Little PrinceThis is a fairytale whose distribution volume is only second to The Bible. It’s been translated to versions of many other languages. And I gather there must be something special, something really great about it. It’s this conviction that drove me to read it at the first beginning. Well, with due respect to the author, I failed to see how this fairytale be worthy of our attention, despite the fact that many readers claimed this book to be designed for adults.Anyway, as a well-acknowledged book, it must possess unique feature to maintain it’s position. And it’s reputation and popularity will by no means be destroyed by what an unknown man says. I will talk about the main contents of the book, and the inspiration it renders as usual.
This book mainly tells us the experience of a prince from a tiny planet, who traveled to many other planets and finally came to the earth and met the pilot in a desert. The prince and the pilot became good friends, and the pilot gradually got to know the feeling and experience of his friend. Before he came to the earth, little prince had been to other 6 little planets where he made acquaintance with some strange people. The first man he met was a king on a little planet, yet he claimed to be the king of the space and ridiculously justified his unshakable governance over all. The second person was a man of vanity, who enjoyed compliments of any form without considering whether it’s sincere or not. The third person was an alcoholic who tried to forget the fact that he’s addicted to acohol by drinking like a fish. The fourth person was an abosolute money-oriented businessman, who cared nothing but his fortune. Next came the lamp-lighter who performed his duty blindly. The last one was a geographer who knew too much about geography to solve a real problem related to it. These six people each represented one kind of person like us. The author satirized people’s conceit, emptiness, fakeness, innocence and blindness through the tone of a child.I see eye to eye with the author in that the cause of people’s loneliness can be concluded to the negligence of the bonds that connects them. People are supposed to care about each other, cherish what’s really important for them, and be grateful for the happiness that they’ve gained. We all believe knowledge and experience enable us to see clearly and make right judgements all the time. But we may sometimes lose the right to speak straighforwardly, think creatively or love courageously resulting from what we’ve experienced. That why in our middle school textbooks, it’s the little kid that breaks the illusion of the emperor by saying ”but mum, he ain’t were anything”.
When I was a child, I was definitely a good boy who went home on time after school and did his homework and never tried anything without mom’s permission. And now I am a grown-up, and still I am a good man, at least, that’s what I heard. Sometimes when I was lonely and I began to think about my childhood, then all the happiness and care-freelife came back to me as it were yesterday. Kids that once accompanied me during my childhood now become fathers and mothers of their kids and I myself am a child no more. Thinking about all these things have made me moody. There’re changes happening in our lives whether we are happy about it or not.People told me life is a journey which will never stop once it’s started. What’s left behind are happiness and sorrow, pride and shame, success and regret. There’s good old time to reminisce and there’s sad hours that reminds us of the pain. Your feeling makes them real, and you know you lived.I want to conclude by saying some positive words that each yestersday used to be today, and each today is the future of yesterday, so making the most of today is the best way to cherish your lives. Our mortal beings are doomed to die. It’s not sad, instead, death it’s just a process of our lives.
After all, we’ve lived our lives and it’s what we do and how we think that determine who we are.(when you look at the above passages, don’t regard it as a composition or an article, because if you do, you will be puzzled at the structure. It’s just a few words that come to my mind at the moment and I type them.)Have a nice day!
During the winter vacation, I read French writer Su St. Erik Perrys works, "the little prince". The main story of this book is that a pilot used to be terribly troubled by adults who did not understand their dreams when they were young, but when he grew up, he met a little prince in the desert and rediscovered and recovered the innocence of his childhood. Originally, the little prince came from a small planet. After he quarrelled with roses, he began to travel in the universe.
The little prince began to travel on the planet. In addition to the earth, some of the planets he had gone to were very small. Like the little princes planet, they could see a lot of sunrise and sunrise. Each planet had only one person, and they were different. The important thing is that the inhabitants of those planets are already adults. Their world -- in the words of little prince -- is very peculiar. The last planet is the earth, which is familiar and strange to us. The little prince met a fox. At the point of the fox, he realized how precious the love between himself and the rose was. When he left, the fox gave the little prince a word: the essence of the thing was seen with the mind, and the real important thing was the unvisible sight of the naked eye. Because you put your time on your roses, thats why she is so important. Then he returned to the rose.
The story of the little prince makes us understand that some of the best things in life are often invisible to the naked eye, and have to be aware of it; it takes patience and effort to be a friend, and in addition, to be responsible for what you have domesticated.
Main Characters: the little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.
Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. the tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.
Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.
At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. “It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.” he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.
People say, "Little Prince" is a fairy tale written to adults, to adults who dont want to grow up. Love, loneliness, anxiety, attachment to life and irony of the world. All these things can only be understood after growing up. In the three stage of life, three read the little prince, three thoughts. In a hurry, I thought I was still the child who was going to travel around the world. Now I look back and find that I have long gone. I only left a shadow in the same year.
I wish I had never read it, but the magic of time was so magical that I had left the frost on my face when I was not aware; I wish I had never read it, but all the way, those people and things had already branded them in my heart. In the end, I can only hope that I will not become the most annoying look that I am becoming an adult, and I will always have a little prince in my heart.
I was in grade four in primary school. This semester the teacher asked us to read the little prince, and my mother gave me a sound reading of the little prince. I took a week to finish it. Of course, when I was in school, I would read the book as soon as I had time. I think the book "Little Prince" is right to me. It is a great inspiration.
The little prince, the protagonist of the book, is a child. He is called the little prince. He comes up from a very small planet and meets a pilot who is repairing his ship. The little prince lets the pilot help him to draw a lamb. Finally, they become a good friend. At that time, the little prince knew nothing about the outside world. The pilot advised him to come back to every planet and learn something. The little prince accepted the pilots advice. He came to the kings planet, the wine planet, the planet of the merchant, the planet of the light husband, the planet and the earth of the learned man, the little prince. He came to every planet hard and learned knowledge conscientiously. He learned a lot of knowledge, too.
After reading this book, I was deeply attracted by the story of the little prince. At the same time, I was moved by the spirit of the little princes perseverance and learning. I think I would also be a good student who persevered and loved learning.
