The second factor is because, no matter how many times he tried to draw a sheep, the little boy didn’t like it, until the narrator made a drawing of a box and said that the sheep is inside.Īfter a long talk, the narrator found out that the little boy (whom he called ‘the Little Prince’ by now) live in a very small planet with a companion of a beautiful rose that he truly cares about. Yet that kid didn’t seem tired, hungry, nor thirsty. The first factor is because he crashed in the middle of nowhere and definitely far from any inhabited region. He was clearly surprised because of many factors. While struggling to fix his airplane, he met a little boy who asked him to draw a sheep. One day, his plane crashed in the desert. They always need to have things explained. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.īut they answered: “Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?” So, his dream of being an artist stopped since then, and became a pilot when he was older. He always think that adults lack imagination eversince he made a drawing of a snake eating an elephant, but apparently everyone thought it was a hat. The book starts with a story about the narrator who ever dreamed about becoming an artist, but then had an awful experience related to it. But actually, the writer Antoine De Saint-Exupery, wrote in the foreword that The Little Prince is a book made for ‘adults who have been children before’. The book itself is really thin, the word choices are relatively easy to understand, and there are so many illustrations in it. For me, it make sense why people thought that way. The Little Prince is one of the most famous classic book, and many people has mistaken it as a children book. I’ve been wanting to write a review about this book since several years ago. Now, since it’s still the beginning of mid-term break, I have a lot of time to do whatever I want and I choose to update my blog with a book review of The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. This months I’ve been so busy with my school assignments and works until it was kind of hard for me to write on this blog. After a month, I finally have a chance to update this blog.
