Here’s my side of the story, to all of you who were wondering. I swear I’m not a ‘villain’ or whatever they call it these days. I used to be a normal girl just like her, beautiful locks of hair that flowed perfectly under the water, I had these eyes that glowed and sparkled just like the way the sun sparkles through the water. Not to brag, but I was pure perfection; until, a new little mermaid was born and started to grow up to be everything but a crawfish. I grew strong with envy and jealously, then I began to wonder for help. I came across this myth that said this powerful sea creature could turn me more beautiful than the sunset, so I took up the offer. Let’s just keep this scenario short and say that the creature was real and the creature was a very good liar. Well, you guys all know how I ended up looking… like the mean ole purple witch. I can see where I went wrong, and became extremely selfish, I left a detail out though, I was an incredible singer and so was the little mermaid. She stole the lead signer spot from me in the annual Under the Sea Show and this spot was suppose to get me into the University of Starfish, well she got it instead. That’s why my voice sounds the way it does, the evil set monster stripped every good thing I had. Now that you know the truth about what really went down in the year days, but storyteller have a way of switching things around making someones who's innocent look like she’s an actual crawfish. Ariel didn’t know I turned into
Gender is a sociological idea, in which it is not based on biology. While there is some biological differences between the sexes, the “meaning” of being male or female is based on social norms. Like race, these “biological” differences provided a system of enabling inequality between the sexes. History offers many examples of the gender norms over time. Women, for centuries, are few as the homemakers and often viewed as intelligent. Despite living in the twentieth century with greater equality, one does not need to go far to see how society and media influence our perception of gender. Advertisements in various media persuade its audience to buying their products. However, the means of attracting and persuading the audience can have underlying messages. Even in entertainment for young girls these underlying messages are prevalent. One example is the popular film, The Little Mermaid, in which the main protagonist is a young female. The protagonist gave up her identity to satisfy her lover. Even traditional gender roles are at work; the film showed young girls that to be happy and successful one had to find a husband and must relinquished one’s identity (Wood 1994). The generalized perception of male and female are polar opposites. Males are viewed as masculine, strong, authoritative, powerful, and devoid of emotions. Females are viewed as beauty, fragile, nurturing, emotional and sole purpose is to please men. These ideas can lead to sexism, which can have negative effects on
Walt Disney once said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible,” and I guess he was right. Disney made films that made a wooden puppet into a real boy, a thief into a handsome, and a beast into a man. Disney created dreams for little kids of becoming royalty, but was that all they had in mind? Although Disney films may seem full of happy thoughts with true love’s kiss, but in reality they are just bibidi bodibi booed with a dash of pixie dust to hide the real truth behind the films.
All my life, I have been fascinated with the aquatic realm. It began with my adolescent admiration for the Little Mermaid, and flourished when I joined and became the captain of my swimming and water polo team at North Miami Beach Senior High School. Therefore, when glancing at vimbly, I automatically went to the tab of explore and active outdoor. Just how I adore sitting and spending time reading a book on a day of leisure, being able to devote a day out under the sun and having an adrenaline rush is what ends up being a memorable moment in my book. To my delight, there was a section solely for water sports. As I scrolled through the pages filled with various pastimes, my eyes focused on scuba diving. I am infatuated with the countless tales
Picture the beach, the golden sand and aqua water, the warm bright sun in the background, Imagine what is under the water, the aqua clear waters and the little fishes, but instead the ocean is full of nets capturing these harmless sharks. This is redicious to capture and kill these native Australian sharks. Shark culling has become the new issue for Australian media. Shark culling is not the answer for safer oceans.
When the infamous orca whale Tilikum attacked and killed trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010, the issue of whales in captivity was pushed into the limelight. Three years later, the film ‘Blackfish’ was released, which focuses on the mistreatment captive whales face and served as a catalyst for protests and boycotts of Seaworld by animal activists. Now, in 2016, Seaworld has announced the orcas they have now will be the last generation at their parks. Seaworld’s CEO has also met with the Humane Society president to come to an agreement; Seaworld would “[end] captive breeding, [phase] out circus-like killer whale shows, and [serve] sustainable seafood and other humanely raised meat” and “pledge $50 million to causes including the abolition of commercial
Bella Rath is a person you should definetly want to get to know, she has so many creative ideas, especially her favorite combination of eating rice with catchup. Have you ever tried that before? There is so much more to the beautiful Bella Rath than you would think. She has her own way of doing everything, and describes her feelings and herself very well. Also she appears to be a very confident young lady. I found this out when I asked her what the most embarrassing moment was in her life and her response was “ I do not hold onto to the embarrassing things, only the positive moments.”
Sharks are a fundamental aspect of Australian waters, but shark culling has rapidly decreased the numbers over the past few years. The government definitely should not adopt a policy on shark culling, as sharks are the cornerstone to the contribution of social, environmental, economic and political aspects of our nation. If governments adopt this policy on shark culling, it will undoubtedly have a deliberate impact on the food chain. Additionally, even killing small numbers of already-threatened sharks will rapidly increase extinction risks of sharks. To conclude, humans contribute to the killing of more deaths than the opposite action done from sharks.
Another swimming pioneer, Fredrick Cavill , helped further develop Trudgen’s stroke into an even faster stroke known as the front crawl (livestrong.com).
However, because childhood and adulthood never exist completely separate from the influence of one another, the sea kingdom of innocence and joy is tinged with glimpses into the adult domain – glimpses which grow in frequency and intensity of curiosity as the Little Mermaid grows older. The Little Mermaid has shaped her garden to look like the sun; the sun has connotations with the over-world as well as with “son” or man (Dahlerup). The statue of a young man in her garden verifies this semblance. Such indications of another world are not given birth on its own, but rather are spurred by the figure of the grandmother, who serves as both an otherworldly messenger, as well as an embodiment of the sea world. The grandmother acts as a mother figure to the mermaids, as a center and a sustainer of a child world; however, the twelve oysters on her tail shows her to be “a little too proud of her rank” and instantly places her as an adult with desires and manifestations of such desires that extend beyond the simplicity and ignorance of childhood (Andersen 218). The grandmother’s stories and descriptions of an ulterior reality power both imagination and curiosity – and the Little Mermaid longs for the day she is “old enough” to give tangible form to her

I admit that in the past, I've been a nasty. They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch, but I promise all I wanted to do was help Ariel when she came to me. Her story begins when she discovers a cavern filled with trinkets from the human world. Over time, Ariel becomes fascinated with life on earth. She eventually starts disobeying her father by visiting the surface to watch the humans go about their days. One day, on one of her visits to the surface, a Prince celebrating his birthday on his vessel caught Ariel’s attention. He was breathtaking; the little mermaid couldn't keep her eyes off him. She knew they were destined to be together.

And failure is no failure at all - you've still had hours of peaceful, glorious communion with the mother of nature, the mysterious ocean.
