My Assignment in Chapter 1-9 (I- Archimedes)
Related to country: Philippines


a. There are many happenings in the Little Prince's life. To start with, I was surprised to see a drawing of a hat. But, as i read the story I was surprised that it was not a hat! In the story, the pilot drew a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. As the pilot shows the drawing to the grown-ups, they would say that it was a hat and nothing should be afraid of. So, he decided to draw another one. His drawing was a boa constrictor with an elephant inside its body. The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise the pilot to lay aside his drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote himself instead to geography, history, arithmetic & grammar. But, as he meet the little prince and shows his drawings ti him, he was surprised that the little prince recognized it as a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. His thinking about the little prince that he was just like the grown-ups, changed. So, in my opinion, we should understand more about the children and other things in this planet. It may look simple but if you really understand it, there is an extraordinary thing inside. Never under estimate the things that may look simple to your eyes.

b. In the part that the little prince requested the pilot to draw a sheep for him, I was really confused. The pilot drew different faces of a sheep, but still it was not the sheep the little prince was looking for. Until the pilot looses his temper and drew a box. I was shocked! It was the thing that the little prince was looking for! The little prince just wanted a box that has a sheep inside. Or as I understand it in real life, one should have a shelter that he or she can live in.

c. When the turkish man presented his discovery about the Asteroid B 612, no one believed him. But when an elegant man presented the work, everyone believed him. Not just because a man dresses elegantly, everything he said is true. It is not right to underestimate a man who is poorly dressed. This just proves that, grown-ups only believe in the people who are elegantly dressed and respectfully recognized.

d. Adults can only say that a house is beautiful whenever you told them the price of the house. If you told them that the house is worth a million, they would absolutely say that the house is beautiful. This only tells you that grown-ups only care about figures or to be specific "MONEY".

e. Baobabs are plants that can cover the little prince's whole planet. When they are still small, you should pull them to prevent them from growing. This only tells you that baobabs are like problems in our life, it starts from small then it grows very big that can even ruin your life. Just like the little prince's planet, it is covered with baobabs.

f. The little prince got mad when the pilot said the line, "Matter of great consequence". The little prince thought that the pilot what different in all the people that he met just like the grown-ups. The grown-ups are not really busy in the matters of consequence, they just made reasons so that people can say that they are great because thy make themselves busy.

g. Maybe, you asked your self what is the meaning of the line, "it is such a secret place, the Land of Tears"? Well, in my opinion, it is a happy land in the outside, but full of tears in the inside. If you go deeper and deeper in that land, you will discover the true feelings of the person living in it. It may be full of happiness or maybe full of sadness.

h. In my opinion, the volcanoes in the story represents as our family. They should be taken care of in order to keep it complete.

i. The little prince is the one who uttered the line, "I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterfly". You must not destroy all the things that you think is bad fir you. Maybe one day, it can give you advantage too.

j. She is ashamed to be laughed even if she is wrong.Some people hide there wrong actions because they are ashamed to be laughed at and they cannot accept the truth. But telling the truth is not bad at all, it gives you confidence.

k. The little prince and the flower are like family. The little prince always took care of her flower every time. The flower also shows appreciation of what the little prince is doing.
