Book Review #11

I read a book named “The Little Mermaid” today. It is very famous story but I knew only the title. Because I have never watched this movie. It is famous as a Disney movie. I do not know why I have never watched it. So it was first time foe me to read the story. This book was very long for me but I could read it using dictionary. A little mermaid of a Disney movie’s name is Ariel. But a little mermaid of the book’s name was a little mermaid. She had no name. She lived in the castle in the sea. She had five sisters and she was the youngest of them. She was interested in the world above the waves. So she waited for a long time to be fifteenth. Because their father told then that they may rise above the waves if they reach fifteen, so she could hardly wait to be fifteen. When she was fifteen, she rose up the waves soon. She saw a prince and she fell in love with him. After she returned to the castle, she could not stop thinking of the prince. She wanted to be a human. So she decided to consult with sea witch. The sea witch gave her a potion. In exchange she lost her voice. If she drink the potion, she can never go back to the castle and if the prince doesn’t love her , she will disappeared into the ocean waves. But she drank it. I thought that she really loved him. Because she wanted to be a human. She drank it and she got two legs. She could see the prince but she could not talk to him anything. And he loved someone else and he was going to set sail and marry tomorrow. She was in major shock. But she could not come back to the castle. Finally, she disappeared into the ocean waves. It is very sad story. I felt sorry for her, because she lost her family, her house, her voice and her lover. She wanted to get two legs to only see the prince. But her love did not realize. I did not know that the Little Mermaid was so sad story like this. So I was surprised and shocked. It is very sad story. Thank you for your reading. (391words)
