A Book that Impacted Me Most I don’t remember the exact year I first read The Little Prince .Though the golden snake in the book plays a cameo role , I never forget the scene that he flashed kied gently on the little prince’s ankle.It made me be afraid to reread this book.
Later, I listened a Michael Wong’s song named Fairy-tale Story, the prince in his song is different from the prince in The Little Prince, the prince in the song is the same as Andersen’s tales’ princes, they all have happy endings.
However, I think The Little Prince is a sad story.There is a saying: There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes.Now, let me talk about my reading feeling.This simple story flies over every corner of the world: a pilot (the narrator) who had an accident with his plane and crashed in the Desert of Sahara then he met the little prince from the planet B-612, and the narrator listened little prince’s travel experience of seven planets.On the seven planets, he met a variety of persons.They are the king, the conceited man, the busineman, the tippler, the lamplighter, the geographer and so on.
The Little Prince is a story belongs to adults who have childlike innocence.because children don’t understand the little prince’s deep sadne.This is not so much a fairy tale, as it is a tragedy.This story tells the grow-ups’ world is full of empty，lost and loneline with kids’ perspective.Among the story, the alcoholic is impreive.He was surrounded by a pile of beer bottles when the little prince saw him, and prince asked him why he is drinking, but he answered he want to forget his shame of drinking.This short planet visit plunged little prince into deep puzzled.He think the grow-ups are certainly very, very odd.In kids\' eyes, beautiful things must look with heart.But the adults pay more attention on things’ appearance that is just a shell and they don’t believe the eyes are blind and the heart is true.
Through this story, it also made me understand what’s the love---love\'s more mineral, more dense, more bitter and more weighty than the earth\'s profoundest matter.
When I first read The Little Prince, I can’t understand the mean of love and never to think why should the little prince leave alone since he love his rose so deeply.For years, I reread the story and think about it.The simple true was first love.The little prince didn’t know how to love and It was difficult to make him understand the rose’s heart, so it may lead to misunderstanding and hurts from time to time.He leaved his planet because he can not accept the rose and himself.
This is why the little prince don’t know he have to leave : at that time, he had no idea he was in it.The little prince don’t understand the meaning of tame until he met the fox later.Then he produced the endle yearning for the roses and realized his responsibility.\"Do you want to be domesticated?\" For me, this is a profound question.In the book, the little prince met a fox and invited the fox to play with him, but he was refused.The fox told him that he was not tamed.“what does that mean--tame?” little prince asked.The fox answered:” it means to establish ties: to me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys.And I have no need of you.And you, on your part, have no need of me.To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes.But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.To me , you will be unique in all the world.To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”
Gradually the little prince was beginning to understand, because he remembered his rose and he thought his rose had tamed him.So he chose to go back to his planet in the end.But to the fox, the little prince’s farewell will make her sad, but the hurts because of love, she should learn to accept it gradually.I believe there are full of hurts within serious and true love.
As long as the little prince flied to different planets and met a variety of persons can he understand himself and his rose.So I think traveling is a good way to experience life.
