Enchanted Fish

I will tell you a story about "Enchanted Fish" and I will also invite you to go to the sea where there are magic goldfish.

Let's read the fairy tale!!

"Enchanted Fish"

There once was a fisherman who lived with his wife in a small hut close by the seaside. The fisherman used to go fishing every day. One day, as he sat in his boat with his rod, looking at the sparkling waves and watching his line, all of a sudden his float was dragged away deep into the water. He quickly started to reel in his line and managed to pull out a huge fish. "Wow! This will feed us for days." Much to his surprise, the fish started to talk and said, "Pray, let me live! I am not a real fish; I am an enchanted prince. Put me in the water again, and let me go! Have mercy o' kind fisherman." The astonished fisherman quickly threw him back, exclaiming, "I don't want to hurt a talking fish! Go on! Go where you came from." 

When the fisherman went home to his wife, he told her everything that had happened and how, on hearing it speak, he had let it go again. "Didn't you ask it for anything?" said the wife. "No, I didn't, what should I have asked for?" replied the fisherman.

"I am surprised you don't realize what you should have asked for. We live very wretchedly here, in this nasty dirty hut. We are poor and I am so miserable. You should have asked for a nice cozy cottage. Now go back and ask the fish that we want a snug little cottage," said his wife.

The fisherman wasn't sure about this but he still went to the seashore, sat in his boat, went to the middle of the sea and said:

"O enchanted beautiful fish!

Hear my plea!

My wife wants not what I want,

and she won't give up till she has her own will,

so come forth and help me!"

The fish immediately came swimming to him, and said, "Well, what is her will? How can I help your wife?" "Ah!" said the fisherman, "she says that when I had caught you, I ought to have asked you for something before I let you go. She does not like living in our little hut, and wants a snug little cottage." "Go home then," said the fish, "She is already in the cottage!" So the fisherman went home, and saw his wife standing at the door of a nice trim little cottage. "Come in, come on in! Look at the beautiful cottage we have." Everything went fine for a while, and then one day fisherman's wife said, "Husband, there is not enough room for us in this cottage, go back to the fish and tell him to make me an emperor." "Wife," said the fisherman , "I don't want to go to him again. Perhaps he will be angry. We ought to be happy with what the fish has given us and not be greedy." "Nonsense!" said the wife; "The fish will do it very willingly, I know. Go along and try!" With a heavy heart the fisherman went to the middle of the sea and said:

"O enchanted beautiful fish!

Hear my plea!

My wife wants not what I want,

and she won't give up till she has her own will,

so come forth and help me!"

"What would she have now?" said the fish. "Ah!" said the fisherman, "she wants to be an emperor." "Go home," said the fish; "She is an emperor already."

So he went home and he saw his wife sitting on a very lofty throne made of solid gold, with a great crown on her head full two yards high. And on each side of her stood her guards and attendants in a row. The fisherman went up to her and said, "Wife, are you an emperor?" "Yes," she said, "I am an emperor." "Ah!" said the man, as he gazed upon her, "What a fine thing it is to be an emperor!" "Husband," she said, "it is goof to be an emperor." They were happy for a while.

Then a time came when she was not able to sleep all night for she was thinking what she should ask next. At last, as she was about to fall asleep, morning broke, and the sun rose. "Ha!" she thought, as she woke up and looked at it through the window, "after all I cannot prevent the sun from rising." At this thought she was very angry, and weakened her husband, and said, "Husband, go to the fish and tell him I must be Lord of the sun and the moon." The fisherman was half asleep, but the thought frightened him so much that he fell out of the bed. "Alas, wife!" he said, "cannot you be happy with being such a powerful emperor?" "No," she said, "I am very uneasy as long as the sun and the moon rise without my permission. Go to the fish at once!" "I don't think this is a good idea," said the fisherman but his wife wouldn't listen to him. "Why don't you just go and ask the fish to make me the Lord of everything," she said.

Then the man went shivering with fear. As he was going down to the shore a dreadful storm arose. The trees and the very rocks shook and the sky became black with stormy clouds. There were great black waves, swelling up like mountains with crowns of white foam upon their heads. Unfortunately the fisherman did not have any choice, so he got onto his boat and rowed to the middle of the sea and cried out as loud as he could:

"O enchanted beautiful fish!

Hear my plea!

My wife wants not what I want,

and she won't give up till she has her own will,

so come forth and help me!"

"What does she want now?" said the fish. "I am truly ashamed of my wife's greed but I can't do anything. She wants to be Lord of the sun and the moon." "Go home," said the fish, "to your small hut." And it is said that they live there to this every day.

Figure of Speech

 ● Definition of Figure of Speech

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that is used in a non-literal way to create an effect. This effect may be rhetorical as in the deliberate arrangement of words to achieve something poetic, or imagery as in the use of language to suggest a visual picture or make an idea more vivid. Overall, figures of speech function as literary devices because of their expressive use of language. Words are used in other ways than their literal meanings or typical manner of application.

