Ella Enchanted

My favorite parts of Ella Enchanted are when Ella “defeats” the ogres. The first time she is able to not be charmed by them is in the carriage on the way to finishing school. Once she realizes what she must do, she takes immediate action and has everyone scream. Hattie, Ella, Olive, and the coachmen save themselves from the ogres because they are unable to hear the powerful and charming words of the ogres. The next time she encounters the ogres Ella is on her way to Uaaxee’s farm to find Lucinda in order to have her curse taken back. Ella tricks the ogres out of eating her by using their own ways of charming people. She encounters Char and his knights trying to capture the very ogres that have Ella under control. She then charms the ogres so they will be under the control of Char and his knights in order that Char might capture them. Once she does this she explains to Char how she has learned to “tame” the ogres.
