Dayron didn't know what to do. He was stuck behind a wall. He had been behind this wall for ages. Unsure whether or not anyone would come for him. Unsure if anyone even noticed he was gone. When the wall came down and he saw his mama there, he thought she was going to rescue him, even though it should have been the other way round. She should be the trapped Princess and he was the Hero who was going to save her. Instead, she had fell to the floor and didn't get back up. Dayron was confused. What was she doing?

His hands rose towards his throat quickly enough, his eyes wide and frightened. He seemed to have lost most of his strength when the girl left… He was only an adult, after all. Rose felt a little offended. Did they really think he could stand up to her all by himself? Rose, the leader of the True? She almost felt like laughing, but she felt like she would have to save it for later.

She used to take me for a ride up to the Mermaid because she was the one who would ask, "Is Alexander the Great still alive? And I would have to answer, "He lives and reigns, and conquers the world". "Let 's go to the me-maid", I asked very often from her. It was a small square with a fountain and a beautiful statue from white marble in the center with a shape of a mermaid. This was near the church of the Transfiguration. When we arrived at the creek, the stream that is at the height of Katsios’ Tavern, we stopped to listen to the frogs and we were laughing with their funny caws.

Many people can easily recognize the story of The Little Mermaid. After its international success through the Disney movie in 1989 children and adults all over the world were able to fantasize freely about this princess fairytale. However, what many people don’t know is that the debut of the movie The Little Mermaid is not the original plot of the story following Princess Ariel. Born in Denmark, Hans Christian Anderson wrote over 40 stories which have now greatly influences modern day disney films. The original literary piece written about a mermaid princess was written in 1836 which is said to be the inspiration behind the disney movie, The Little Mermaid portraying the character of a young mermaid circling through the challenges of love.

Diana, Princess of Wales, held the heart and attention of millions of people. She was known as the “ People's Princess” across her country and the world (Morton 10). Behind all the flashing lights and close doors, Princess Diana struggled with life. As part of the royal family, her life was not as easy going as people thought. Princess Diana changed the lives of thousands of people through her contributions and as an advocate for different charities.

When first reading “The Little Mermaid”, the reader is sure to notice the imagery painted by Anderson. He finds a way to make a place we see as dark and abysmal, the sea floor, seem bright, vibrant, and full of joy. One sentence Hans Christian Andersen writes, “The most wonderful trees and plants are growing down there, with stalks and leaves that bend so easily that they stir at the very slightest movement of the water, just as though they were alive” (216), perfectly exemplifies this imagery. It is also important to take note of how the imagery changes by location. In the part of the sea where the witch lives, the imagery evokes the feeling of gloom and loneliness that one would naturally expect from the sea floor. Above the surface of the ocean, in the human world, the author uses imagery that quite frankly blows the beauty of our world out of proportion. Andersen writes, “The whole sky had looked like gold, she said, and the clouds—well, she just couldn’t describe how beautiful they were as they sailed, all crimson and violet, over her head.” (218) This makes something we find trivial seem like something everyone must see before they die. While some may view this as odd, it is important to consider that the story centers around a mermaid who has never seen these things before.
