The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes

90Sit with it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.

A story about a child with no house, and the house as the thing to be repaired.

The glance

Industry is the thin one.

After the credits

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Margery Meanwell has one shoe. The book does not treat that as charm. A rich man buys the pair, and the rest of the story is that reading and work can move a child out of the ditch.

It is a moral tale, and it is still a child's story. The score is for taking an orphan seriously.

The eight

Industry
9/10
Learning and labor are how she gets the second shoe, and then a life.
Household
9/10
The lack of a house is the problem. It is not a joke.
Piety
9/10
Virtue is the engine. A named creed is not.
Courage
9/10
She keeps at it without a parent to make her.
Republic
9/10
A neighborhood helps, and judges. The town is small.
Temperance
9/10
Want is not glamorized. The shoe is enough.
Truth
9/10
The moral is plain, and the story keeps it.
Stewardship
9/10
Meant to be read at night, by an older child to a younger one.

Cinderella

90Sit with it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.

The work and the test are worth keeping. The prize is a court, which is thinner than a house.

The glance

Industry is the thin one.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This is the old tale, not a studio picture. Cinderella is the one who works. Her name in the story is an insult for the ash she sleeps in. The ball is not the moral. The moral is that the house has been using her, and a true claim can be tested.

Do not teach a child that a party and a stranger are the rescue. Teach the two parts that hold: do the work, and do not pretend to be someone you are not when the test comes. The court at the end is a thinner reward than the story thinks.

The eight

Industry
9/10
She does the housework the others will not do. The work is why she is who she is.
Household
9/10
A dead mother, a cruel stepmother, sisters as a warning. The marriage is a rescue.
Piety
9/10
The godmother is wonder. The older telling still carries a mother's care, not a sermon.
Courage
9/10
She goes to the ball against the house that keeps her down.
Republic
9/10
The reward is a court, not a town. Rank is the prize.
Temperance
9/10
Midnight is a limit, and she keeps it.
Truth
9/10
The shoe fits one person. A claim is tested instead of announced.
Stewardship
9/10
In the older telling she forgives the sisters. A house is gained. It is not built.
