    Chapter IX: Little Prince and his flower said “goodbye” because of his departure. The flower told him she loves him and she wasn´t afraid of wind, cool nights, or big animals, in their planet, because she was strong and she had four claws. She suggested him: “Try to be happy, you have decided to go away.” She didn´t want him to see her crying because she was a proud flower.
    Chapter X: Little Prince visited asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329 y 330 in order to add to his knowledge. Asteroid 325 was inhabited by a king. The king was old and alone, he didn´t have people who obey him. The most important that the king said was: “It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others. The Little Prince get bored and took his leave and continued on his journey.
    Chapter XI: The second planet was inhabited by a conceited man who needed someone to admire him but Little Prince went away and he continued on his journey. He didn´t speak too much because “conceited people never hear anything but praise”
    Chapter XII: The third planet that the Little Prince visited was inhabited by a tippler who was drinking to forget he was ashamed of drinking. Little Prince went away puzzled and he continued on his journey.
    Chapter XIII: The fourth planet visited by Little Prince belonged to a businessman who was concerned with matters of consequence like quantities, millions, and additions. The businessman thought that the stars were his own things because he counted and recounted them. The Little Prince and the businessman can´t speak too much because “on matters of consequence” the Little Prince had ideas which were very different from those of the grown ups. The Little Prince continued on his journey; he thought grown ups are altogether extraordinary.
    Chapter XIV: The fifth planet that the Little Prince visited was the smallest of all where a lamplighter lived alone. Little Prince thought about a lamp may be like a star and the lamplighter sends the flowers and the stars to sleep. He doesn´t seem to the Little Prince, ridiculous. Little Prince was sorry most of all to leave this little planet because it was the best every day with 1440 sunsets.
    Chapter XV: The sixth planet that Little Prince visited was inhabited by an old gentleman; he was a geographer who knows the location of all the seas, rivers, towns, mountains and deserts. But the geographer couldn´t tell the Little Prince many things about his own planet because only the explorers make recollections of their travels. The geographer wasn´t interested in speaking about flowers because he told the flowers are ephemeral and he only knew matters of consequence. Little Prince had a moment of regret and went away, thinking of his flower.
    PERSONAL OPINION: I enjoyed these chapters about the Little prince´s journey looking for more knowledges in six different asteroids where he met six different men who make the Little Prince Know what people call matter of consequence. Nobody wanted to speak about flowers. I think Little Prince felt Sorry to know some men like those.
    The most I liked was Chapter IX . The flower loved the Little Prince but when he told her he was going on a journey, she told him: “Try to be happy, Don´t linger, you have decided to go away. Now go”. And when Little Prince Knew the six different planets, he was thinking on his flower. Flowers, love, and sunsets are very important for Little Prince.
    I didn´t like that the king, the conceited man, the tippler, the businessman, the lamplighter and the geographer are alone people, they don´t live happy, nobody and nothing make them feel happy.

    Hi.
    Im going to talk about the Little prince book.
    The Little prince decides to leave his planet, and decides to take advantage of the flight of a flock of birds to leave his world. Before going away, it cleans the volcanoes, prunes the baobabs and says goodbye of the flower, which says to him that it loves it and asks for excuses him for not having made understand, at the time that it reproaches the Little prince to have been so silly as she. The flower purifies the Little prince in order that it divides without it sees her to cry.

    The Little prince start a travel to others asteroids. The first one that he visits is lived by a king, who shows off to show a great power but who at the same time demonstrates to lack subjects to exercise it. He asks him to the Little prince to remain with him, but the Little prince decides to continue his trip.

    The second planet that the Little prince visits was lived by the conceited one, whose only desire is that they acclaim it and admire it. The Little prince, before leaving it, asks him why, without obtaining response.

    The following planet visited by the Little prince was lived by a drinker, the intoxicated one who drinks to forget that there has shame to drink, which leaves the perplex Little prince.

    Next the Little prince visits a planet lived by a businessman, who deals with the stars: it counts them, registers them, in end, possesses them. The Little prince him increpa that it is not of any usefulness for the stars, leaving the disconcerted
    businessman.

    The following planet was lived by a lamplighter and his lantern, which was igniting and extinguishing fastly, since his planet was turning with a lot of rapidity. The Little prince leaves it with certain sorrow, since him there sympathizes this man who fulfills his duty without questioning it, and at the same time, one regrets losing the successive puttings of the Sun that were taking place in that world.

