The Little Prince
ReplyDeleteLife is wonderful. It has ups and down but the real beauty is within us that we cannot see. The house, the stars or the desert, all are beautiful but there is something missing and invisible. This kind of things we absolutely can't see but we can only feel the pure feeling.
When I read "the little prince", I found that the little prince is a good child. He is naive, lovely, so pure and sincere. In real life, we are all busy like a swarm of flies without a soul, noisy and crowded. Time flies and gradually we grew up but the memories of the childhood are always there. The childhood memories are childish and playful where we do not think about anything. We live freely with no concerns about anyone. As we grow up, we mingle with the society more, focus on interest rule, and we ignore the happy soul. However, when I read "the little prince", I recalled of my childhood and made it so fresh. It again made me think about that translucent bright heart.
I always believe I am a happy person. I think little prince is a very brave man who has a will to travel different planet and see things differently which Men cannot dare but his heart is still in his own planet and he is eagerly waiting to go back after he is done with his travel to different planet. In this whole process, he met different people and animal and at the same time, he is able to communicate and handle the situation in a totally new environment. This explains that we should have the courage like him and should be able to mingle with the situation because life has so much to give and it depends on us, what we want to take.
ReplyDeletethere was a little prince who was searching for something and meeting different kinds of people.
By the time I read it, I was able to understand the whole story and pictured. I also realized that it was really meant for children and grown-upsas well that we can learn many things from this story.
The childhood of the Pilot and the little prince’s life were almost the similar that
they see things clearly and that they perceive things the way they should be. They know what they are looking for but it was the people around them that hinder them for doing so. They are also into a search. They want to seek something that would make them feel that they have achieved something. This was evident when the Pilot became sothirsty and they have to find a well in the desert. The little prince led the way and they were able to find it after a hundred miles. . What makes us realize about the role of thechildren in the
story was that “grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is
exhausting for children to have to provide explanations over and over again.” It is
clearly presented in the story about how a child and a grown-up view their way of life. If we will try to observe the reality; children talk about what matters most in life unlike thegrown-ups who would talk about the factual things. If we will just understand each event, it would mean something more than the literal context. As to how I understood the story, I think the little prince represents childhood, pilot as adulthood, the six planets inhabited by the king, general, businessman, drunkard,historian and geographer as our exploration of things in life, the snake, as a temptation that leads us to a trap, the fox, as our true friends, the oasis as treasure, the rose as the people important to us and the little prince’s planet as our own lives.
the author wants to make us realize the essence of human life and human nature. He wants his audience to realize that children and grown-ups are ever the same even though grown-ups undergone childhood. He also wants us to picture out how one would search for things that would make him happy. In this human race, we meet different kinds of persons and that there are some who are like from the six planets wherein we can’t find out what we are looking for in them and they are just acquaintance, while the fox as those strange people who become our friends and some are like snakes who will just fool us.Our life comes only once so we should cherish it and enjoy it to the fullest. We should not also forget that we should do good things to others.
