Little Women

“The Little Mermaid” was originally a fairy tale written in 1837 by Hans Christian Andersen that portrayed a young mermaid that faces the tribulations that comes with growing up and showcased her struggle to obtain what she wants most in life. Since then, Andersen’s story has inspired several movie adaptations, once of which being “The Little Mermaid” produced by Disney in 1989. In both the movie and book, similar archetypes between characters can be examined, however the mermaid’s ultimate fate…

On August 6, 1945, in response to World War II and Japan’s vicious attacks on the U.S., the United States launched the atomic bomb “Little Boy” on the city of Hiroshima, Japan. 80,000 people died, and sixty percent of the city was destroyed. Three days later, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, in which killed 70,000 people instantaneously and many more in the following weeks. These atomic bombs resulted in pure destruction and chaos for Japan and its people. Although the atomic bombs…

Andersen wrote the orignal version of “The Little Mermaid”. It is a very dark and gruesome tale. However, the Grimm’s version of “The Little Mermaid” which was written only a few short years after Andersen’s version was published, is very similar. Both of the stories follow the same plot line, and many of the same things happen each story. The two stories have very few differences. There are very few differences between the two versions of “The Little Mermaid”. One thing that differentiate the…

“fantasy” and “fairy tales being unattainable”. Fairy tales, as intended, were supposed to echo real life, and be grounded enough that people could relate to them or take something away from them. Take, for example, the Hans Christian Anderson tale The Little Mermaid. In the original story, the protagonist makes the choice to exchange her voice for legs. She then proceeds to have her tongue removed out of her mouth…

This is the most valuable to me because it is honestly what keeps me going, it is why I do what I do. I know that when I work with the little kids, and everything I do to prepare anything for them could automatically change their futures. For example a couple weeks ago I was planning my message that I was going to give in preschool chapel. I was thinking how are kids going to understand…

there is a strikingly similar amount of violence and unhappiness within Hans Christian Anderson’s fairytale “The Little Mermaid” and Disney’s reimagining of the same story. At the same time, both fairytales and their reimagining’s are supposed to have a clear message, usually regarding some kind of moral value. Unlike the similar happenings of violence in the two versions of “The Little Mermaid” we are discussing, the morals of the two stories are vastly different. In this paper, I will be…

There were many factors that gave the United States the upper hand in World War 2. One of the biggest ones was the Manhattan Project, which was the program that developed the first atomic bomb that began in 1939. But what is the Manhattan Project? Who was involved? Where and when did they actually use a perfected version of the Atom bomb and what was the aftermath? Though some of this may have been lost in history by the brilliant minds behind the project, we do know some very important…

The memories that I have of him are so detailed, I can remember even the little things. That is why in Brian Doyle’s essay “His Last Game,” I could understand what he meant when, “There’s so much to love, my brother added. All the little things.” When, Doyle mentions “All the little things” he means all the memories that he had with his brother, even the most funny, ridiculous memories. Furthermore, I could remember the little things with my abuelito. Like when it was New Years and I was playing…
