The Little Mermaid: I was so excited to read this book by Hans Christian Anderson because The Little Mermaid was my sister and I's favorite movie growing up. This story is about a sea king that lived deep in the depths of the ocean. Ariel, the youngest of 6 mermaid children was the most beautiful. She longed for a human soul and for the Prince she dreamed of having. When she finally encounters her prince, she has on no clothes, so she wraps herself in her long hair. When he asks her who she is, she realized she cannot speak. She is dumb and cannot sing anymore either. She began to love the Prince, but he saw her as a more of a child than a wife. Without marriage, she wouldn't get to keep her human soul.
