Review of the Little Prince.

There are many people who dream of having a Lamborghini, with a million dollars or precious jewelry. But there are others who dream simply of reaching the stars. Many would associate it with wanting to be an astronaut. But long ago when scientists only dreamed of reaching the moon, there was a man named Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. He was a pilot, at that time it was as close as he could get to the stars, Antoine wanted to be as close as possible to them.

He created a story, which may seem the sweetest they have read, or perhaps the saddest. The first chapter presents us with a fact that left the most of the people, the elephant inside the boa looks like a simple hat. When you find out that there is an elephant you feel like a fool, and knowing that the adults told little Antoine to forget him makes you realize (if you're already an adult) that you might have advised him anyway. Instead of encouraging imagination and talent. They say that a good start is the one that catches the reader, and this one no doubt catches me; In chapter two we can see how Antoine knows the Little Prince. It may be that the first impression that the Little Prince gives is not the most pleasant one, not at least for somewhat imposing people like me. However Antoine does not seem at all strange, but of course, the situation is too rare to do something common. And here we realize the intelligence of Little Prince. Antoine draws his boa with the elephant, the little prince responds as if nothing "No, no, I do not want an elephant inside a boa, a boa is very dangerous and an elephant is very large ..." Maybe it's just been the fact that it is a child. But for an adult it is surprising that he answered with such certainty. If you ever thought something ingenious that a child said, try to remember it forever and learn from it. At the end of chapter two Antoine draws him a box, and there was the perfect sheep. You may not know what is in the head of other people, but there is always a way to do things right.

Already in chapter three we learn that the Little Prince comes from a planet, a small planet. In a certain way the Little Prince acts in a way that the common denominator would be unpleasant. However, that can be expected from someone who is not from this planet. The last sentence is this chapter is "forward you can not always get very far ...", this makes you think, for me it is simply that if you go you always go forward, you can hit a wall, and I say it literally, there is nothing philosophical, chapter four was one that produced me an essence of melancholy, reading a sad truth, this world has been formed no more than appearances. We see the case of the Turkish astronomer, who did not pay attention to him the first time he presented the discovery of Asteroid B612 for loading Turkish clothes, but the second time only because he put on a very elegant suit and also makes us realize about our obsession with numbers and figures We believe that with good figures, we achieve perpetual happiness, I believe that with the right figures you can reach perfection, there are millions of demonstrations in calculation, but this is not the case , one thing is certain in this chapter and that is that even if you have a cancer cure they will only listen to you with good looks; In chapter five we can see what makes the Little Prince look like a more special and rare person. We can say that he talks to us about attacking problems on time because if we leave it for later it can become a much worse problem. As the saying goes, "the bum works twice. In the best case"; Chapter six is ​​the simple one, as you read it you realize the melancholy life of the Little Prince. The love of simple things, that make you happy. The truth left me speechless; Chapter seven is sad, suddenly it became sad. Seeing that the Little Prince cries, not only disarms Antoine, but also yourself. In this chapter only parts of a song came to me that I do not remember its name says, "you can face everything in life, but a tear could disarm you", as happened in this chapter; in chapter eight a flower appears. A whimsical flower. When the Little Prince talks about her, he does it with nostalgia. I leave her because of the words she told him, without taking into account her actions. He almost seems like someone when he starts to fall in love with someone else; pride. In chapter nine we see that pride often makes us do silly things, lose others. Sometimes you have to leave pride behind to have what you want or who you want.

Then we can see all the planets that the Little Prince visits, and all the adults who are there. Everyone is different, but they have one thing in common: "things do not make sense". Here we can see how boring our world is, fighting to be serious makes us stupid. As you grow older you become more and more stupid, you lose the magic of dreaming of reaching the stars.

When arriving at the Earth the Little Prince is with several things while it looks for humans, a serpent who says to him to be more powerful than a king, a solitary flower in the middle of a desert, a very high mountain with an empty echo; a garden of roses that make him feel empty knowing they were equal to his flower, which he thought was unique in his species; a pretty little bitch to which domesticating creating bonds with her. This last coincidence with the fox makes her see that her little rose is unique for the simple fact of having ties with her.

Then I just let myself be carried away by reading. Stop reading it to make a criticism, because I get caught. I did not just read it, I felt it. This is a book that can make you cry or laugh, so easily. It's sweet, but not like a candy, but like a caress. The most tender caress that you have felt, is this reading. The ending may make you think he died, although the Little Prince clearly said no. If you think like an adult, you would think that the Little Prince was a child who died. But I think he is in one of the stars of heaven.
