Dear Diary…

For my next ds106 assignment, I chose to do the ‘Dear Diary’ assignment, where I get to write a diary entry from the point of view from a Disney villain. One of my favorite Disney movies is “Frozen”, and I thought it would be so fun to write from the point of view of Hans!

Dear Diary,

My plan to become prince of Arendelle was foiled; I was so close, Anna was going to be taken care of with no issues. No one would have suspected a thing, Elsa would be put to death, and I would have lived a life of luxury with no big brothers to beat me up! But then the stupid little snowman that follows her everywhere messed everything up. Not to mention her freaky sister, smelly friend, and the reindeer- I for the life of me could not figure out why he had a reindeer, such strange people.

Now they’re sending me back to deal with my brothers. Who knows what they’re going to do to me. I wish they would go back to ignoring me like they used to.

Maybe I could run away, find another ignorant princess who needs a handsome, charming man to help her run a country. Surely there has to be another! This time I’ll make sure she doesn’t have a sister. Then I’ll be able to live my life of luxury as a king! Just the way it should be.

Anyways, this ship they’re sending me back on is terrible. It smells and they’re not even feeding me decent meals? Don’t they know I’m royalty? Don’t they know I have requirements? Ridiculous. They also haven’t provided me with any ice to put on my nose where Anna hit me, don’t they know I don’t want to bruise? They are going to hear it when I get back home!

Update a few days after returning home:

They’re making me work! I’ve been in the stables, me, Hans who is royalty- dealing with horses? How deplorable! I had to scrub the floors with a toothbrush, wash walls, everything a man of my merit should not have to do. My dumb brothers even made me sleep in the dungeons! Can you believe how ridiculous that is?

I have to find another poor princess to sweep off her feet, and soon. I can’t put up with this horrible treatment for much longer.

I am dreaming of a kingdom of my own. I just can’t wait to be king!

-Hans

  1. Wow! You are an amazing writer. I think that this would be fun to use in a classroom as a journal write. Especially if you use characters that didn’t have as much background the students could make up their own story.
