i'm am so screwed for ext english. hahaha...
i'm only half way through my book. though i do know what happens, it's still kinda annoying.
i have almost no motivation to finish it. hmm... it's a good book, but eh...
i was thinking back to something that mr short mentioned before.
about the original fairytales?
"if you want blood and gore, look no further than the original fairytales."
well, guess what i found out?
he's right. so many of the old fairytales are quite...well...
take 'The Little Mermaid' for example.
remember how the mermaid went to the sea witch to ask her to turn her tail into legs?
the witch did that...but she split her tail in half instead and molded them into the shape of legs.
the legs started bleeding non stop, and she got washed up onto the beach.
(but not before the sea witch CUT OUT HER TONGUE as payment... DD:)
the prince found her, and she can't speak, so he takes her to his castle.
as entertainment, he asked her to dance for him.
so the mermaid danced for him, all the while in extreme pain that feels like daggers in her legs.
and because the prince loved her dancing, she keeps doing in...in excruciating pain.
i mean, wtf???
and then the prince fell in love with another princess and they're about to get married and etc.
the mermaid was heart broken, and she'll turn into sea foam if he marries someone else.
and then to turn back into a mermaid, she had to kill the prince right?
she couldn't do it, because she loved him too much, so she turned into sea foam...
but wait, no! she turns into a air spirit...
and the only way she can win an immortal soul is by visiting children.
300 years it takes for her to become an immortal soul.
every time she sees at a good child, she smiles and deducts one year...
but every time she sees a naughty child, she must cry.
and every tear adds on another year.
HOW THE FREAK IS THAT FAIR?? O_o
and i'm over ranting about that now.
original fairytales are really quite gross... =|
