Reading Notes: Princess Hase (Japanese Fairy Tales, Part B)

Princess Hase

  • First off, my story could start with the pressures the princess has towards put on herself because of her mother's dying wishes/words that she should grow up to be a model woman. All she wants to do is please her deceased mother. 
  • Next, when she is taken away from her home because of her cruel stepmother, instead of just waiting for her father to rescue her, I would make her her own savior! 
  • Since I want to include this in my storybook, the story will be in first person point-of-view. It will be her adventure of bringing herself and the servant back to her home! She will have to go down the mountain.
