setting: a distant militarism or totalitarianism country in the past
conflict: boy vs society
boy vs himself
climax: boy was escaping from pursuers
symbol: the sea is a symbol of freedom, mystery and life
a book is symbol of information
minority is a symbol of a nonconformist
a shell is a symbol of discovery and consistency
a whistle is a symbol of a danger
wind is a symbol of a hunch
a cloud is a symbol of an imagination
mermaid is a symbol of an imagination and beauty
an imagination is a symbol of danger in a militarism and totalitarianism country
irony: the boy believed a mermaid but he could not see it after escaping
the society denied the existence of mermaid but it appeared
theme: we should maintain our beliefs: when we force to change our beliefs, we lose ourselves
without beliefs, we can't make our personality