The simile in the first two lines sets forth a comparison between the way “you” fits into the poet like a hook and eye closure for perhaps a garment. This is an example of rhetorical effect in that the wording carefully achieves the idea of two things meant to connect to each other. In the second two lines, the wording is clarified by adding “fish” to “hook” and “open” to “eye,” which calls forth an unpleasant and even violent image. The poet’s descriptions of hooks and eyes are not meant literally in the poem. Yet the use of figurative language allows the poet to express two very different meanings and images that enhance the interpretation of the poem through contrast.

Examples include:

• She sells seashells.

• O - Oh hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
• U - Uncertain rustling of each purple curtain

Euphemism is a mild, indirect, or vague term that often substitutes a harsh, blunt, or offensive term.

• 'Letting you go' instead of 'firing you.'

• A whole new world

A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole new world with you)

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

Verse 1: I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide?

the new world is described as fantastic point of view, which means that it is an imaginary place which can only be pictured if one has a wonderful ability to imagine. The new world will be achieved or seen through the mind

Pre-chorus: I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a magic carpet ride

and the perfection is created with a very good perspective and imaginative skills. They talk up the new world as a place where there is no negativity or restriction. It is indeed a place like no other.

Chorus : A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us, "No" Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming A whole new world A dazzling place I never knew But when I'm way up here It's crystal clear That now I'm in a whole new world with you (Now I'm in a whole new world with you)

It is a world which is so fabulous with so many things to see. It is a place so good that the singers do not want to go back to the world where they come from because it does not compare to that new world. They are lost in this world of fantasy because of its numerous qualities and they want to remain in that state for a long time; for the whole of eternity. The new world also brings with it a lot of opportunities and they are willing to go to any length to pursue these opportunities.

 

Verse 2: Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky

describing the new world. It is a world which is so fabulous with so many things to see

why i choose this song

i choose this song because of it deep meaning of showing a whole new world to a person we love, and the lyrics were absolutely beautiful

an explanation

"A Whole New World" is a song from the 1992 Disney animated film Aladdin, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. The song is a ballad between main characters Aladdin and Jasmine about the new world they will discover together while riding Aladin's magic carpet. . The original version was sung by Brad Kane and Lea Salonga during this film. They also performed the song in their character at the 65th Academy Awards, where it won the Academy Awards Best Original Song and was also the first and only Disney song to win a Grammy Award for Song of The Year at the 36th Grammy Awards. In 2014, Adam Jacobs and Courtney Reed performed the song as Aladdin and Jasmine in the Broadway film adaptation.

A single version of the previous song was released that year and was performed by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle. This version was played at the end of the film and referred to on the sound track as "Aladdin's Theme." This version topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts on March 6, 1993, replacing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", which had spent the next 14 weeks on the section. top ranking. He earned gold and sold 600,000 copies domestically. The song managed to reach 12th place on the UK Singles Chart in 1992. It was the first and only song from a Disney animated film to top the Billboard Hot 100.The single version was later included on the Belle Passion studio album (1993) and on the studio album. Bryson Through the Fire (1994). The Latin American version of the song, "Un Mundo Ideal", by Ricardo Montaner and Michelle received screenings throughout Latin America. The song was later included on the hit album Montaner Éxitos y ... Algo Más (1993).

The meaning of the song A Whole New World, which is the soundtrack of the film Aladdin, is to live a new page of life, still love in simplicity, dare to face all the challenges of life where every turn is a surprise awaiting.

the meaning from the song

In the chorus, the new world is described as fantastic point of view, which means that it is an imaginary place which can only be pictured if one has a wonderful ability to imagine. The new world will be achieved or seen through the mind, and the perfection is created with a very good perspective and imaginative skills. They talk up the new world as a place where there is no negativity or restriction. It is indeed a place like no other.

In the second verse, Zhavia Ward narrates her experience. She speaks of the unbelievable sights and freedom to whatever she wants to do.

The chorus which accompanies this verse is also describing the new world. It is a world which is so fabulous with so many things to see. It is a place so good that the singers do not want to go back to the world where they come from because it does not compare to that new world. They are lost in this world of fantasy because of its numerous qualities and they want to remain in that state for a long time; for the whole of eternity. The new world also brings with it a lot of opportunities and they are willing to go to any length to pursue these opportunities.

In the outro, the singers echo their desires together. They both want to be in this new world. It promises to be a “wondrous” place and getting there will be a “thrilling” challenge for both of them.

Conclusion:

   After we interpret and interpret the entire lyrics of the song, it can be concluded that the song " a whole new world " has the theme of true love. This song considers that  is someone who is always there with you, always helping you in sad or happy situations. someone is people who accept you as you are. People who are always willing to accept your complaints when there are problems and so on.

   This well-known song is one of my all time favorites. The tone of this song is romantic and soft between the two lovers, Aladdin and Jasmine. It is as if they are the only two people existing in this world. Aladdin tries to fulfill Jasmine’s happiness by taking her on a magic carpet ride and serenading her. His soothing voice pleases Jasmine as she joins him in this song. “A Whole New World” represents a breathtaking atmosphere on a romantic night for the couple. The couple sails on the magic carpet through the night enjoying their own personal view of the world. Aladdin believes by showing Jasmine a whole new world that would make her heart desire the “dazzling place [he] never knew”.
