I definitely liked reading this poem compared to most other poetry I have read simpley because It was easy to read and comprehend. A lot of the sarcasm was easy to catch and to interpret, which makes reading fun. Sexton also brought a lot of modern ideas to the story in her opening stanzas. That helps bring reality and truth to the moral lesson of the "Cinderella" story. I feel as if Sexton is also almost mocking or undermining the famous fairly tale because of the way she opens the poem in the first few stanzas. All in all it was a pretty cool version to the tale, very close to the original Grimm version, which shows a nice darker version of the tale.
