The Little Prince The title character of the story, the little prince ventures

to
other planets in the universe after discovering that the rose he loves has lied
to him. Innocent and curious, the little prince begins to miss his rose as he
explores more, learning that his rose's lies were less essential than the time
they had spent together. He tells his story to the pilot, helping the pilot regain
the perspective of childhood as well.

The Fox The little prince's meeting with the fox is the climax of the
storyit's the moment when the little prince realizes why his rose is so
important to him. The fox is skittish around the prince at first, but he teaches
the prince how to tame him. Afterwards, he shares his secret with the little
prince in the novella's iconic phrase, "One sees clearly only with the heart.
What is essential is invisible to the eye."
The Snake The snake speaks in riddles, and he meets the little prince at the
beginning and the end of his journey on Earth. The snake possesses a deadly
poison that he promises will send the prince back to where he came from, and
at the end of the story, the little prince takes his offer, making a departure
that
he warns the pilot will look "a little as if I were dying."

The Rose/Flower The rose is the object of the little prince's affection. She is
beautiful and vain, given to telling dramatic lies, which prompts the little
prince
to leave his planet and set off on his journey. She apologizes right before he
leaves, but he decides to go anywayeventually, he feels sorry for leaving her
and tries to return to his planet to protect her.

The King The king is the first grownup the little prince meets on his journey.
He is bossy but fair, vowing to make only reasonable demands of his subjects.
He believes, however, that everything in the universeeven the starsis one
of his subjects.

The Conceited Man The conceited man is the second grownup the little

prince meets, and his personality fits his character name. He only wants the
little prince to admire and applaud him, which the little prince finds very
bizarre.

The Tippler The third man the little prince meets, the tippler drowns his
disappointment in himself by drinking. He uses circular logic, telling the little
prince that he drinks to forget that he is ashamed of drinking.

The Businessman The businessman is another grownup the little prince

meets on his travels. He is distracted and busy, attempting to count all the

stars in the sky so that he can own them.

The Lamplighter The lamplighter is a faithful but unhappy grownup, who is

miserable because his job allows him no rest. His planet makes a full turn
every
minute, and in order to keep up, he is constantly lighting or putting out the
lamp. The little prince thinks more highly of him than of the other grownups
because he is the only one who thinks of something beside himself.

The Geographer The geographer is the last man the little prince meets
before he ventures to Earth. The geographer is a scholarly grownup who
spends his life waiting for explorers to venture to his planet so that he may fill
his books. He teaches the little prince the meaning of the word "ephemeral,"
causing the little prince to miss his rose, who he fears is in danger of speedy
disappearance.

Paragraph One -Introduction

Setting/ Characters
The story begins as the pilot recalls his unfortunate airplane accident at the
Desert of Sahara which happened six years ago. The pilot was lonely and
desperate because he was there all by himself with scarcely enough drinking
water to last a week. In this desperate situation, he encounters the little
prince who is a bit eccentric but warm-hearted. While talking with the little
prince, the pilot discovers that the little prince came from a very small planet
called Asteroid B-162 and has a beautiful flower and three volcanoes on his
planets. He discovers that the little prince travelled several planets before
he came to the earth where he met a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a
businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. Also, he finds the little prince
made friends with a fox and learned the great secret of life which is It is only
with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the
eye. (155)
The Little Prince was written by Antoine de Saint Exupery in 1943. At that
time, the world was in turmoil due to the World War II and the author
dedicated the book to his Jewish friends Leon Blum. Even though, the book
does not mention anything about the war, some scholars pointed out that
the author used some symbolisms in this fable. For instance, the baobab
seed and the tree is the depiction of growing of Nazism.
Paragraph Two
Conflicts/ Problems
While talking with the little prince, the pilot discovers that the little prince
has a beautiful flower who tormented him with her vanity. Due to the flowers
deceit, the little prince left his planet and began his journey. While traveling,
he met several people including a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a
businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. However, none of them were
able to become a true friend of the little prince because they were so
preoccupied with their own matters. Later, the little prince regretted of his

decision of leaving the flower and said, I was too young to know how to
love her.( 66)
Paragraph Three- SELL THE BOOK!
I recommend this book to everyone in my class because I have read many
books in the past but none of the books has touched my heart like The Little
Prince. I found the book very profound and didactic. Therefore, I believe the
book will provide many important lessons on life to readers and enrich their
minds. Also, while reading this book, the readers will learn the value of
friendship, truth, innocence, and perseverance.

3. Presentation:
I highly recommend you all to read the book, The Little
Prince because the book contains good moral lessons
about friendship, the truth, and what is essential in life.
The Little Prince left his planet because he was
disappointed at his roses lies . As a result, he travels
many different planets and meets various grown-ups who
have different values in life. First, the little prince met the
king who wanted to be served. The little prince pretended
to be his servant at first ,but got tired of the kings
commend so soon. So he left the planet and went on his
journey. Second, he encountered the conceited man who
wanted to be admired. Just like the king, he only cared
about himself and did not care about the little princes
feeling. So he left the conceited man behind. Third, the
little prince met the tippler who wanted to change his bad
drinking habit but did not have willpower to end it. The
little prince was so disappointed at him due to his bad
habit and the lack of willpower. Fourth, the little prince
met a businessman who was too preoccupied with his

work and did not interested in other things. So he could

not be friend with the little prince. Fifth, the little prince
met a lamplighter who is also too busy with his work. So,
he could not be friend with him either. Sixth, he met a
geographer who recommend him to go to the earth. On
the earth, the little prince became friend with fox and the
pilot. Also, he realizes that his rose was special to him
because it was his rose. There are many parts of the book
I found very touching. Above all, I really like the part
where the fox tells the Little Prince the secret of his life.
That is, It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye. Because you
cannot see it does not mean it is unimportant, you have to
feel with your heart to be able see the truth of the matter.
Thats what I learned the most from this book. And I hope
you all enjoy reading it and found the value of friendship
and essential matters in life.
Thank you for listening!

. I feel every illustration in the book was unique and helped me

understanding the story better. As I finish this book report, I feel the foxs
voice is echoing in my mind. The fox told the little prince a secret that was
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. I agree with the fox
because I believe how we feel about each matter is more important than
what we see in fact.
