The first and most obvious is the cruel stepmother.
Oh, and the handsome prince!
And at least one step-sister who is not fond of Cinder.
And the fact that cyborgs are considered sub-human, much like servants. This is a nice coincidence that we started this book now; several of the grade levels at my elementary are in the middle of their folk/fairy tale/ fable units. Can't wait to share some of the details with my inclusion class!
Chris, that's a very good point. The whole 'lower class citizen' thing is very strong and parallels the fairy tale quite nicely.
The cyborg foot compared to the Cinderella slipper.
