In Karol Kelley’s, “Pretty Woman: A Modern Cinderella,” she informs the readers about the comparison of women’s roles in society to how they are portrayed in fairy tales, and persuades you to believe that in the fairy tales the male gender dominates the female gender in the aspects of power and wealth. Kelley explains in her article that women are somewhat brought down in fairy tales. Ruth Bottigheimer, the author of Grimms Bad Girls and Bold Boys, agrees with Kelley by stating, “fairy tales are not beneficial to women” (Behrens and Rosen, 649). In both Pretty Woman, and Cinderella, the females are being treated harshly, and in turn are rescued at the end of the story by a handsome prince. Along with

In my opinion, the reader should gain much information from an informative article like Kelley’s, “Pretty Woman: A Modern Cinderella”. Kelley’s article contains useful, significant information. To me, useful, significant information is an aspect in which Kelley explains how the male sex is ranked higher in fairy tales, “In both Cinderella and Pretty Woman, the male sex is ranked higher in wealth, occupation, and status than the female sex” (Behrens and Rosen, 650). How many people would actually be thinking this while watching either of these films? However, I myself, am only worried about whether or not the woman is going to end up with the handsome prince when I watch a fairy tale or love story. Half the time, I’m not worried about the prince, or male aspect of the story.

Behrens and Rosen explain that in articles that inform, the reader must identify the significance and whether or not the information is of importance to them, or particularly someone else (Behrens and Rosen, 46). Kelley’s article made a difference to me, because when I watch a love story (movie), from now on I will probably be thinking, “does this relate to fairy tales in any way?”

Behrens and Rosen explain that oversimplification in a persuasive article contains an easy solution to a problem by failing to mention important information (Behrens and Rosen, 53). Besides significance in her article, I think Kelley oversimplifies her information by not telling you that Pretty Woman is rated “R”(The Internet Movie Database). She does let you know about the openness of sex in the movie, “Most scenes are erotic” (Behrens and Rosen,