    The sixth planet was lived by a geographer surrounded with maps and books. It confuses the Little prince with an explorer, and asks him for news and details of his world. On having spoken to him about the flower, the geographer him informs that the flowers are ephemeral, that is to say, they are destined to eliminate, which wakes remorses up in the Little prince , for having made her alone.

    Im agree with jose Daniel I didn’t like the different’ s kings that had the asteroids

    Hi all!

    I will talk about little prince´s book chapters 9-15.

    So little prince have decided to leave his country. I have been thinking he is tooking advantage of a migration of wild birds. But, before he is levaing his country, he have been puting all in it´s perfect order. Little prince have cleaning each side of his county. Also, he started to clean all the volcanos of the country. Little prince also have been cleaning the shoots of the baobabs. He´s believing he don´t want to return to his country any more. But now he´s seeing the beautiful things he had been doing since we arrived there, but, for him, it was time to say GOOD-BYE, so I can´t discuss that with him. But we meet the flower. It seemed she might motivate us to don´t leave that place, but she also said us, "you said you want go, so, go out now". Little prince have not realised she was crying. He just continued his way.

    But we started to have troubles. Little prince have started to travel into to much asteroids. Like one in which there was a king with too much power. Little prince asked him why we had to much power, but he didn´t receive answer. Then we fell into a planet in which there was the conceited man, which only wish was to being admired and acclaimed. Little prince asked him, why he wanted to have to much power and admiration, but little prince finished without any answer. Next we meet a drinker or tippler. This visit was short because little prince didn´t like it so much. The tippler had a collection of empty bottles and full bottles. Little prince asked him why he was drinking, and this time, the answer was that he had forgotten it. For little prince, it isn´t other question without answer. The following planet was the business man planet. He was in the stars, without taking account about little prince´s arrivement. Little prince decided to went out. It hadn´t sense to continue talking for himself. The next planet was smallest than the other ones. But no too much interesting. Just a lamplighter was living there, and he was lost. He didn´t distinguish the puttings of the sun. The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. It was inhabited by an old gentleman who wrote voluminous books. Little prince just got confused on that planet. Many questions the man did to him and he decided to keep his mouth closed. But then, the man said little prince about flowers. He told they were ephemerals, that mean they destiny were to being deleted. Then little prince felt sorry, for leaving the flower alone.

    I liked the way in which little prince tryed to fing a new home, but I didn´t like the way in which the people in the planets ignored him.

    That´s all!

  4. Hi all !!!!!

    I'm going to continue telling you the story about the little prince "chapters 9-15"...

    Do you remember that the little price knew that the flower wasn't for him now we're going to continue...

    The little prince had decided to leave his country forever, so he was putting all in order, he was cleaning volcanoes, shoots of baobabs and everything to don't be feeing sad, because he was thinking to leave his country alone and with any protection so he just was cleaning, the little princes face had been one time by other putting more sad , until one day they had met the flower again and they were waiting for a: "Please, don't go away", but she only had said this: "Go away, there's no problem for me". The little prince had started to worry one more time, he had known a lot of nature and new things and he was losing them, but the little prince have been sure to go away so he did.

    The little prince's travel was just starting, at his travel had started to have troubles, the little prince had started to fly into much asteroids, they had arrived in one that had a powerful king, the little price had too much questions to the king, but he was thinking in one that was so important, "Why do you have too much power?” The little prince had asked it more than one time but he had leaved the asteroid of the king without a certain answer.

    Then the little prince had been flying hour and then the little prince was arriving in a different asteroid, the planet of a conceited man, the man only was wanting power and admiration, the little prince one more time had another little question that was interesting: "Why do you want admiration and power?" One more time the little prince had leaved the asteroid without a certain answer.

    Next to the conceited mans planet there was another asteroid with a drinker, the little prince had too much questions, the little prince hadn't had seen any drinker, but the little prince was worrying because of the drinker, the visit had been so short because of it, ut in the short rime of visiting the drinker, he showed to the little prince his collection of empty and full bottles, the little prince was thinking in a question that had been asked like this: "Why do you like to drink?", but the drinkers answer had been said different than to others it was: " I have forgotten it", the little prince had decided to don't go anymore to the drinkers planet.

    Then the little price was arriving in another planet, the business man planet, they didn’t had take count the little prince so the little prince was thinking that the business man planet didn’t have had sense so he had leaved it definitely.

