Hw essay tHeme??

The theme is that the rose is part of the little prince life. The rose is the little prince life the rose is what shines through his whole being like the flame of a lamp, even when he is asleep.

The rose means everything to the little prince more than hundred of roses because that is his special rose that he has watered because it is she that he put under the glass globe becaus it is she that he has sheltered behind the screen. Eventhough the rose is not a person he treats he like one by calling the rose she. The reason the rose or flower is call she because she is delicat like a girl. It is she the rose that he have listened to when she grumbled or boasted or even something when she says nothing. It is her that keeps him happy accompanie and she is the little prince friend.

In other word he talk to the flower as it was human, and he consider her or she as a very close friend. It was the only person that he coulld talk to in his planet. The little prince came from a very mysterious planet very diffrent to earth.

Title: Eliminating the Lighter Shades of Stereotyping
Author: Emmeline Chen
page: Short story pg 21
Summary: The story eliminating the lighter shades of stereotyping is about the chinamen that were protrayed as foolish, Christian converts blindly following a missionary though they possessed a yen to gamble. The point of this story is that if the play portraying African Americans as simpleminded fools with a gamblin streak as they did for the Asia, the people would have bring out a negative response. But no because the stereotype was for Asia and not African American nothing happened.

Personal Response: I think this sort of thing always happens. People sterreotype other people, and is really dumb.

Title: I looked Down on the Edges
Author: Benjamin Baker
Page: Pg 22
Summary: The story I looked down on the Eagles is about her little brother always being the brave one to do dangerous things like for example race down a side of the hill. However, this all changed when her brother wasn't brave to jump a ramp made of solid ice, it stood at least two feet tall at the bottom of the steepest part of the hill. Her brother didn't want to do so she was brave and she had jumped. Well she broke both of bones in her left arm, but she was proud of her self because she knew that she was no longer inferior.

Personal Response In my opinion I think is always good to be brave evethough sometimes it can cause consequences. However i could break armm but still be happy because I was able to do something I was never though I will.

Title: Diner Dandruf
Author: Robert Fulghum
Page: Pg 24
Summary: This story talks about how as a child you have a really easy life. As u grow up and become a adult you have to do the list, clean the sink strainer, plunge out the toilet, wipe runny noses, clean up the floor when the baby throws strained spinach, clean ovens and grease traps and roasting pans, empty the kitty box and scrape up the dog doo etc.. many more stuff . It really hard to be a adult.

Personal Response: I think that it is really hard to be adult you have a lot of work to do and as a kid you have more fun.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized with personal experiences has brought it home".


John Stuart Mill

I think this quoute means that there is a point in life when u learned a lesson, and this lesson coud have changed the way you act, think. You also are able to realized at the end that why now you learned the lesson, why not before, it could have been much better. Also you don't know something until it happens to you. As I still remember does days that I was so dumb, obnoxious and wasn't able to forget the past because of a dumb incident that happened.

So far as i rememeber when I was in elemenatry school, I had a bestfriend, was Ana, we were like sister we always be together. I will always do my project with her, in other words we would never do anything if we weren'together. Everytime one of our classmates asked us if we were sister we will always say yes without even hesiating. Everytime we had a secreat we will always tell each other, it could have been any big secreat but we managed to keep it a secreat. If anyone tried to be mean to her I will always defend her , and she did the same for me. However, everything changed when I reached foruth grade because in fourth grade me and my best friend got seperate from each other. As we got seperate I saw that she started to bed with this girl from her class name jamie . anna to spend more time with her which got me really mad. Everytime I tried to talk to Anna, Jamie will get it the way by chnaging the conversation or by always saying anyways. I felt like punching her with all the anger that i had inside me. However, at the end i got tired and I just moved on, but i still didn't like Jamie. I still talked to Anna but not as much as before.

I graduated from elementary school and went to Junior high school, my best friend, and Anna went to the same school, but in a diffrent academy, but i found out that jamie the girl that i hated so much was going to the same school and was going to be in the same class as me. I started talking to her and she to me because i realized that it was really dum. It was ironic because at the end me and her became best friends , and we did everything together, and we looked back in the pass and looked how we act .

chapter2-Personal Reflection

In chapter 2 of The Little Prince I read about when he had accident with his plane and he landed in Desert Sahara, six years ago, and his engine broke. It took him a really long time to repair the engine because he didn't carry no pasengers, this meant he was all alone by himself. To maintain himslef a live he drank a lot of water. His first night in the desert he went layed on the sandf and felt asleep. However, then a voice had awakened him up. He looked and it was a prince saying to him draw me a ship. He drew him the sheep about three times and still the prince said that doesn't look like a sheep. Then the fourth picture he drew a boy and he said that the sheep was inside, and the prince said "That is exactly the way I wanted it!'This reflects to me the feeling that he was feeling stuck in the dessert with no one to talk to until the prince came to him.

Chapter3

Chapter three is about the little prince asking questions and answering them. However when he ask the little prince, he never answer or reply. Now he had someone to talk to, about everything. Something similar to what had happened to me as it did to him was when he felt lonely and needed someone to talk to, I didn't feel lonely but it was really boring to sit down and no one talking to you, until this girl started to talk to me.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 is about him comparig the adults with the kids. The adults have no imagination then the kids do. He is also is trying to find ouyt where the little prince is from, but he thinks he is from B-612, this number is is actually a planet only astronomer called them like this when they are first discovered.Also when u tell a audlt you have a new friends tehy are never gonan ask u what games he love the best? Does he collect buterflies? What does he do? they always going to ask you how old he is? How much does he weight? How much money he makes? However, they always ask questons that they think is imnportant, but for us is not important at all. I think sometimes adults ask question taht are not useful at all. I think question like the ones that the adults ask doesn't say anything about a person, thats my opinion.
