The Little Prince, a very good book that I highly recommend.

Wow, havent heard that in AGES

I read it when I was like five

Beautiful story. Very beautiful indeed, and perhaps the most inspiring I've ever read. A line of this excerpt just so happens to be my senior quote, in fact.

Oh my goodness

Will you ever stop changing your blog title?

Nice hair, BTW.

Le Petit Prince?

-Nuju Metru

The Little Prince?

Man, they need better children's books titles, like The Little Mongol Warlord, The Little Saracen Assassin, or The Little Highlander. But The Little Prince? Man, who cares about Princes?

That book gave me the creeps.

It has too much deep stuff. :/

That's weird. Here at my school 7th graders are forced to read it and they hate it. >> I never had to read it though.

Sometimes, hate is the appropriate response.

Yeah, I miss the 9 skin.

I must say, Bfa, your best yet. I highly recommend you read Flowers for Algernon, which is just as tragic as The Little Prince.

Flowers for Algernon was far more tragic in my eyes. The Little Prince ended happily-- the prince went back to his home to see his flower. And "it was not such a heavy body." If the story had stated that he had died, it would have been tragic, for the wonderful story would have ended for no reason, just "cut off" after his death. But if the story teaches you anything, it is that he did not die, for "the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart..."

In Flowers for Algernon, the tragedy at the end is terrible and depressing because the main character comes to understand it before it happens. That he can understand it without any apparent delusions is heartbreaking, because it demonstrates that the fact does exist for him to understand-- the exact opposite of the ending to The Little Prince, where it becomes clear that nothing material exists, not even death.
