The Author, Rafe Martin, of the Rough Faced Girl, uses the character traits loneliness, and mistreatment to demonstrate the moral of his story. The old spin on the story Cinderella tells about the young indian woman who is mistreated by her sister’s, as Rafe writes “The two older daughters were cruel and hard-hearted and they made their younger sister sit by the fire and feed the flames” (pg. 4). The sisters tried to make the rough faced girl feel miserable. They would always laugh and call her ugly, so she became very lonely. Then one day, the two sister decided they would walk through the village to marry the invisible being. The people of the village were fascinated with the girls, they said “surely they shall marry the invisible being”