    The next planet had got into the little princes mind like the small one, It was small but so interesting because, there was living a lamplighter, it was so different to the little prince because the man had been crazy for a lot of years, it was too much liked he didn't had distinguished the sun.

    he next planet was very huge, there was living an old gentleman who was writing big books, the little prince was getting very confused because there was a lot of information, the little prince had got mad, it was getting day by day, hour by hour every time was getting boring until, the gentleman talked to the little prince about flowers, he had always believed that they are ephemerals, and that is very true, the flowers are getting a lot of danger and their destiny is being killed. The little prince had felt sorry for the flower, his last love, so he had been worried of the flower.

    I liked the little prince did a lot of questions to find a new home and learned interesting things, i didn't like what the little prince was ingnored at the bussines man planet, and the form that the little prince had got worried of his love, the flower.

    Bye, bye. :)

    Hi!!!
    The little prince decided to leave his country and go to explore other worlds
    The first country was that a alone king was very bossy and this king th worlds he control, all the planet, all the stars, all the people of the universe, if you say'' In this moment I want to see a sunset the king ''say to the sun'', please come here and let he to see a sunset, all the things in this planet. In this moment the little prince say Goodbye strange kind.

    The second world was the beautiful king, the little prince came and the king says, you want to applause me? Yes ok begins. The little prince says ok. After 5 minutes the little prince was tired. The little prince says to the king. You are alone? But the king didn't answer anything, and he say I only answered to praised.

    The little prince understand that this king think that he was the only rich men and hot men. The little prince said goodbye.
    Another country lived a drunk that was a king and the prince said this king maybe was happy but it wasn’t really. This king live alone and this planet was very small and was unhappy because he felt shame with all the people and with himself. The little prince say to him why not stop drinking? But the king answered I want it but I didn't do this because I love the alcoholic drink. The king said to the little prince: go to another country because this country is a mess and the little prince say ok take care yourself.
    In this country live a businessman, in this moment the little prince listen a man that repeated all the time number and numbers and the little prince said what you count and the men say my stars and the little prince said if the stars are for all and the men answered no the stars are mine and point and the little prince said you are stupid and went to other world.

    The other country live a king with a bluff and the little prince say that it was the most small planet he see in his life. The king in his country control the time the day and the night and the little prince say yes already I find a good work in all the planets but the king say it was years ago because in this moment the day and the night lasted 1 minute and he say all the minutes good morning, good night... But the little prince has an idea that if he walks very slowly he can sleep more and be lazy because the king loves be lazy and sleep. The king says this world is very small going to another country and the little prince say ok and remember: sleep...


    In this country live an old men that love the old books and the prince said you read this books if you are an explorer o my god you are an explorer? No answered the old man but I find explorers to investigate this world, if we had mountains or rivers or oceans something like that why? You are an explorer and the prince say no I was traveling in different countries and this country is the biggest one is very beautiful...

    For me this part of the book was perfect because the little prince can know other people and tthe different personalities of the different kings.

    I like all this part because for me is very important to know different people and in this case, in this part i like all the chapters and all the parts.

    The chapter I like the mast was the chapter number 15 because I love adventure books and in this part tell us a small stories of adventure and i love the love people...

