The Little Prince and us
THE LITTLE PRINCE often comes to the conclusion, how strange,
unjust and inconceivable the world of grown-ups is to the children.He comes to that conclusion when he meets a King, a Drunk, a merchant... - they have a lust
for power, they like to give orders, some have an open ear for praise only and wish to be admired, others are ashamed of themselves, some have work over their heads and it's of no use to anyone.
It seems to me that the grown-ups are in some circumstances unjust to us children, for example: I can't understand that my father always stands on the side with others when I do or say something my way and they have some other opinion. Sometimes teachers are strange: they expect from us to know things we have only just been lectured. They seem not to understand that we are different by our abilities, sometimes they don't take us seriously or they don't listen because they have too much to work. Kristjan
StamatovičMy mother acts strangely sometimes: if I am invited to a birthday party, she sometimes lets me go or if we quarrel she doesn't. Sometimes both my parents are strange: if my sister takes something that belongs to me or breaks something or something gets lost, they never say anything to her, they always say she was too small to know what she was doing.

What happens when the Little prince finds out that everything is transitory?
What does transitory mean to you?When the Little prince finds out about the meaning of transitory he becomes worried
about his rose on his planet, he becomes afraid of what might happen to it.
All things pass sometimes: a wish for success, for a toy, school,a film, days, months, years, summer, autumn, winter, joy and luckily sadness too, young love and.life. Kristjan
StamatovičMy understanding of the word ransitory is in these words: "What comes must go."
And that all living beings do not exist just like that and there is some meaning to it.
Uttering this word: transitory I become frightened, just saying it I become scared.Sanja

How do you explain the foxes statement tat the rose was so precious to him because of the time
he had sacrificed for it? What is precious to you that you sacrifice your time for it and how do you sacrifice yourself?The rose was precious to the Little prince because he spent most of his time with it, talked to it, watered it, covered it so it was not cold and took care of it as much as he could.
To me my computer means everything because I spend a lot of time with it. I always keep it clean, I take care that no viruses come inside, that it doesn't break, I allways upgrade it, I write on it and print, browse the internet and add different musical programs. Kristjan
StamatovičMy little sister is precious to me, because I spend one hour every day with her teaching her how to write. Sanja

In this chest JOY is being kept, it is almost like the Pandoras box.
When my mother gets angry with me, when my boyfriend doesn't call me, when there is a rainy day, when things at school don't go very well I open the little chest with the things of my childhood: a pink birthday bracelet, my little slippers in which I first walked, the golden pendant with a birthdate, clover with five leaves. These things remind me of my childhood that my mother told me about. It makes me happy and fills me with joy.
