Even though I may quarrel over insignificant details with my little brother, he's always my number one priority whenever I leave the safe castle of home. I'm also proud of who I am and what I do. Whenever I'm really determined to do something, I would do whatever necessary to achieve it. On the other hand, I'm not nearly as tough or adamant as Squeaky is. The kinds of people I hate most are those who lag around dragging a group down.

Each story shows children grow up and learn to survive on their own to become adults and live happily ever after having survived very difficult situations, each lady making a deal for their time, love, etc. out of duress. The Frog King seems to endorse self-defiance and passion, rather than the liberating act of compassion found in Beauty and the Beast as the means of release from the spell cast by an evil witch to only be broken by a young lady. Set in a time when wishes still come true and the story of the Frog King also upholds the value of action by holding the princess to her words, just as Beast did with Bell in Beauty and the Beast. The display of anger in each tale from young ladies is very similar.
