Hans Andersen wrote many famous fairy tale stories that was translated into more than 100 language and what he was famous for the most. Even though he wrote poet, novels, playwright, and essayist.Hans Andersen came from poor family; he was born in 2nd, August, 1805 in Denmark. Anderson went to Royal Theater to be an actor even though he could not make it as an actor, Andersen get support from Royal Theater to have a scholarship to obtain the basic education; he was not good at spelling and writing. After graduating from university, he went to Italy and got his inspiration of writing as result. Surprisingly he had dyscalculia; it is a disability dealing with basic math mainly. I think it is impressing to know he discovered his talent in making stories even though he was bad at spelling during he was in school. I believe it is impressive to see him write stories that kids enjoy listening to before bed time. In conclusion, his stories teach us something valuable that we will be help us in different situation we might face in life.
