The little prince

The little prince is a small fairy tale written by Antoine de

Saint-Exupery.It’s mainly telling a journey that a child who has

special talent to pass through the surface of things and found its

essence. He can see the pilot to he painted outfit in a wooden

box of sheep and be python swallow to belly elephant.The prince

loves his roses, but felt disappointed by something the rose really

are. So he decided to a journey to explore other planets. In other

planets, he had met a king, a vanity man, a drunkard, a

businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. Then he finally

came to earth. On the earth, the little prince discovered that his

rose was not the only one of its kind, there were thousands of

roses in a garden, but he finally real ized that his rose was special

“because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I

have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have

sheltered behind the screen”. The fox teaches the little prince

“It is only with the heart that on e can see rightly; what is

essential is invisible to the eyes and you are responsible for your

rose.” So he decided to go back to his rose by bite of a snake.

At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe

it’s more significant for us to imagine.

Through the description of people who the little prince met

in his journey, we can realize the value of life, which is adulthood

can’t see and easy to ignore. I think in the end of the story, the

little prince bitten by the snake symbolize the death of author’s

innocence and he will enter the adult’s life, gradually become

those people as the little prince met.
