3. 
ANTOINE DE
SAINT-EXUPERY
A pioneer of aviation and a
well-known French writer.
He was born in Lyon,
France, in 1900. At an
early age, he dreamed of
a life of adventure and
wanted to become a naval
officer.

5. An aircraft pilot crashes his plane in
the Sahara Desert, far from civilization.
There, he is unexpectedly greeted by a
young boy nicknamed "the little prince." The
prince has golden hair, a loveable laugh, and
will repeat questions until they are answered.

6. While the narrator/aviator attempts to
repair his plane, the prince recounts his
life story. He begins describing his tiny
home planet --- a house-
sized asteroid known as "B-612" on
Earth. The prince shares that his planet has a
rose and three volcanoes.

7. The prince then shares that he has
traveled from planet to planet, meeting
different and unique individuals. Since
the prince visited six other planets, each
of which was inhabited by a single,
irrational, narrow-minded adult, each
meant to critique an element of society.

8. The story of The Little Prince shows that people do
find the truth by seeking it with their hearts and
minds, rather than just paying attention to what they
can see on the surface.
The Little Prince is full of sad things and about
innocence. Sure, there's joy, friendship, love, and
understanding but all of that is touched by sadness,
especially once we get to the end of the book.

9. Every time the characters come closer to
understanding, they come closer to loss. Usually, it's not
until the characters say goodbye or part, that they
realize their love for one another.
The rose didn't tell the prince she loves him until they
say goodbye. Similarly, even though the fox wanted to
be tamed, he didn't know the full pleasure or pain of it
until the prince left him. And the narrator/aviator is no
exception. By the time the narrator writes down his
story, it's been six years since the prince left him
behind. Although he can hear his friend's laughter in the
stars, that's not the same as hearing it in person.

10. It is about the paradoxes of adulthood and the
loneliness of growing up. It’s a story about the
naivety and pureness of youth teaching an
adult to find joy in simple things. It explores
love, friendship, and loss. The Little Prince
makes observations about life, adults and
human nature.
