Reader's Reflection on The Little Prince: Analytical Overview

1. Why is it that nobody believed the astronomer?

Grown-ups has set their priorities, some are right and most are wrong. As per the society labelled a person. Man with suit and tie are being respected and sadly one that wears color faded shirts and jeans are called lowly. What happened with the astronomer is simply prejudice. They judge him based on the way he dresses and not on the content of his discovery. When he came back with a new attire they listened. A manner on how peculiar and complicated grown-ups can be.

2. What does the narrator say about grown-ups?

Grown ups destroy a childs fantasy of life. They tend to cut the chase of their wild imaginations and teach them the reality at an early age. One feedback tells more about a topic, it influences ones dreams and affect the passion they are currently building. The narrator experience that all. Grown ups speaks as if whom they talking to are all the same. A reason for the narrator to interpret them that way.

3. What can you learn from the narrator's encounter with the king?

The narrators encounter with the king is a realization that not all people can be feed with power or authority. In the story, the king uses his power to require compliance in a planet with no one. It just shows that with those power people tend to forget where they come from and was blinded by it. The little prince and the king both live in a planet but the other was living alone. The little prince embodies the people who still remains humane in our world where power matters.

4. What does the lamplighter symbolize?

A lamplighter symbolizes hope. Even though in the story he symbolizes as a grown up who is dedicated yet unhappy of his job. For me, the lamplighter brings hope where the majority welfare are being put in priority. His job is exhausting yet he never give up and continue to fulfill his job. He do that not just for his self but also for others who depends on him.

5. Why is it that the rose is important to the Little Prince?

At first the rose and the little prince story is an unrequited love. One loves the other but is taking for granted nor its feelings is not being returned as the same. Even though it is being named as it is, the little prince love the rose unconditionally, he still treat the rose as his life. As the little prince is too young risk and the rose is conceited and naive there love didn't resulted to an ending we all imagine.

6. What did the Little Prince learn from meeting the fox?

The little prince learn that in every actions and decisions he do he must take responsibility on it. Everything that he started should be finished by him not the other way around. As for his rose, it became dependent on him not because of its vanity but because he let her be one. The fox reminded him the importance of finishing what we started in order to move forward. One can only take a step and feel at ease if those actions being left behind are address.

7. What happened on the eighth day at the desert?

On their eight day at the dessert the little prince and the narrator walk to find a well where they can drink water to ease their hunger and thirst. When they found one, they talk of things and some of their experiences in life. People tend to blinded of some things that make them lose the oppurtunity to discover the essence of living, on who we live for and what we are fighting for. This scene is quite a goodbye for the little prince and the narrator. The time when the narrator went back to fix his plane and was to tell him that, the little prince says his goodbye to him and was being bitten by the snake that cause him to lie helplessly on the sand. In his one year anniversary on coming on earth is the last day they crossed path with each other.

8. Do you agree that it is with one's heart that one can see rightly for what is essential is invisible to the eye?

Yes I agree that it is with one's heart that one can see rightly for what is essential is

invisible to the eye. We can only perceive the essence of things if we can feel it genuinely. Happiness is not being determined on how we see or saw people on social media or on their career in life. The greatest things in life does not revolve on the things one has been being defined. Greatness comes with a fulfillment within us as our feelings are calm and steady. Life has so much to offer and ourselves cannot live for so long to experience. We must cut the chase, what we feel is more important that what other think.

9. Do you think the Little Prince died in the end? Why or why not?

Yes, he did die. The time when the snake bite him he then get back to his planet. We may view the snake as an evil creature but in the story its role is completely different. I say that because he did force the little prince to be back to his planet instead he wait for him patiently to be ready to come back. This just show that not all we see or view as evils remains evil, it just matters on how each one of us encounter one and decide for our judgment on it.

10. How would you end the story differently?

The little prince stop the snake in biting him. On that day he come with a decision. He will stay on planet earth for a little while and fix his self. It is not for the reason that he is running away from all that he left behind but he want to learn a few things about him self more. It is what he forgot for the past years, prioritizing his self. He was too focused on his rose that he slowly loses his self. He wanted just a little more time to reflect and heal at the same in that way he can face his rose with head help up high. Not just a little prince but a man who can take the risk.
