title:
the little prince
author:
antoine de st-exupery
main
characters: the little prince, the pilot, the
rose, the fox,
the snake,
etc.
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, i
s 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.
five
questions:
q1: in what
kinds of occasion that the pilot makes the
acquaintance of the little
prince?
a1: the pilot has
an accident with his plane in the desert of
sahara, without any mechanics or
passengers. the first night,
when
sleeping in the sand, he is awakened by a little
odd voice
calling him to draw him a
sheep. then he sees a most
extraordinary small boy stand there. in
that case he makes the
acquaintance of
the little prince.
q2: why
the little prince become doubt about the flower
after a
piece of time?
a2: the flower begins very quickly to
torment the little prince
with her
vanity. for instance, she always force herself
cough a
little so that he should suffer
from remorse just the same. in
spite of
all the good will that is inseparable from his
love, has
soon come to doubt
her.
q3: why the little
prince plunge in to deep dejection when he
visits the tippler’s planet?
a3: the tippler is drinking there.
when the little prince asks
why he
drink, he says so he might forget. when the boy
demands what he forget, he says he
forget that he is ashamed.
when the
little prince asks what he ashamed of, he says he
forget the ashamed of drinking. the
circulated answer seems to
be absurd
and ridiculous. so the little prince plunges in to
deep dejection.
q4: what’s the meaning of the word
―tame‖ that the fox tells
the little
prince?
a4:
―tame‖, is an act too often neglected, which means
to
establish ties. according to the
fox, to him now, the little prince
is
nothing more than a little boy, and he is nothing
more than a
fox, like the others. they
both have no needs of each other, but
if the little prince tames him, they
will need each other. they
will be
unique in each other’s
worlds.
q5: why the little
prince knows that the rose of him is unique
in the world at last?
a5: because his rose is not like the
other five-thousand roses
planted in
the garden. he thinks in herself all alone she is
more
important that all he hundreds of
others. because it is she he
has
watered. it is she that he has put under the glass
globe;
because it is she that he has
sheltered behind the screen;
because it
is for her that he has killed the caterpillars,
except
the two or three that they save
to become butterflies; because
it is
she that he has listened to, when she grumbles, or
boasts,
or even sometimes when she says
nothing; because she is his
rose.
【雾都孤儿】
here i
am sitting on a couch alone, thinking about what i
have
just finished reading with tears
of sadness filling my eyes and
fire of
indignation filling my heart, which revived my
exhausted
soul that has already been
covered by the cruelty and the
selfishness of the secular world for a
long time. it is truly what
i felt
after reading oliver twist, written by the
prominent british
author charles
dickens.
the resonance
between me and the book makes me feel not
only the kindness and the wickedness of
all the characters in
the novel, but
what this aloof society lacks, and what i lack
deep inside. these supreme resources
i’m talking about right
now are
somewhat different from minerals, oil that we
usually
mention. they’re abstract like
feelings, and some kinds of
spiritual
stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from
one
another
——
love and care.
those
charitable figures whom dickens created in the
novel
are really what we need in life.
they showed love and care to
others,
just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the
earth,
which was carved into my heart
deeply.
mr. brownlow is one
such person.
the other day
he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by
two skilled teenage thieves, artful
dodger and charley bates,
and thought
naturally it was oliver, who was an orphan and
forced to live with a gang of thieves,
that had done it because
he was the
only one near by after the theft had taken place.
being wrathful, he caught oliver, and
sent him to the police
station where
the ill-tempered, unfair magistrates worked.
fortunately for him, oliver was proved
innocent by one
onlooker afterwards.
with sympathy, mr. brownlow took the
injured, poor oliver to his own home.
there oliver lived freely
and gleefully
for some months as if he were mr. brownlow’s
own son. one day, however, mr. brownlow
asked oliver to
return some books to
the bookseller and to send some money
for the new books that he had already
collected. the thief oliver
once stayed
with kidnapped him. after that he disappeared in
mr. brownlow’s life. searching for a
while, mr. brownlow had to
believe the
fact that he had run away with his money. but
dramatically, they came across each
other again a few years
later. without
hesitation, mr. brownlow took oliver home for the
second time not caring if he had done
something evil.
perhaps
most of us would feel confused about mr.
brownlow’s reaction. but as a matter
of
fact, this is just the
lesson we should learn from him. jesus
said in the bible. ―forgive not seven
times, but seventy
-times
seven.‖ why is that? because
forgiveness is our ability to
remove
negative thoughts and neutralize them so our
energy
may be spent on doing what we
came here for. we cannot
move forward
in our future if past issues cloud our thinking.
stop put mr. brownlow into the list of
your models. always give
people a
second chance no matter what they might have done.
that’s also a substantial part of
loving and caring others.
t
hen there are mrs. maylie and rose,
oliver’s other
benefactors. maybe the
reason they loved and cared oliver was
not because of forgiveness. in my point
of view, it was trust.
they had faith
in oliver when he was considered to be a filthy
burglar who tried
to break
the front door of maylie’s at
midnight.
but this wasn’t how these two ladies saw the whole
thing. they denied oliver’s crime
immediately and listened
attentively to
oliver’s own description of his miserable life.
they were deeply touched by
olive
r’s strong perseverance and
astonishing vitality. accordingly, they
remedied oliver’s body
and heart and
turned him into a different boy. he began to wear
appropriate and clean suits which were
tailor-made for him and
receive
education.
as far as we can
see, it is trust that helps us all live together
without precaution. sometimes trust can
even lead us to
miracles, which we
often expect to come about, so why not
trust? trust yourself, trust others,
and you’ll salute miracles
every single
day.
in the novel, though
the young oliver again and again fell for
conspiracies of those hideous thieves,
who tried to torture
oliver’s body and
poisoned oliver’s heart intensely, he always
lived on and tried hard to seek for his
own life. then i realized
what
supported him all through were actually beliefs.
in most
cases, what you believe is what
you’ll become. believe that you
are
unlimited, that you can do anything you commit to
doing,
and when you do, your
accomplishments will know no bounds.
you control your beliefs and that is
how you ultimately control
your life.
it’s all dictated by your attitude.
in the final analysis, love and care
contain numerous forms,
there are love
of forgiveness, love of trust, etc. but they all
come from your beliefs in life. when
someo
ne tells you he’s
deceived you, forgive him anyway, when
someone tells you
what he’s done, trust
him anyway, and when you face
adversities while chasing your dreams,
think about your
