Part 2 (20 pts.) Analyze in an essay of at least 4 paragraphs, “Poor Unfortunate Souls” from Disney’s The Little Mermaid (included here). No introduction or conclusion, please. How does Ursula get Ariel to sign this deal? What rhetorical strategies and logical fallacies are employed? How does Ursula create an ethos of trustworthiness, despite all evidence to the contrary? You will want to read through the entire text before starting to write. Remember this is an essay, not a list. Choose a couple of elements that you can discuss well and stick to them rather than trying to hit every target. The most important question to answer here is ‘How?’
“Poor Unfortunate Souls” from Disney’s The Little Mermaid:
I admit that in the past I’ve been a nasty
They weren’t kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you’ll find that nowadays
I’ve mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
True? Yes!
And I fortunately know a little magic
It’s a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don’t laugh,
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed
(To Flotsam and Jetsam, aside) Pathetic.
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do
Now it’s happened once or twice
Someone couldn’t pay the price
And I’m afraid I had to rake ’em ‘cross the coals
Yes I’ve had the odd complaint
But on the whole I’ve been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
Have we got a deal?
ARIEL
If I become human, I’ll never be with my father or sisters again.
URSULA
But you’ll have your man. Life’s full of tough choices, isn’t it?
Oh, and there is one more thing.
We haven’t discussed the subject of payment.
ARIEL
But I don’t have-
URSULA
I’m not asking much, just a token really, a trifle!
What I want from you is – your voice.
ARIEL
But without my voice, how can I-
URSULA
You’ll have your looks, your pretty face.
And don’t underestimate the importance of body language, ha!
The men up there don’t like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yet on land it’s much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle chatter for?
Come on, they’re not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who’s withdrawn
It’s she who holds her tongue who gets her man
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I’m a very busy woman and I haven’t got all day
It won’t cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It’s sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You’ve got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I’ve got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul
