This is a fairytale whose distribution volume is only second to The Bible. It’s been translated to versions of many other languages. And I gather there must be something special, something really great about it. It’s this conviction that drove me to read it at the first beginning. Well, with due respect to the author, I failed to see how this fairytale be worthy of our attention, despite the fact that many readers claimed this book to be designed for adults.
Anyway, as a well-acknowledged book, it must possess unique feature to maintain it’s position. And it’s reputation and popularity will by no means be destroyed by what an unknown man says. I will talk about the main contents of the book, and the inspiration it renders as usual.
This book mainly tells us the experience of a prince from a tiny planet, who traveled to many other planets and finally came to the earth and met the pilot in a desert. The prince and the pilot became good friends, and the pilot gradually got to know the feeling and experience of his friend. Before he came to the earth, little prince had been to other 6 little planets where he made acquaintance with some strange people. 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. These six people each represented one kind of person like us. The author satirized people’s conceit, emptiness, fakeness, innocence and blindness through the tone of a child.
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”.
When I was a child, I was definitely a good boy who went home on time after school and did his homework and never tried anything without mom’s permission. And now I am a grown-up, and still I am a good man, at least, that’s what I heard. Sometimes when I was lonely and I began to think about my childhood, then all the happiness and care-free life came back to me as it were yesterday. Kids that once accompanied me during my childhood now become fathers and mothers of their kids and I myself am a child no more. Thinking about all these things have made me moody. There’re changes happening in our lives whether we are happy about it or not.
People told me life is a journey which will never stop once it’s started. What’s left behind are happiness and sorrow, pride and shame, success and regret. There’s good old time to reminisce and there’s sad hours that reminds us of the pain. Your feeling makes them real, and you know you lived.
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.
小王子英文读后感
Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet， I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales， which acpany 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 plex. “I”， the narrator of the story， is 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 overe 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”， bees 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 bees 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
