Reflections on The Little
Prince
基礎英文作文 1Bb 金陽
Although I’ve heard of the book a
long time ago, I never really pick it up and read it or even try to understand
what the book is about until recently. I’m glad I have the chance to read this
amazing piece of work which seems like a children’s bed time story at the first
glance of its cover. Maybe I’m started to becoming like the grown-ups, always
judging things from its cover with the moral standards.
Before I started to get into this
book, I thought it might just be another cheap literature until some of the
words really hit me hard. It’s a strange feeling, but all the sudden I felt somewhat
ashamed by my ignorance. It’s funny to say but The Little Prince had officially become one of my favorites out of
all the books I’ve read.
There is no fancy choice of words or
sophisticated plot in this book but simple dialogues. I was impressed by how
simple and understandable this book is yet it has the power to get people thinking.
I think the reason why I like this book is because I can relate myself to the author
and the little prince.
Sometimes
I found myself caught in the middle their conversation and I would stop for a
while and examine myself from the inside. I often find the satirical comments
given by the little prince in a rather childish tone are sentimental, because
it speaks the truth through a naïve mouth.
