Chapters 19-27

a. If you were to organize the 100th Year Anniversary of the Little Prince Publication, what Little Prince-related activities would you organize and why?

I would prefer the essay writing contest with the theme “Expressing Yourself through Creative Writing because I believe that one can be calm and one can forget about problems through writing. There, they can have the freedom they want and they can express their own outlooks, mostly with relation to the Little Prince.

b. What adult-quality does the Little Price have? What child-like qualities he has? Would you recommend this book to adults or children? Why?

He has the adult-quality of being so problematic. He asks so many questions and doesn’t stop until he finds out the answers to them. On the other hand, he has the child-like quality of being so annoying. He bothers people even when they are very busy just to find out the answers to his questions.
I recommend this book to adults so that they may see how children can be like and they can learn to understand them. And they can summarize the story for the youngsters so that the children may understand better since they do not know the meaning of the deep words yet.

c. What life story of the author Antoine de Saint Exupery is related to his novel?

Maybe his experiences and encounters in times of trouble in is life. He learned to share it through writing his novel because he wants to inspire others to also do the same as he did, like having mush patience.






d. What happened to the Little Prince at the end of the story?

The Little Prince had to leave. And so, he disappeared. Though the pilot succeeded to catch up with him, he still didn’t accomplish on stopping him from leaving. The Little Prince left without a trace with the pilot thinking that he has gone back to his own planet.

e. Why didn’t the pilot tell his companions about his true feelings when they finally found him? How is he related to our life when we conceal our true feelings from others?

He didn’t tell his companions about what he feels deep down inside him because he was sad to see the Little Prince gone. For the long time they had been together, the pilot had also treated the Little Prince as his own and they had shared much together. But to see the Little Prince gone, he surely was sad but he still hopes that the Little Prince is safe.

f. What important message or truth about life can you get from the following lines?

1. “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

The significance of the message is indeed very important. One must surely know the other before jumping to conclusions. You need to look down into one’s self before you criticize. For you will never know somebody very well until you have learned to open up your greatest treasure, your heart. You may not see how special one can be because you need to open and listen to you mind and heart, dictating yourself the right thing to do in order to be awaken from your deepest slumber.

2. “I am responsible for what I have tamed.”

There is a connection between the tamer and the one being tamed. He is responsible for it because what becomes of the one being tamed was done by him. Just as the same, you are responsible for your own doing.


3. “Words are the source of misunderstanding.”

Words are our way of communicating to others. We can never understand one another if we just act out. But through this kind of communication, we sometimes do not notice that the person whom you are talking to is slowly getting hurt. You begin to offend that person, causing him or her to not like you. We should be careful of our words for words become your actions and actions reflect the kind of person you are.

4. “What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides
its well.”

Being unique is one of the best assets a person can have. Because it is through this characteristic that people get to know you. Everyone has a hidden talent beneath them. And you should learn to figure that out by yourself. Do not waste it. You should be thankful that talent was given to you. There are many other people wanting that talent. Learn to use it well so that people will learn to look into you deeper and they will discover you are indeed special.

5. “I thought I was rich with one flower, that was unique in all
the world; and all I had was one common rose.”

Sometimes, to see is to believe. Do not believe right away of what people tell you for they can sometimes lie. If you allow them to lie to you, it is just like you allowed them to destroy and influence you. You should know better. Be smart. Do not allow them to fool you.


6. “If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at
the sky every night.”

We think that what we see is already the most important thing. But the truth is, the most important thing is the thing that is not seen. For we should learn to open our hearts and mind for us to be able to look deep inside ourselves and realize because if one is far, you can never grab the chance to look inside one person.
