My alter ego: ArielWalt Disney has always been known for its brilliant imagination and overflowing abundance of its well-known Disney characters, each with their own personality. Growing up, Disney princesses were a huge role model for girls my age. Princesses have never really appealed to me as much as Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Ariel was known for her love of adventure, her utter stubbornness, and her devoted love, primarily towards her beloved Eric. These three characteristics are also three that represent me. The first reason Ariel is most like me is her love of adventure. In the movie The Little Mermaid, Ariel goes looking for shipwrecks and swims to the surface to talk to birds to identify human objects. She's always on the run for adventure, much like me. If I'm not home taking care of my family, we're out at the Kermit Dunes, taking last minute trips to Indiana, or spending the weekend at my family's lake house. As the quote in The Little Mermaid and on "IMDb" says, "If only I could make him understand." I just don't see things the way he does. I just don't see how a world that produces such wonderful things could be bad. "I also agree, the world is a beautiful and beautiful place and going on adventures and exploring is something that has always appealed to me. The second reason Ariel is so much like me is her complete stubbornness . Her father kept telling her to stay away from the surface and Ariel would never listen. She told her father that she wouldn't do it again, but soon after, she did the complete opposite. . Growing up it was the same for me my parents constantly asked me where... middle of paper ...... my loved ones being happy and taken care of is an important role in daily life for me. Like Ariel, I too am with someone my father didn't completely agree with. After 2 years he realized we are happy and moving towards what we think is right. Ariel was and still is a great role model in my life. She helps us see that even if someone else has different dreams for us, it is always more important to try to achieve the dreams we have. for ourselves. His love for adventure, his complete and intense stubbornness and his undying love for his Eric, his friends and his family are what makes me realize that our characteristics are similar. IMDb.
