Content abstract-The little prince is an extraordinary elf boy. He lives on an asteroid only a little bigger than himself. Accompanied by him is a little rose that he likes very much. But rose's vanity hurt the little prince's feelings for her. The little prince bid farewell to the asteroid and began his space journey. He visited six planets successively, and all kinds of experiences made him sad. He thinks adults are ridiculous and abnormal. Only on a planet of lamplighters did the little prince find a friend. But the world of a lamplighter is very narrow, and there is no room for a second person except himself. Under the guidance of geographers, the lonely little prince came to the earth where human beings lived.
The little prince found that human beings lack imagination and only repeat what others have said like parrots. The little prince misses the little roses on his planet more and more now. Later, the little prince met a little fox. The little prince conquered the little fox with patience and became close friends with it. The little fox gave the little prince the secret in his heart-the essence of things is invisible to the naked eye, and everything can only be seen with his heart-as a gift. With this secret, the little prince found the spring of life with the pilot in distress in the Sahara desert. Finally, with the help of the snake, the little prince left the earth and returned to his asteroid B6 12.
Fairy tales describe that the little prince was not conquered by the world of adults' deception, and finally found his ideal. This ideal is the love that connects all things in the universe, and this kind of love is just what the world lacks. Therefore, the little prince often shows sad mood. The author St. Exupery said in his dedication: This book is dedicated to the child who grew up in the past.

highlight
1. All adults are children first.
These adults don't know anything themselves, and they have to explain to them all the time. This really bored the children.
3. At this moment, the little prince solemnly said:
"It doesn't matter. I am very small there. "
Then, slightly sadly, he added:
"Go straight ahead, it's not far ..."
But no one believed him at that time because of the clothes he was wearing. Adults are like this.
The astronomer dressed in very beautiful clothes put forward a new argument. Everyone agrees with him this time.
6. These adults like numbers.
7. If you say to adults, "I see a beautiful house made of rose bricks, with geraniums on the windows and pigeons on the roof …", they can't imagine how good this house is. You must say to them, "I see a house worth 100 thousand francs." Then they exclaimed, "What a beautiful house!"
8. And the seedlings of a baobab tree, if pulled out too late, can never be taken off.
9. "One day, I saw forty-three sunsets."
After a while, you say again:
"You know, when people are very depressed, they always like the sunset."
"Forty-three times a day, why are you so depressed?"
The little prince didn't answer.
10. "I don't believe it! Flowers are weak and simple, and they always want to protect themselves, thinking that thorns can show their strength ... "
1 1. "You talk just like those adults!"
This makes me a little embarrassed. But he said sharply and mercilessly:
"You can't say anything ... you mix everything up!"
He was really annoyed. Shaking his head, his blond hair trembled with the wind.
12. The little prince turned pale with anger at the moment.
"Millions of years ago, flowers had thorns. But millions of years ago, sheep were already eating flowers. Thorns are useless, so why should flowers grow thorns? Is this the wrong understanding? Is the war between sheep and flowers not important? Isn't this more important and serious than the explanation of Mr. Fat Red Face? Also, if I know that there is a unique flower in the world, I can't find such a flower anywhere except my planet, and one morning, a sheep didn't even know what it was doing, so it doesn't matter! ? "
13. "If someone falls in love with a unique flower among hundreds of millions of stars, looking at these stars is enough to make him feel happy. He can say to himself,' My flower is on one of the stars …', but if the sheep eats this flower, in his opinion, all the stars will go out at once! Isn't that important? ! "
14. She has carefully prepared for such a long time, but she yawned and said:
"I just woke up. I'm really sorry. Look at my hair ... "
At this moment, the little prince could no longer control his admiration:
"You are so beautiful!"
The flowers said slowly:
"Yes, I was born at the same time as the sun ..."
The little prince is not modest to see this flower, but she is really beautiful.
Then she said, "It's time for breakfast. Please also consider preparing some for me ... "
The little prince was very embarrassed, so he took a watering can and brought a basin of clear cold water to water the flowers.
So, in this way, this flower tortured the little prince with her sensitive and suspicious vanity.
15. "Goodbye." He said to the flowers.
But the flowers didn't answer him.
"Goodbye." He said it again.
The flowers coughed for a while. But not because of a cold.
She finally said to him, "I was really stupid just now." Please forgive me. I hope you can be happy. To his surprise, the flowers didn't complain to him at all. He stood there at a loss and held up the cover. He couldn't understand why she was so gentle and quiet.
"Really, I love you." The flower said to him, "But because of my fault, you didn't pay attention." It has nothing to do with it. However, you are as stupid as me. I hope you can be happy in the future. Put the lid aside, I don't need it anymore. "
"What if the wind comes?"
"My cold is not that bad ... the cool breeze at night is good for me. I am a flower. "
16. "The requirement for everyone should be what they can do. Authority should first be based on rationality. If you order your people to throw themselves into the sea, they must rise up and make a revolution. My orders are reasonable, so I have the right to be obeyed. "
17. The little prince didn't have the courage to admit that he missed this admirable star, especially because there were 1440 sunsets every 24 hours.
18. "But what does' short' mean?" The little prince asked again and again. Once he asks a question, he won't let it go.
"It means: it is in danger of disappearing soon."
"Will my flowers disappear soon?"
"Of course."
The little prince said to himself, "My flower is short-lived. She only has four thorns to resist foreign aggression!" " But I still left her at home alone! "
This is the first time he regretted it, but he cheered up again:
He felt very unfortunate. His flower once told him that she was a unique flower in the whole universe. However, there are five thousand identical flowers in this garden alone!
