The Little Prince
An Introduction of the work.
Comments or Appreciation on the work.
The Little Prince is a fairy tale about love and life.
It published in 1943 and written by a French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The extraordinarily imaginative words capture innumerable grown-up?s and children?s hearts .
This novel tells the story of the little prince, who came from on a young star NAMED B-612.The
planet was so small that nobody
could go very far. the little prince owned a rose and three volcanoes. The prince loves his rose, but felt disappointed by something
the rose said. As doubt grows, he decides to explore other planet.
And this is the beginning of the long······
BACK TO INNOCENCE
During his journey, he visited several planets, and had conversations with their inhabitants。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. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd.
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”.
Why dont people go back to innocence?
What is innocence?
Go back to innocence，learn to use our hearts to observing everything, not only by the eyes; Go back to innocence，in the attitude of grateful for the whole world; Go back to innocence , learn to use happiness to beat sorrow——in children’s world , there is no impasse，sun will still rising when you open the eyes.
“Go back to innocence”-----this is what I get from the little prince .Now I write it
out for all of you.
LEARN TO LOVE
Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth. And then, it turns into a story about learn to love.
“Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her… ?
See, the little prince came to the earth with a question .
Then 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. The fox said,?tame means to establish ties,which I think is the same meaning as love . the little prince tames the fox.It is the fox who teach him to love and be responsible You become
responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose...
At the time to say farewell, the fox said , It has done me good, because of the color of the wheat fields. Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world.
Smile at death
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. 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.
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.
As the book said ,\water on the heart is beneficial\and little prince can make people feel warm and fresh.
