Mermaid by Osamu Tezuko

Setting: island, unknown

Conflict: his free thinking vs the country that doesn't allow free thinking

Climax: the main character was caught to be changed into the systematic view of the country that their fish was not a mermaid. 

Symbol: the fish is the symbol of his desire to break free

Irony: they made me feel astonished 

Theme: The author wants to emphasize that different thinking could lead into an attack on social construct. The end the boy turned into a mermaid.