  6. Hi all!
    I`m going to continue with the story!
    Hum.. Where I finished?...
    Oh I remember! Here is!
    The little prince decided to leave his planet and before he left, he cleaned out his extinct volcano. The little prince believed that he would never want to return, so in the morning he watered the flower for the last time and prepared to place her under the shelter of her glass globe, but something was wrong, he realized that he was much closed to tears. ``Goodbye`` he said to the flower, but she didn`t answered, so the little prince said it again; the flower answered him saying that she wanted him only to be happy, also she said him that she loved him and that she didn`t want the glass globe any more. But the little prince was worried about the flower and he showed her all the dangers that she might have without the glass globe, but it didn`t matter, the flower wasn`t afraid of any of them so the flower said goodbye to the little prince trying not to show that she was going to cry.
    The Little prince found himself in the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329 and 330. He began by visiting them in order to add to his knowledge. The first of them was inhabited by a king, who shows off a great power but who at the same time demonstrated to lack subjects to exercise him. He asked little prince to remain with him, but the little prince decides to continue his trip.
    The second planet where the little prince went was inhabited by a conceited man, there the conceited man asked to the little prince if he admires him, but the little prince didn`t know what was ``admire`` so the conceited man explained it to the little prince. And also the little prince thought that this visit was more entertaining than the visit to the kind.
    The following planet that the little prince visited was inhabited by tippler; this was a very short visit. There the tippler told the little prince that he was drinking to forget that he was ashamed of drinking.
    The fourth planet was belonged to a businessman, when the little prince arrived the businessman was saying a lot of numbers and he didn`t stop, so the little prince asked him what was counting and the businessman answered that he was counting the starts, the little prince asked the man if it is possible for one to own the starts and the businessman asked him that if you find something that belongs to nobody, it is yours. After that, the businessman said that he own the starts, because nobody else before him even thought of owning them, the little prince asked the businessman what did he do with the starts and the businessman answered that he administered them, he counted them and recounted them. But the little prince was still not satisfied.
    The next planet was very strange; it was the smallest of all. There was a lamplighter with a lamp. The lamplighter told the little prince he followed a terrible profession, but in the old days it was reasonable, he put the lamp out in the morning and in the evening he lighted it again, the little prince asked if the orders haven`t been chance and the lamplighter said that it was the problem, that the orders haven`t been chance. The little prince asked what happened then and the lamplighter said that now the planet makes a complete turn every minute.
    The little prince continued with his journey, and the sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one, and was inhabited by an old gentleman who wrote voluminous books. The little prince just got confused on that planet. The ma asked him a lot of things and the little prince decided to keep his mouth closed. But then, the man started to talk about flowers. He told they were ephemerals, that mean they destiny were to being deleted. Then little prince felt sorry, for leaving the flower alone.
    What I liked the most was the ninth chapter when the little prince and the flower say goodbye to each other; but basically all the chapters from ninth to fifteen were really interesting for me, talking about all the journeys that the little prince did and all the things and people that he met.

    That`s all!
    Hope you enjoy it!

    hi all
    this is my blog chapers 9-15
    The little Prince decides to leave his planet .the price say- I have been decides to take advantage of the flight of a flock of birds to leave their world. Before leaving, cleans the volcanoes, pruning the baobabs and says goodbye and I love you to the flower, which tells him that he loves him and he asks for apology for have failed to understood, at the time who complains to the Prince have been as silly as it. Flower hurried to the little Prince so split unless you see it weep.
    The little Prince started a journey by other asteroids. The first visited was inhabited by a King, who appears to hold great power but at the same time evident lack of subjects to exercise it. She asks the Prince to stay with him, but the little Prince decides to continue their journey
    The second planet who visited the little Prince was inhabited by a vain, whose only desire is that they sing it and admire it. The little Prince, before leaving him, asks him what it is that they admire it without response.
    The next planet visited by the little Prince was inhabited by a drinker a drunkard who dranks to forgot that it has shame of dranking, which leaves the baffled Prince. The Prince then visit a planet inhabited by a businessman, who trafficked with the stars: the account, register them, in the end, possesses them. The little Prince scolds you that that is not of any utility to the stars, leaving bewildered businessman The next planet was inhabited by a bluffer and their bluff, which ignited and turned off quickly, since their planet revolves very quickly. The little Prince leaves him with some regret, because this man who fulfills his duty without questioning him sympathetic to him, and at the same time, regrets losing successive sunsets in the world. The sixth planet was inhabited by a geographer, surrounded by maps and books. It confuses the little Prince with a browser, and asks news and details of their world. You talking about flower, geographer informs him that flowers are ephemeral, i.e., are destined to disappear, which awaken remorse in the little Prince, for leaving it alone .
    I like that the prince before he travel he control the baobabs and he say I love you to the flower and other think I like much is when the flower hurried the prince because she whish that the prince don’t see she crying .and other think I like much is when the prince visit a planet he tried to teach a the king to became more friendly and pacific .and the think I like so much is that the prince remorse for leaving alone the flower because she can disappear.

  9. Part 1
    Hi
    I’m going to talk about the chapters IX to Chapter XV of the history, the little prince by Antoine de saint-Exupéry
    Chapter IX
    The little prince takes advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds to travel to other planets. In the morning before his departure, he puts his planet in perfect order. He carefully cleans out his active volcanoes. He has two active volcanoes; and they are very convenient for heating his breakfast in the morning. He also has one volcano that is extinct. But, as he says, “One never knows!” So he cleans out the extinct volcano, too. If they are well cleaned, volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any eruptions. Volcanic eruptions are like fires in a chimney.

