OUTLINING
PARAGRAPH OUTLINE

I. Character of The Little Prince

The Little Prince is a naive and innocent extraterrestrial traveler that the narrator meets in the Sahara Desert. Saint-Exupery has the prince hop from adjacent planet to neighboring planet until
he sets foot on Earth, contrasting the youthful nature with distinct adult traits. The prince encounters a distinct kind of adult on each planet, exposing their traits and frailties. But the little
prince learns to be a student as well as a teacher once he arrives on Earth. The tiny prince gains insight into the meaning of love from his companion the fox, and he then imparts this
knowledge to the narrator.

II. Plot and summary

The narrator presents himself as a man who discovered as a child that adults are not creative or perceptive. He's landed in a desert after crashing into the ground as a pilot. The narrator answers
a tiny boy's request for a painting of a sheep when he meets him. The boy's home planet is revealed to the narrator, who refers to him as the young prince. which the storyteller thinks is
asteroid B-612. The little prince tells the narrator about his life throughout the course of the following several days. The prince spends his time plucking out baobab saplings on his tiny
asteroid-planet, which is no larger than a house, in case they grow large enough to swallow the planet. One day, a prince falls deeply in love with an anthropomorphic rose that grows on the
earth. But the prince walks away when his frustration with her conceit and demands becomes too great.

As the prince visits a sequence of asteroids, he encounters adults who have been reduced to objects. The first is a king who demands allegiance but has no people under his rule until the prince
shows up. The only person living on the next planet is a haughty guy who only seeks praise from the prince. After that, the prince encounters an alcoholic who tells him that he needs to drink
to get over his feelings of guilt over drinking. The prince meets a businessman on the fourth planet who claims to be the owner of the stars, thus it's critical that he understands the precise
number of stars.

The prince then comes upon a lamplighter who, despite the fact that his planet rotates so quickly that dark and dawn both happen once every minute, obeys rules requiring him to light a lamp
every evening and put it out every morning. At last, the prince reaches a planet where a geographer lives. But since the geographer's only job is to document what he learns from explorers, he
has little knowledge of his own world. When the prince brings up the flower, the geographer responds that flowers are not documented since they are fleeting. The prince is then asked to
describe his own world. The young prince should come to Earth, the geographer advises.
III. Theme

The Little Prince's central message is the value of looking past appearances to uncover the true significance and purpose of something. The prince learns from the fox how to see with his heart
as well as his eyes.

Saint-Exupery is quite critical of several aspects of human nature throughout the entire book. He contends that people miss the important things in life, like as beauty, love, and friendship,
because they are too consumed with money, power, and technology. People rush from place to place looking for something, but because they look for the wrong things, they are never happy
where they are and rush onward again, much like the trains that the switchman controls. This is because they do not take the time to love others and notice the little wonders of the world. Like
the geographer, people are also tricked into thinking that numbers and statistics are significant; but, numbers and facts frequently conceal the truth and prevent people from realizing what life
is really all about.

IV. Analysis

Adults are negatively portrayed in The Little Prince as being incredibly narrow-minded. Children, on the other hand, acquire wisdom by curiosity and a willingness to learn about both the
outside world and their own self. The secret that the fox reveals to the young prince embodies the central idea of the fable. "It is only within the heart that one can see rightly: what is essential
is visible to the eye."

More than 250 languages have translations of The Little Prince. It was also made into radio plays, movies, ballets, and theater in many other nations. The movies included animated and
musical versions.
