One of the most tragic parts of this story is the bond the little mermaid shares with her sisters comes to an abrupt end. In the beginning of the story, all of the sister shared a common bond of wanting to know what the land around them looked like. One of my favorite parts of this story is when each mermaid on her fifteenth birthday would look at the land. Each one would then come back down in the waters and tell everyone what they say. The best part about it was each of their birthdays was during different seasons, so they all saw different things. However, for the little mermaid, her adventure was much different because she saved the prince that she immediately fell in love with. She risked everything for him. The little mermaid even gambled with the idea of never seeing her sister, father, and grandmother never again just so she could be with the prince. But he did not marry her to give her an immortal soul. Even when her sisters tried to save her, she still chose the prince. This is what made the story of the little mermaid so sad. The little mermaid gave so much and ended up getting little in return. If you would to read the real story of The Little Mermaid, I would definitely encourage it. It's a really good read.