    Chapter X

    He finds himself in the neighborhood of the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330. He begins, therefore, by visiting them, in order to add information to his knowledge.
    The first of them is inhabited by a king. Clad in royal purple and ermine, he is seated upon a throne which is at the same time both simple and majestic. "Ah! Here is a subject," exclaimed the king, when he saw the little prince coming.
    Come closed¨, so that I may see you better," said the king, who felt consuming proud of being at last a king over somebody. The little prince looks everywhere to find a place to sit down; but the entire planet was crammed and obstructed by the king's magnificent ermine robe. So he remained standing upright, and, since he is tired, he yawns.
    Chapter XI

    The second planet is inhabited by a conceited man. "Ah! Ah! I am about to receive a visit from an admirer!" he exclaimed from afar, when he first sees the little prince coming. For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
    Good morning," says the little prince. "That is a queer hat you are wearing.""It is a hat for salutes," the conceited man replies. "It is to rise in salute when people acclaim me. Unfortunately, nobody at all ever passes this way." "Yes?" says the little prince, who do not understand what the conceited man is talking about."

    Chapter XII

    The next planet is inhabited by a tippler. This is a very short visit, but it plunges the little prince into deep dejection.
    "What are you doing there?" the prince says to the tippler, who he sits down in silence before a collection of empty bottles and also a collection of full bottles. "I am drinking," replies the tippler, with a lugubrious air."

    ReplyDelete
  10. Part 2

    Chapter XIII
    The fourth planet belongs to a businessman. This man is so much occupies that he does not even raise his head when little prince arrive
    "Good morning," the little prince says to him. "Your cigarette has gone out." "Three and two make five. Five and seven make twelve. Twelve and three make fifteen. Good morning. Fifteen and seven make twenty-two. Twenty-two and six make twenty-eight. I haven't time to light it again. Twenty-six and five make thirty-one. Phew ! Then that makes five-hundred-and-one-million, six-hundred-twenty-two-thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one." "Five hundred million what?" asked the little prince. "Eh?
    Chapter XIV
    The fifth planet is very strange. It is the smallest of all. There is just room on it for a street lamp and a lamplighter. The little prince is not able to reach any explanation of the use of a street lamp and a lamplighter, somewhere in the heavens, on a planet which has not people, and not one house. But he says to himself, nevertheless:"It may well be that this man is absurd. But he is not so absurd as the king, the conceited man, the businessman, and the tippler. For at least his work has some meaning. When he lights his street lamp, it is as if he has brought one more star to life, or one flower. When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
    That is a beautiful occupation. And since it is beautiful, it is truly useful."
    Chapter XV
    The sixth planet is ten times larger than the last one. It is inhabited by an old gentleman who writes voluminous books."Oh, look! Here is an explorer!" he exclaims to himself when he sees the little prince coming. The little prince sits down on the table and panted a little. He has already traveled so much and so far!"Where do you come from?" the old gentleman says to him."What is that big book?" says the little prince. "What are you doing?""I am a geographer," the old gentleman says to him."What is a geographer?" asked the little prince."A geographer is a scholar who knows the location of all the seas, rivers, towns, mountains, and deserts.""That is very interesting," says the little prince.
    -I like the most part, when the little prince, was apologizes with the flower, and traveled for others planets.
    - I don’t like most, when he asks for what use be admired.
    - I don’t like most, when the little prince, said goodbye to the flower and left his planet.
    Thanks for your time

    Teacher I'm make the work in to parts becaus the work is long

    Hi!!

