My favorite book "the Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is difficult to give a definite answer, which book was for me the main. It so happens that you read and not a trace will remain. And sometimes after reading the book understand that it's only for one phrase, which was found somewhere in the tenth Chapter and read it. There are those who truly teach, and when they read it for the first time, offers something new that you never noticed before. My life as a teacher was the fairy tale "the Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. In ninth grade I read it for the first time, I was astounded with the extraordinary stories, pure and rich thoughts and feelings of the characters.
"The little Prince" - a heartfelt tale with fun content for kids and ideological visions for the adult reader. Of course, I do not want to imitate the hero, despite his integrity and strong character. However, after the first reading, I became more sympathetic attitude to the people around me. Exupery in his creation has shown are universal values, which for the most part adults have long forgotten that they left the country called "Childhood", where everything is so perfect.
When I read "the Little Prince" for the second time, for me, has opened a new vision and understanding of the world. I just realized that each person has a share of responsibility, because without it love dies. And that without loyalty, no friendship. The author expressed in the images of Foxes and Snakes, Desert and Roses hard-power of life, where the world of adult – pilot, the victim of the accident, met with the world of childhood – Little Prince, the master of distant, miniature, unknown to us, the planet lost on the planet Earth. Sad life experience faced with the expectation of everyday problems. Adult world met the world of childhood, a joyless experience life with a foreknowledge of the difficulties of life that lie ahead. Thanks to the sincerity and purity of intentions of the Little Prince begin to see that the world can be not the same what it did adults.
The little Prince travels around the planet Earth, encounters adult – King and the drunkard, the Geographer and Businessman. They are all different and at the same time, so alike. Similar in their moral flaws and imperfections, because they are ruled by selfish start, for all the bad that exists on the earth, gathered these people. It should be noted that all do not even know that it is possible to live differently, to be different, what do not understand the meaning of life and in life in General.
Prince - the traveler, meeting with adults, learns from them, which can be found in the light of vices – arrogance and greed, spiritual blindness, and these flaws win beauty and goodness... wonderful people, these adults, they don't want to notice and acknowledge the beauty of the world, the kindness of the human soul, they have not learned to see with your heart. Because they are so miserable and worthless in the eyes of the little boy because he has this ability to see with your heart.
"One sees clearly only with the heart" - the key phrase of this piece. At least it has become such for me. Only the heart can trust, only it can feel the falseness in relations between people, and understand that in man lies, and the truth.
The tale a sad end, but in my heart after reading the book was left not only sadness-sadness. There was the desire to sincerity, to in adult my life is not extinguished generosity in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, not weakened, and has not left a feeling of responsibility for those we have tamed.