The little prince said to himself, "if she sees this, she will be very angry ... she will cough desperately and pretend to be dead to avoid being teased." And I have to pretend to take care of her, otherwise she will really let herself die and make me lose face. "
20. said the fox. "To me, you are just a little boy, just like thousands of other little boys. I don't need you. You don't need me either. To you, I am just a fox, no different from thousands of other foxes. But if you tame me, we will need each other. To me, you are unique in the world; I am also unique to you in the world. "
"I began to understand." The little prince said, "There is a flower … I think she domesticated me …" "
……
……
The fox said, "My life is very monotonous. I chase chickens and people chase me. All chickens are the same. So are all the people. So, I feel a little bored. But if you tame me, my life will be full of sunshine. I will recognize a different kind of footsteps. Other footsteps will make me dive underground. But your footsteps will call me out of the cave like music. Besides, look, see the wheat field over there? I don't eat bread. Wheat is useless to me. The wheat fields don't remind me of anything. This is very sad! But you have blond hair. It will be a wonderful thing for you to tame me! The color of wheat is also golden. It reminds me of you. And I will also like to listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the wheat fields ... "
The fox was silent and looked at the little prince for a long time.
"Please ... tame me!" It says.
……,……
2 1. "Nothing is perfect." The fox said with a sigh.
Don't say anything, words are the root of misunderstanding.
23. "If you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, I will feel happy from three o'clock. The closer the time is, the happier I am. At four o'clock, I will be on pins and needles; I will find the price of happiness. "
24. "I got it," said the fox, "because of the color of wheat."
Then, it said:
"Go and see those roses. You will understand that your rose is unique in the world. Then, come and say goodbye to me, and I'll send you another secret. "
25. "You are beautiful, but you are empty." The little prince is still saying to them, "No one can die for you. Of course, my rose, an ordinary passerby thinks she is just like you. However, one of her flowers is more important than all of you, because I watered her. Because I put her in a flowerpot. Because I protected her with a screen. Because I killed the caterpillars on her (except for two or three that turned into butterflies). Because I have heard her anger and pride, and sometimes I even heard her silence. Because she is my rose. "
26. It's simple: you can only see clearly with your heart. Substantial things are invisible to the naked eye. "
27. "It is because you spend time on your roses that your roses become so important."
28. "But you shouldn't forget it. You are now responsible for everything you domesticate. You are responsible for your rose ... "
29. "Only children know what they are looking for."
30. "Even if I am dying, it's good to have a friend! I'm glad I have a fox friend ... "
3 1. "Water is also good for the heart ..."
32. A person can only look with his heart, but the important things are invisible to the naked eye.
33. "The eyes can't see anything. You have to look for it with your heart. "
34. "ah! This will do. " He said, "The children recognize it."
35. "It looks like a flower. If you love a flower that grows on a star, you will feel sweet and happy when you look up at the sky at night. All the stars seem to have flowers. "
36. "Do you know ... my flower ... I am responsible for her! She is so weak! She is so naive. She only has four insignificant thorns to protect herself against foreign enemies ... "
37. No adult will understand that this problem is so important!
38. "Since I live in a star in the sky, since I smile in one of the stars, it seems that all the stars are smiling at you, and you have countless smiling stars!"
39. "You know, it's too long for me to drag this bag. Too heavy. "
40. "You know, thinking about you will warm my heart. I will also look up at the starry sky in the future. All the stars will become wells with rusty wheels, and all the stars will give me water to drink ... "
4 1. Domestication means building relationships.
I'm too young to even know how to love her.
What makes them mysterious and beautiful is what we can't see with the naked eye.
44. Once you tame something, you should be responsible for it, always.

theme
In a word, through the experience of this little prince, the work expounds the views and criticisms of different types of adults in society and puts forward some thought-provoking questions. In particular, the author praised friendship and fraternity through the mouth of the little prince, hoping that people would develop friendship and love each other. In the author's opinion, love should be as hot as the volcano on the planet where the little prince lives, and friendship should be as conscientious as the little prince to root out evil weeds for roses.
There is also some sadness in this work. But this is not the main thing, nor is it overwhelming. The story reached its climax, and this sadness quickly melted into joy. The little prince gave his friend a parting gift: "You will have many smiling stars." The pilot on the earth will hear his favorite baby laughing on a star in the Xinghai, so he will hear all the stars laughing. In this way, the sadness in the work loses its weight, and death loses its horror.
Every time I read The Little Prince, I am moved by this childlike attitude towards the world. How naive, but how pure and sincere. In real life, we are busy all day, like groups of soulless flies, noisy and restless, unable to hear sincere whispers from the depths of our souls. Time goes by, childhood goes away, and we grow up gradually. Years have taken away many memories and eroded the innocence in our hearts. We are addicted to the glitz of the world and focus on the law of interests. We ignore the heavy shackles of the soul, but the more so, the more we realize the nothingness of the meaning of life. I read a lot of modernist works in college, full of desire, alienation and nightmares. These sinister and true portrayal of the world filled people with humble disappointment. However, every time I read The Little Prince, it is like taking a bath in clear water, and my heart becomes clear and bright again.
The Little Prince is a fairy tale with unique twists and turns, poetic and philosophical writing, flashback, clear language and strong readability. Because the author runs through the whole article with love, French critics think this is a poetic fairy tale and the author's nostalgia for friendship.
The Little Prince was published in new york on 1943. This is the most popular fairy tale in the 20th century. It has been translated into 100 languages and can be seen in movies, records and even paper money. Joe Miller, who publishes the American student edition of The Little Prince, said: The Little Prince belongs to this type of book ... which is loved by both children and adults. The imagination, wisdom and emotion deliberately pursued and displayed in the works enable readers of all ages to find fun and benefits and discover new spiritual wealth at any time.
