For this final project, I will be basing it off on the short story called “The frog prince” by Brothers Grimm. This short story takes place during the middle ages where kings and queens existed. The main character is the frog who is later known to have been enchanted. He had helped a princess get her gold ball again and was promised to take him anywhere he wished. Unfortunately, the princess forgot about the frog and ran to her home without speaking with the frog.
Since the story is based on the middle ages where kings, queens, and princesses existed, i believe the mood for the short story could be calm and hopeful. Since the frog was enchanted, he felt like he needed to get his normal life back, or at least try to still live its life in a frog’s body. The princess’ father told her that she needed to stick with her promise. She had to do anything that he pleased just like she had promised to the frog.
Something i would change in this short story is the object that the princess had lost and the way that she forgot about the frog. I feel like it would have been better if the princess tried to know the frog. Ask him how he is able to talk, who enchanted him, and for how long he’s been living as a frog.
