Symbolism In The Little Prince

802 Words4 Pages

The Little Prince The Little Prince has taught me more life lessons than any other book I have read. It focuses on philosophy and social criticism. The book, however, is written as a children’s story, but Antoine de Saint-Exupery says in his book that he wants to make sure that this is for adults to read, too. The book uses symbolism throughout the book to symbolize different types of people in today’s society. I would memorize this book to keep protect it from the “Firemen” in Fahrenheit 451 because it would be an easy book to pass on and remember, everyone would be able to understand and comprehend it, and it teaches us very important life lessons. The Little Prince is 68 pages in length with 27 chapters which means it would be very easy to memorize because it is short and it divides itself up into many sections. The book also has illustrations in it to give the reader or teller of the book a way to get the point across even more. There are many quotes that easily stick into the readers mind which helps with memorization, too. My favorite quote from the book is, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye” (52). As soon as I read that quote it stuck with me because it is so powerful. There are countless quotes that automatically stick with me which makes the book very easy to memorize. Not only would The Little Prince be easy for me to memorize, but if I had to tell it to someone, they would be able to easily

    In a book “Among the Hidden” by Margaret Peterson Haddix, symbolism is used to create a powerful feeling with a place or thing.

  • Symbolism In Thomas King's The Truth About Stories

    295 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this literary work, just like in Thomas King's The Truth About Stories, the author discusses, in detail, the story about the 'Sky Woman' who in the other piece was known as 'Charm,' resulting in the creation of "Mother Earth." In my opinion, the author's approach of writing was great to paint a picture of what occurred in a person's mind through the use of symbolism. Although it may seem like any great bedtime story from the first read, if one looks past its basic storyline, they can understand why Indigenous peoples, as well as people in general, like to share it. However, the story was, according to me, very fictional and unrealistic though it may not be to others. The idea of a woman falling out of the sky, onto a turtle's back, then

    Throughout The Princess Bride, the author included a significant amount of symbolism. The six fingered sword is a great example of symbolism in the text.

Inigo's father, Domingo Montoya, was a master craftsman who was commissioned by a powerful noble to create the best sword in all the land. He spent a great deal of time on this sword and expected a reward of equal value.
