CHAPTER 10-18
a. The king means he should only assign a duty to a person if the person he ordered could do the duty.
b. It is difficult to judge one’s self because we barely see or notice what we are doing or if we are right or wrong. People can judge us easier because they can see what we are doing or how we are acting.
c. Proud people think that they are always praised because they only care about compliments. They never hear or care about people insulting them. This is not a hearing problem. This talk is about being aware of what people think of us. This is about being aware of judgments.
d. Drinking doesn’t really make you forget something you don’t like. People who drink usually say this they think they forget things when they drink a lot. Well, actually it doesn’t help forgetting at all.
e. People want to be rich so that they will have more money. Sometimes, they don’t care of the things around them because all they can think about is money, money and only money.
f. If someone orders you, you should do it right away. There is nothing more to understand unless of course if you know it’s bad.
g. He understood him because the lamplighter is doing his job well even though it meant no rest for him. I agree with the little prince, the lamplighter is very industrious and he does his work well. He does not leave his work. He is sacrificing.
h. Most adults just command. They do not care about anything except for facts and information. The geographer commanded the little prince to explore about the earth right away without even thinking that the earth is too big for the little prince to explore.
i. The pilot described the earth as an extraordinary planet. Men occupy a very small space in the earth even though the earth is big. I agree with the pilot. The earth indeed is not an ordinary planet. Since most of the people are selfish, they don’t care if other men will have little place to stay.
j. For me, the snake is trying to make the little prince confused. He is always making riddles that the prince doesn’t understand well.
k. In Chapter 18, the flower stayed in the desert even though it does not have an account. The men, who were stronger than the flower, were nowhere to be found. This means that a person might look weak but inside they are very strong people and possesses something that one cannot see.
