Good evening everyone!
I'm not good at using computer, so it's kind of hard to write a blog, but here's my comment for the "Mermaid".
Story
There was a boy who loved to imagine. One day, he found a fish in the beach. When he was watching the fish, the fish turned into a mermaid. They play in the sea with full of imagination.
After playing around with mermaid, the boy suggested to the mermaid to come with him, and he took the mermaid to his house. Boy show the mermaid to his parents, but for his parents, the mermaid looked like just a fish. The world boy lived banned to imagine, so boy was arrested.
Everyone tried to make him think that there is no such a thing like mermaid. Boy was tortured, but boy never forget the mermaid. So, people tried the different things. Boy was forced to read books, and than, his imagination start to vanish. When he got home, he noticed that he can't see the mermaid anymore. He went to the sea to release the fish. Everyone came to watch the boy.
The boy went into the sea with the fish. All the sudden, fish turned into the mermaid, and start swimming with the boy to the horizon.
What I think is, this is the story that trying to tell us that imagining is really free, and no one can ban this. Also maybe Osamu Teduka trying to aware the Japanese, don't forget your identity and be free to imagine. Well, it's really hard to explain and think about this because this is no voice, but this is what I thought about this story.
Thank you for reading! Good night ;-D
