As a little girl‚ I pretended I was Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I wanted desperately to find my prince charming. I danced around to the songs‚ and I would have loved a castle filled with enchanted creatures‚ or a library filled with books up to the ceiling. Years later‚ after watching the same story unfold‚ I can honestly say that Belle could be a role model for me in the way she lived her life.

I picked the song “The Beauty in Ugly” because I think that the lyrics relate to the story of Oochigeas and the Invisible Hunter. The song is about a girl who thinks that she isn’t beautiful‚ but she truly is in her own way. It reminds me of how Oochigeas sees herself versus how she really is.

Despite being treated poorly
