The little prince is an allegory of love and responsibility.
The little prince, a sentimental little man, was a kind and compassionate man, who came from a small planet. One day, he wanted to visit other planets. So the little prince began his journey to the stars. Journey, he met lonely king pride, vanity, strange alcoholic, busy industrialists, punctual lamps, arrogant geologist, met this hero finally came to earth. There are many stories between them, so that we can see the love and responsibility between people.
Reading this book, I know a truth: people can only use the mind to observe, to feel. To know that it is impossible to see the nature of things by the naked eye, and to understand that a man can not only think of himself, but be a responsible person.
This 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 authorsatirized 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-free life 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 I saw the second time, I noticed a sentence in the book, _all adults were children._ I seem to understand that this book is written for us who used to be children. So, I try to read this book from the perspective of the child——the mind, not the brain.
Then, sure enough, I saw a lot of interesting things. At first reading this book, I feel a little confused. It doesn't seem to know what the author is trying to say. A few times later, I gradually realized that the book was always in a clear line. That's _taming_ —— building relationships. There is a second thread: it's a question of what is important.
The author later said that the earth is a collection of the first few people, which is too obscure, and so are we in life. Secular grinding out abrupt edges and corners are too many _normal_, carefully burnish themselves and others, everyone from _square_ to _circular_, will be able to get along with each other, both protect themselves from the scratch, also won't leave a mark on others, what a perfect way of life! But it's not life! Not for the unique life, but for survival.
Fox and establish the relationship between the little prince is worthy of envy, as the fox said: _for you, I am just a fox, and other ten million fox, once you have made me tame animals, then we shall need each other. The golden wheat will remind me of you, and I will fall in love with the wind of the wheat. _
All of this is wonderful, because the two parties have a transparent mind, really valuable. Some people say that the little prince has changed in his journey, but I do not agree with him. Love makes people understand happiness and sadness, and also makes people free from loneliness and makes life interesting and meaningful.
Understand this, the little prince said to _I_ : _if you fall in love with a flower that grows on a star at night, you is sweet to look at the sky, all the stars are like open flowers._ So he chose to go back to his own planet.
Yesterday, I found a book with a strange cover on my father's bookshelf. It was called _the little prince_. () I thought it was my father's childlike innocence that he secretly hid fairy tales to read.
I opened my book and sat quietly on my desk.
After reading the first page, I was deeply attracted by the book and read non-stop. It took me two hours to finish reading the book. After reading it, I felt that the story inside was simple, but the moral in the story was a little deep. I didn't understand it very well.
But let me write down my feelings.
The little prince, who lived alone on a planet of his own, was very small, like a little prince's house. There, the little prince planted a rose, which accompanied the little prince every day. One day, the little prince left his home. The rose and the little prince were very sad when they said goodbye.
I also felt the acid in my eyes. Why did the little prince leave when they were reluctant to each other? Perhaps the little prince wanted to see the world outside. After all, the little prince's home was so small.
The little prince travelled all the way to earth. On earth, he met a fox waiting for her prince. The fox falls in love with the little prince.
The little prince is happy and sad on earth. His friend gave him happiness, but sometimes he felt sad when he missed the roses on his planet.
At last the little prince decided to go home. The fox begged the little prince to go down with her, but the determination of the little prince to go home was not touched, and he wanted to go home for the roses.
I have read this, and I do not understand, to leave the earth for a rose, to leave the friends of the earth, to leave the fox that loved him. To get that many roses is more precious than these.
Perhaps it was the little prince who was tired outside and felt that the rose in his family was his favorite.
I don’t remember the exact year I first read The Little Prince . Though the golden snake in the book plays a cameo role , I never forget the scene that he flashed kissed gently on the little prince’s ankle. It made me be afraid to reread this book.
Later, I listened a Michael Wong’s song named Fairy-tale Story, the prince in his song is different from the prince in The Little Prince, the prince in the song is the same as Andersen’s tales’ princes, they all have happy endings.
However, I think The Little Prince is a sad story. There is a saying: There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes. Now, let me talk about my reading feeling. This simple story flies over every corner of the world: a pilot (the narrator) who had an accident with his plane and crashed in the Desert of Sahara then he met the little prince from the planet B-612, and the narrator listened little prince’s travel experience of seven planets. On the seven planets, he met a variety of persons. They are the king, the conceited man, the businessman, the tippler, the lamplighter, the geographer and so on.
The Little Prince is a story belongs to adults who have childlike children don’t understand the little prince’s deep is not so much a fairy tale, as it is a tragedy. This story tells the grow-ups’ world is full of empty，lost and loneliness with kids’ perspective. Among the story, the alcoholic is impressive. He was surrounded by a pile of beer bottles when the little prince saw him, and prince asked him why he is drinking, but he answered he want to forget his shame of drinking. This short planet visit plunged little prince into deep puzzled. He think the grow-ups are certainly very, very odd. In kids' eyes, beautiful things must look with heart. But the adults pay more attention on things’ appearance that is just a shell and they don’t believe the eyes are blind and the heart is true.
Through this story, it also made me understand what’s the love---love's more mineral, more dense, more bitter and more weighty than the earth's profoundest matter.
When I first read The Little Prince, I can’t understand the mean of love and never to think why should the little prince leave alone since he love his rose so deeply. For years, I reread the story and think about it. The simple true was first love. The little prince didn’t know how to love and It was difficult to make him understand the rose’s heart, so it may lead to misunderstanding and hurts from time to time. He leaved his planet because he can not accept the rose and himself.
This is why the little prince don’t know he have to leave : at that time, he had no idea he was in it. The little prince don’t understand the meaning of tame until he met the fox later. Then he produced the endless yearning for the roses and realized his responsibility.
_Do you want to be domesticated?_ For me, this is a profound question. In the book, the little prince met a fox and invited the fox to play with him, but he was refused. The fox told him that he was not tamed. “what does that mean--tame?” little prince asked. The fox answered:” it means to establish ties: to me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me , you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”
Gradually the little prince was beginning to understand, because he remembered his rose and he thought his rose had tamed him. So he chose to go back to his planet in the end. But to the fox, the little prince’s farewell will make her sad, but the hurts because of love, she should learn to accept it gradually. I believe there are full of hurts within serious and true love.
As long as the little prince flied to different planets and met a variety of persons can he understand himself and his rose. So I think traveling is a good way to experience life.
After reading ,I was moved by the true love and friendship. In that little world, everything is full of love and the rose, she loved the Little Prince, she was beatific,because she could be cared. In the reality, we are the same. We love our parents,and they just like the Little Prince who take care of you,my dear parents,I'll love you forever.
As for friends,I can never forget the sincere and help made the Little Prince hopeful and glad. Facing all my friends,I'll be the fox,I'll bring hope and happy to all the people beside 'll never let them disappointed.
Thank you,Little Prince. You have taught me a lot. I'll learn from you're now in a pure and happy place,believe me, all the roses will bloom,only for you!
