1. Which one among the adults the Little Prince meets do you find the most significant to discuss? Why
Among the adults that the Little Prince meets, the most significant one would be the geographer. The geographer was the wisest out of all the other adults. He told the Little Prince that he had a job that took much knowledge to do. The old geographer also starts inquiring about the Little Princes planet. During his visit to the geographers planet, he realizes that My flower is ephemeral& and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world! And I left her alone with me! (chapter 15). He realizes this due to the geographers words about flowers being ephemeral. As said by the words of the geographer, ephemeral means something or someone who is threatened with the near disappearance. So that would mean that the Little Princes rose would eventually disappear. Therefore, the geographer is the most significant adult that the Little Prince met because he was the one that led the Little Prince to realize that his flower threatened to disappear soon.
2. For the Little Prince to go back to his planet, he must first die. Would you consider this an act of sacrifice or an act of foolishness? Justify your answer.
It can be said that the Little Prince dying to return to his planet is an act of sacrifice. It is an act of sacrifice because he loved his rose so much that he was willing to take the bite of the snake to return back home. In other words, he went through the pain of the poison to be reunited with his rose once again. In here You have good venom? Are you sure you will not make me suffer for a long time? (chapter 26) the Little Prince was making sure that his sacrifice for the rose was worth it. Thus, the death of the Little Prince is an act of sacrifice because he was willing to go through the pain from the snakes poison so that he could reunite with his beloved rose on his planet.
3. If you were to create another adult that the Little Prince would meet, who would it be and why?
If I were to create another adult that would meet with the Little Prince, I would like him to meet a man with great imagination. This man with great imagination would be called The Dreamer as he would dream about the millions of possibilities in life. The Little Prince should meet the dreamer because throughout his journey in the book, he has never met an adult that has a wide imagination. As he said after his visit to the business man, The grown-ups are definitely quite extraordinary (chapter 13). It is true that grown-ups he met are quite extraordinary when it comes to their personalities and habits. Although the Little Prince met a variety of adults, he hasnt realized that not all adults lack imagination. In conclusion, the Little Prince should meet the dreamer as he would realize that adults can also have a sense of imagination.
4. Choose one among the object characters below and write what important message you learn from it.
a. Rose
- b. Baobabs
- c. Drawing # 1
- d. Fox
- e. Sunsets
- f. Thousands of roses
- g. Stars
- h. Your own choice
From the fox, I learned that the time we spent caring for others is what makes them special to us. As the fox said Its the time you lost for your rose that makes your rose so important (chapter 21). From this statement, we realize that if we spend time with others, we would build a connection that will make us feel important to each other. In the case of the Little Prince, he has established a strong connection with the rose that blooms on his planet which made her special to him. Meanwhile, the thousands of roses in the garden on Earth are not as special to the Little Prince because he didnt spend much time caring for them and trying to get to know them. Thus, an important takeaway from the fox is that the time we spend with others is what makes them important and special to us.
5. Watch this YouTube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Dk793z7uU. Compare and contrast the video and the novel The Little Prince on how they perceive adults and their differences with children.
After watching the video, how kids perceive adults are similar to how the Little Prince perceives adults. The kids in the video mentioned about adults being too busy with work, not having enough fun and not trying new things that often. Meanwhile, the Little Prince thought that adults were quite extraordinary and bizarre. The Little Prince also discovers that adults can be very serious and busy that they dont even notice the things around them as the business man said Hey? Youre still here? & I have so much work! I am serious, I do not amuse myself with nonsense! (chapter 13). Compared to the Little Princes thoughts, the kids thought of adults more in the context of reality with their jobs, worries, responsibilities and so on. The difference of adults and children is that adults have more responsibilities so they are busier, meanwhile children have less responsibilities and they enjoy having fun. In conclusion, there is a difference between the kids in the video and the Little Princes thoughts about adults however, they can both agree that adults can be very busy at times and that they dont think about the things around them.
