The Little Prince
by
Antoine de Saint Exupery
Connect:
The novel is about finding
out the essential since, sometimes, the eyes cannot see it.
There are
instances in my pre-teen age that i took the less important, choosing the
things that are never worth specifically my relationship with my family. And as
the prince found out what made his rose special, I also found out that those
who stay close to my heart are the most important thing i could have. Even if i
forget them, i have felt there warmth and concerns. That is because we are blinded
with love. The same love that binds the Prince to his rose.
Question:
The book is crafted for kids most especially, that is why events
are a little superficial. But my only concern as to how the events are synthesized
is how the prince traveled from planet to planet. I think, even if the events
are too imaginative, there should be something like flying Porsche or floating
cars to justify his travel. If it was present I think it would be totally
different because of the presence of a flying machine that might run out of
power or of gasoline. lol!
Reflect:
In many things in life, we are
influenced by many changes that surround us. Our decisions are merely
influenced by things that reveal happiness when it’s already over.
This novel
gives us the idea about greater things in life. It will teach us the value of
something that the eyes failed to see sometimes. It will teach us the value of
things that has tamed us or we have tamed. That friendship or the process of
either being tamed or taming requires different processes that will let you
grow in fullest of your growth.
Predict:
I
think the Little Prince could have traveled so fast out of the things he was
able to found out from all his encounters during his travel. There, he will
take care of all that he tamed. It would
become better because of all the lessons he learnt and he shared among every
planets he visited.His rose would become a different rose since the Little
Prince already identified why it was special among all he that saw on Earth.
