Loyalty, is a word that is hard to really accomplish. Most people would probably describe loyal as someone who is trustworthy and honest. I think that loyalty is a trait that is built on the principle of various characteristics such as, faithfulness, commitment, and fidelity. Being loyal is one of the most important things one could ask of a friend. Loyalty is something all best friends must have because it helps implement the base for their friendship. Without loyalty one could not trust the other and without trust then there is no friendship. Being loyal to a friend shows how much you value their friendship and is a very important thing so one must not be disloyal. For one simple mistake could mean the end of ones friendship. That is why one must consider all the factors before being disloyal. Also loyalty in a relationship (boyfriend/girlfriend) is also essential. Loyalty is one of the top things wanted in a relationship because it covers all the areas of honesty like fidelity. That means being honest with your partner and not cheating. I think loyalty is the most important. And I think this covers most of what it means.

Cinderella
Cinderella is a story that has been told throughout the years but in many ways has been adapted to fit our modern era. Or so we can see in one example Maid in Manhattan.
In this story there are many similarities to the universal cinderella story. One would be that Maritza is just a simple woman who cleans. She is poor (lower class) and has to go through several obstacles to achieve her purpose. Also another similarity would be that in the end she live happily ever after with her new husband (prince figure) and she becomes rich and famous.
Although there are many similarities with this story and the original cinderella story there are also many differences. One noticable difference would be that Maritza already has a son. It is very common to be a single mother in out modern times but back in the day it wasnt as commom unless you were a widow like the stepmother was. A second difference would be the fact that this story takes place in Manhattan while the original cinderella takes place during the Midieval times in some far away land (the fairy tale version that all kids know.)
With all these differences and similarities the story of cinderella still remains as we know it.
