Reading Notes Part B: The Little Mermaid Parts 4-6

The last half of the story cronicles the transition of the little mermaid into a human and goes into detail about how she would have to have the prince fall in love with her or she would die and turn into sea foam. She never manages to have the prince fall in love with her and so she is given a chance to return to a mermaid form as long as she kills the prince in his sleep. Because of her love for the prince, the little mermaid sacrifices herself instead of killing the prince which earns her the opportunity to earn an eternal soul as mermaids did not have eternal souls.

This story is so inspirational that I am going to write a short story for it that incorporates the ideas in the story. I feel inspired because the longing to be loved is something everyone experiences in their lifetime. I plan to write a story from this that might even just be a queer retelling for this class. It should be interesting and as always I plan a happy ending for my characters.
