Folk and Fairy Tales


Hello! My name is Rachel and my favorite fairy tale of all time is Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.” This tale happens to be my favorite because it is centered around the ocean and romance (two of my favorite things), but also, when I was little, all I wanted to be was a mermaid, just like Ariel—swimming with the dolphins and being able to explore shipwrecks with my fish best friends. Growing up, fairy tales would fascinate me, so I would beg my mother to read them to me. As I grew and expanded my creativity and love for enchantment and wonder, I would write my own fairy tales and give them to my family as gifts. Although during middle school and high school, I stopped reading fairy tales and started branching out towards other stories that had qualities resembling fairy tales—lots of dystopian, science fiction, and romance novels. Now in college, I was thrilled to find a class that not only greatly interested me, but would also count for a McDaniel plan credit. I am thrilled to begin this class and deepen my knowledge on fairy tales! I hope to read and explore different variations of the famous fairy tales, like the Little Mermaid, but also to learn about new fairy tales I’ve never heard of before.
