The Little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is both a pioneer of aviation and a well-known French

writer. He was born in Lyon, France, in 1900. At an early age, he dreamed of a life of

adventure and wanted to become a naval officer. Finally, in 1927, after serving as a

mechanic, Saint-Exupéry became a pilot, opening up new air routes over the

Mediterranean Sea, North Africa, and the Sahara Desert. Because of the danger of

flying, he had a number of accidents, but he escaped any major injuries.

Themes, Motifs & Symbols

Themes

Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.

The Dangers of Narrow-Mindedness

The Little Prince exposes the ignorance that accompanies an incomplete and narrow-minded perspective. In Chapter IV, for example, when the Turkish astronomer first presents his discovery of Asteroid B-612, he is ignored because he wears traditional Turkish clothing. Years later, he makes the same presentation wearing European clothing and receives resounding acclaim. Because the three-petaled flower described in Chapter XVI has spent its whole life in the desert, it incorrectly reports that Earth contains very few humans and that they are a rootless, drifting people.

Book Review

From the article, we can learn about Professor Huang’s attitude of learning and life.

Many of us like to run with the flow and just follow the road our parents designed for us. We came to the college not because we want to increase knowledge. Don’t have the courage to enter the society and want to enjoy the school life at ease, which is the reason. After the college entrance examination, we lose our aims. Books are thrown aside; study is no longer our top priority. Computer is much more popular than book. More freedom we have, lazier we are. All we expect that we can pass the exam rather than get high grades.

What do I write about you Jane? Words fall short when I try to. Jane, you are so much a part of me as I am yours.

You are so much a part of women who lived in obscurity centuries before Bront? breathed life into you. You are so much a part of women who are alive at present and so much a part of women yet to be born. You are so much a collective chorus of voices than just a single one. You are so much an inexorable force which builds up in intensity over the course of the narrative. You are so much an embodiment of the feminine spirit and not just an ordinary looking, puny little girl of barely twenty with grand world views and ideals. Jane, you are not only the essence of womanhood at its best but the finest specimen of humanity - so refined, so just, so fragile yet so iron-solid. So full of scorn yet so humble. So elegant even in utter distress.

“父亲”美国梦的缘起缘灭

——舍伍德·安德森《鸡蛋的胜利》解析 《鸡蛋的胜利》是美国著名的小说家舍伍德·安德森传世佳作之一。舍伍德·安德森生于美国俄亥俄州卡姆丹镇，后移居到克莱德镇，而且他的很多小说就以克莱德镇为背景进行创作，《鸡蛋的胜利》就是其中一篇。舍伍德·安德森能洞悉人们是如何追求美国梦的，也明了他们梦想是如何破碎的。在这篇小说的主人翁是“父亲”，一个本性天生乐观、热情，后来变得习惯性地沉默与失意的男人。安德森通过对“父亲”由原来胸无大志到后来雄心壮志再到最后梦想破碎的简单的描写，点明了本文的主题：美国梦的破灭；而文中的“鸡蛋”则可以说是美国梦的化身。那么，美国梦到底指什么呢？是什么刺激了“父亲”美国梦的产生？有时什么使得他的美梦破产了呢？本文将针对这些问题对《鸡蛋的胜利》进行解析。

首先，我们来探讨一下什么事“美国梦”？所谓的美国梦是指一种信任只要在美国经过努力不懈的奋斗便能获得更好生活的理想，亦即人们必须透过自己的工作勤恳、勇气、创意和决心迈向饭桶， 而非依附于特定的社会阶级和他人的援助。通畅这代表了人们在经济上的成功或是企业家的精神。在《鸡蛋的胜利》一文中，“父亲”的美国梦就是出人头地，能有所成功。所以，为了实现他的美国梦，他展开了他的冒险之旅：养鸡和开饭馆。但是，因为各种各样的原因，两个计划都失败了。一系列沉重的打击使得“父亲”的激情彻底消退，这也标志着他的美国梦彻底破灭。
