                    RESPONSETO THE ARGUMENT

Ivan wrote a really good argument to me, he gave me some useful suggestions about the tense I should use and some spelling errors. He also stated some reasons why “first blood” can not be a type of Cinderella story. I don’t agree with that. I insist that the film “First Blood” is a type of Cinderella story.

Ivan says that Cinderella change her social standard to a higher class, which Rambo in the film doesn’t. I argee with that. But Rambo doesn’t fit into the society at first, after the transition, Rambo gets rid of his problems and begins to live like a normal person. It’s also an improvement for Rambo, which is same as traditional Cinderella story.

What’s more, Ivan says the helpers in the traditional Cinderella story give Cinderella great help and have some magic powers, but the helper in the film “First Blood” doesn’t have, which I think are right. But in my opinion, helper is a person who helps the hero make the transition happens. Rambo’s former commander who is the helper in the film persuades Rambo give s up fighting with the police and lives like a normal citizen. Without his help, Rambo can’t make this transition happens by himself. So the film “first Blood” is a type of Cinderella story.
