different times where the mother tried to ruin the daughters success. Stories like this bring new attention to fairy tales that people today can relate to. AA
