Little Mermaid

The fairy tale, the Little Mermaid (Den lille havfrue), was written in 1836. It was written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. It is about a young mermaid who is prepared to give up all she has to have an immortal soul and love from a prince. This story was translated into English by H. P. Paull [1872].

The Little Mermaid (http://www.ticketnest.com/theater-tickets/Little-Mermaid/index.php) lives with her father the Sea King, her grandmother, and her 5 elder sisters, at the bottom of the sea. According to the story, when a mermaid turns 15, she is permitted to swim to the surface and watch the world above. As the young mermaid’s sisters turn old enough, they each visit the surface. Each time, on of the elder sisters returns, the Little Mermaid listens eagerly to what they have seen, particularly their descriptions of human beings.

When the Little Mermaid turns 15, she goes to the surface. She sights a ship with a good-looking prince. She falls in love with him just by looking at him from afar. Next, a great storm arrives, and the prince almost drowns. However, the Little Mermaid rescues him. She waits until he is found by someone else, and the prince never gets to know who rescued him.

The prince and princess get married, and the Little Mermaid’s is disappointed. All that she thought about will not come to pass for her now. Also, she had sacrificed her beautiful voice, her home, and her family. The Little Mermaid’s sisters give her a knife. The Sea Witch gave them this knife in return for their hair. If the Little Mermaid kills the prince with the knife, she will turn into a mermaid again and gain everything back that she had given up earlier.

The Little Mermaid cannot kill the sleeping prince who is lying with his bride. When dawn breaks, she plunges into the sea. Her body becomes one with the sea foam. However, she does not cease to exist, and feels sun’s warmth. She becomes a daughter of the air, and will gain an eternal soul. However, gaining this soul was dependent on the prince. When 300 years go by, the Little Mermaid will have earned her soul and will ascend into the kingdom of God. This period can be cut short too.

The Little Mermaid Adaptations:

A French composer Germaine Tailleferre (of Les Six) wrote an opera version of The Little Mermaid in 3 acts [1957]. The Little Mermaid was telecast on French National Radio in 1959. The Soviet animated version of the Little Mermaid [Rusalochka] was released in 1968. The 1975 feature-length film called Anderusen Dowa Ningyo Hime (Andersen’s Story: The Mermaid Princess) was directed by Tomoharu Katsumata.

The Little Mermaid statue:

The statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen is placed in the Copenhagen harbor. It is a well-known symbol and a tourist attraction too. The rather small size of the statue is a surprise to first time tourists of this area.

How can I ask the new water park getting build near me to add a mermaid attraction?

So I make swim able mermaid tails. They are SO much fun to make and then swim in! A water park is getting build near me and all of my friends and I want to work there. My friends and I thought about wearing the mermaid tails at the entrance of the water park for an attraction, or even swim in a pool with visitors. But we don’t know how to ask the owners of the place. How can we ask them to do this?

Just send them a letter about ur thoughts or ideas to build the new water park.or better yet,just go directly to the manager and talk to him(all of ur friends who thought bout this,so u wont be embarassed being on ur own).and also add this,say that u want to work with them(obviously u will) and also attract ur friends to come and other ppl.hopefully they will take in ur ideas.and everybodys happy..=)
hopefully u will too!!
