About The Little Prince
Sometimes we choose life，but this life belongs to others. If we once did it，we would be terrible grown-upsmixing everything up together，confusing everything，and all day just say that“I’m busy with matters of consequence. ” I don’t want to be that kind of person!Why not choose life of my own?
Every time I’m reading the story，the idea becomes more and more strong. Nothing is meaningful unless you put your love in it.
The little prince lives in the planet B-612 that isn’t any larger than a house. His life is simply with joy. One day，a beautiful angel was born among the simple flower that had only one rings of petals. She was totally a miracle at the sunrise. To the little prince，she was a very complex creature. He couldn’t help falling in love with the flower. But，as he said，he was too young to know how to love her. She always pretended to be proud to conceal her love. Then he went away from his planet to search for something he needed. She didn’t blame him or urge him to stay. Actually she wanted him to be happy. So she chose not to cry and let him go.
During his trip on the earth，he met the fox. At that time，the little prince was looking for men. But the fox beg of him to tame her because she used to live a monotonous life and wanted to have a friend. So，since then，the little prince sat a little closer to her day by day. Thus，the little prince tamed the fox.
But the departure was coming. Hadn’t it helped her in any way?Yeah，it did help her. To each other，they had been unique in the world instead of other thousands of ordinary little boys and foxes!And to the fox，she owned the color of the Wheatfield to remind her of the happiness with the little prince.
Everything changed from the very beginning. And at last，the fox told the little prince her secret：
“It’s only with one’s heart that one can see clearly.
What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Then he understood，it was the time he spent on his flower which made his flower so important.
We may be one of these characters in the book. The flower，the fox，or the little prince. I mean that LOVE and DEPARTURE，MISUNDERSTANDING and SUDDENLY REALIZING are equally valuable.
When loving someone，we should be brave enough. Try to make him happy even if so many tears have been added up to a deep sea.
When someone tames you，the world will be a fantastic wonderland. All other people are just alike，but only he is so unique. Because of those moments of truth，you can see the spirit in this love. Nothing can ever replace it.
It’s a story about life and love. Furthermore，the little prince makes me understand the sweetness in sadness
The Little Prince A Tale of Love and Life
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.
One of the important characters is the rose. Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world. The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups.
Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. Well, now I can say, with my short sixteen-year’s life experience, it’s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart. The little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. Nevertheless, when I read this book, I feel a little sad about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence
