The Little Prince
I must admit, I have read The Little Prince on more than one occasion. I find it hard to write a "reaction paper" per se, only because the things that a first time reader may react to, I would merely "gloss over" in my search for the more hidden gems contained within the text. I believe I have found several fine examples which give me insight into the characters' and quite possibly the author's minds. I feel, that to completely immerse oneself in this wonderful book, one must forget all the trivial things in the world today, namely anything that is a matter of consequence should be ignored. For example, the cost of a house, calculating stars that a person perhaps may own, etc. I chose to read this book, in my room, on my bed, with no music or TV on in the background, and just a dim little mood lighting. I feel this greatly enhanced my reading experience and allowed me to open my mind to the story.
For me, sunsets symbolize the end of something, a day, most obviously, perhaps the end of a person's life (death?). I can see degrees of "lost innocence". There is no one moment where the little prince loses all innocence in a split second. Surely the little prince has more questions to be answered (remember, the little prince asks questions, not answer them!)? Another strong feeling I get from this book is that of innocence, or rather lost innocence. Oh to be young again! Granted, I may have read this book numerous times, but it gets better each time I read it. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure.
