Storybook Plan

 I plan to do a few different stories from the villains perspective.  The first story that I want to do is Snow White from the villains perspective.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White The second story that I want to do from a villains perspective is Cinderella.  https://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0510a.html The third story is that I will tell from the the villains perspective is The Little Mermaid.  The_Little_Mermaid_(1989_film) I plan to keep all these stories separate and all different stories. I do not plan to intertwine them. I plan to inform the readers on my own perspective of how the villains felt during the stories and why they did the things they did.  This displays most of the Disney villains.  Disney Villains
