The components of "The Frog Prince" are the Princess who will be portraying an ignorant, spoiled, and selfish personality while the Frog (Prince) will have the personality of being patient, determined, and kind although the Princess has rejected him several times. The King will be portraying a supportive father of the Princess who will encourage her daughter to keep her promise to the frog and help her along the way. Without the King, the message of the folktale would not be delivered correctly. The well, or pond is also a very important component of this folktale because without it, the Princess would not have lost her golden ball and made the promise to the Frog.
I decided to write it in a Korean folktale, therefore, the food in "The Frog Prince" will be Korean food such as kimchi, etc. The location of the folktale will take place in South Korea which has a sunny and warm climate. Rich traditional Korean people wear hanboks, so the clothing worn in the folktale will be hanboks. According to my research, Korean people express no religious preference. However, some believe in Christianity and Buddhism. The language spoken will be Korean and because Korean people tend to have close relationships with one another, there will be good relationship between the King and his people.

Good job with the research. Kimchi is yummy. Have you found some Korean words to use in your story to translate? Is there a specific village, town, or city in South Korea you might place your story? You can also make up one, as long as it is Korean.
