So I'm doing a short story. Now I need to find one. I was thinking it would be cool to do it on a Disney story, Aladin or Peter Pan, or maybe an alternate version of them. But I'm not sure how I could interpret them with one of the literary themes, never mind the fact that most of those books are written with a single sentence on a page. I found some interesting thing's while researching though, including short stories by people, just simply posted online on a short fiction blog.
Day 2:Over the weekend I found a story to write it on. The Little Mermaid, the original, not the sweet, happy ending Disney interpretation. It is written by Hans Christian Andersen, and the original name is Den lille Havfrue (not English, it's been translated.) It's very interesting, and of the seven R-rated original Disney stories I found, it seems to be the least gruesome. I'll post a link to both "The Little Mermaid" and the website listing all seven R-rated Disney stories at the end of this blog.
Believe me, it's not the story we all know and love- Flounder isn't even mentioned!
Day Three:
Well, since blogs are due tomorrow, I'll just wrap this one up. The project so far is extremely difficult. I've gotten as far as writing the summary (the second paragraph) but I have no idea what to write the other six paragraphs on! I have all the feminist related parts marked in the story, but I do not know how to relate the story to feminism in an essay. Well, wish me luck!
PS. I have no idea how many comments I have done.... I may end up randomly commenting on blogs.