    In this chapter the little prince was in his planet, and the flower said that she was stupid flower, because the little prince did take care, and flower needed the help, or the flower had not grown. The little prince said that he wanted much this flower, and he forgave the flower.
    Because the little prince love it. The little prince had to go, so didn't the long farewell. The little prince who reached a very curious planet, the planet was alone except that there was a very bossy king but this king was the most Bossier of the universe, and the king did not greet the little prince. The little prince said if the king was happy and the king said yes why not because when he commanded something, everyone doing what he said, and also paid attention nature for example when the bossy king said that the stars changed places the stars changed places. The little prince could not believe. But the little prince think that your planet wasn’t evening sun, and asked the king if he was saying please could evening sun on your planet, and the king say, I usually do not do these favors because if something goes wrong the fault will be mine and not of someone, but the king bossy I'll be the favor. The little prince had to leave this planet and travel to another. The second planet the king of this planet was a drinker king, but the little prince got tired of seeing it take as much booze, and to say so many silly, the little prince left this planet. The third planet was very boring because was a king very vain and the king vain just wanted attention from others more than little prince. And the king vain was very envious and arrogant also not greet the little prince, and the king vain like being told how beautiful it was. But the little prince didn’t like the personality of the king vain so he left the planet. The third planet was curious because the king of this planet was a king business because the little prince arrived on the planet and the king wasn't greeting and continued counting the stars. The little prince said why he was counting the stars, and the business kink said because was my stars. And he always was counting the stars to know how many had. But the little prince didn’t like this idea the little prince did think that the stars were all and we were all belonged. But the king say Nobody has bought the stars and no one claimed the stars so then because he could not have. the prince was confused so he left this planet . The another planet that was the rarest and smallest, on this planet only had a lantern and a lamplighter was greeting very well the little prince but lamplighter was very rarest he was extinguished the lantern and then did lit it and it said good morning and so on until finally the lamplighter told the prince that this planet is going very fast time. That an hour was a second and a month was thirty-five minutes. The little prince had to go to another planet and came to other planet to five times larger than the previous, the king of this planet was a king geographer and the king was studing river, oceans, mountains, earth, but was curios because in this planet there was nothing that.
    Thanks!!

  12. Hi all….

    I’ll talk about chapters 9-15

    Chapter IX... The little prince was prepared to leave his home, so visit the volcanoes and take off the last baobab. After he said "Goodbye" to the flower and she said little prince "try to be happy ".that she would be fine and scare away the animals with their claws. The flower didn’t want that nobody see her crying.

    Chapter X... The little prince departed to other planets. In the first, he found a king. This king rule all, the prince thought that he was an absolute monarch, but when he heard that the king also rule the planets and stars, he believed he was a universal monarch. The prince asked him the king that he ordered the sun to be put before him, but the king was saying that could only order things that people or, in this case, the sun could do. So the prince decided to leave but the king didn’t want to leave, he told gave him the post of minister of justice, and that a rat could judge that he had been listening. The little prince, at last, he was. In conclusion the king was very wise and reasonable, but wanting to have power.

    Chapter XI... The little prince arrived in a planet in which there was a conceited, who think that everyone admire him. The little prince was clapping for five minutes until the conceited told her that if he admired him, but the little prince was saying that he was alone, so hadn't no one more to admire. The little prince went out and continues with their travel.

    Chapter XII... In the third planet that the little prince arrived, he saw a drinker. The little prince discovered that the drinker was drinking to forget the shame he had, that was drinking. So the little prince said that the adults were odd, and he continuous.

    Chapter XIII... The little prince, who was already on the fourth planet, saw a business man who liked to count the number of things, such as the stars. While business man counts the stars, the little prince asked many questions as who were the stars, among others. Business man couldn’t concentrate, so the little prince told him that he had been watering her flower and went to the fifth planet.

    Chapter XIV…When the little prince arrived at the fifth planet, which was the smallest, saw a lamp and a lamplighter, who did not like his job because never, he could sleep because the time ran so fast on that planet and had to be on and off the lamp every minute. The little prince gave him an idea for this sleep, but that idea didn’t like the lamplighter. So the little prince said goodbye and went off to the next planet.

    Chapter XV...In the sixth planet the prince found a geographer and he done many questions about the mountains, rivers, deserts and seas. The little prince began to describe his planet, he said he had three volcanoes and a flower, but the geographer said that the flowers were dying there, was where the little prince remembered his flower and that he had left her alone. Finally, the little prince asks the geographer which would be a good place to go, and he answered that the earth. The prince goes on there, but it is thinking is his flower.
    _____________________________________________________

    Personal Opinion… It's a fun book, I enjoy it. I liked that the little prince would like to know and learn more with the questions he ask by people he knows in his travels.

    I like - I didn’t like… I liked that the little prince travel for meet and make friends. I like the king because it was a very reasonable and wise; I also like the lamplighter because it was a very hard worker and faithful to his work. I didn’t like the people as the drunkard, the conceited, the geographer and business man, because they are people that the only thing they care about is to be good and not think about the others.

    Chapter I like the most… The chapter I liked the most was the number 14 with the lamplighter, because it seemed to me fun that he have to be every minute by turning on and off the lamp because the time passed fast on that planet.

    That’s all…

    Hi all!!
    The little prince was dedicated to carry his flower. And he does a globe to protect it from the wind and the animals. He was very worried about the birds. But the birds were in their migration. In the morning of the game the planet was in order.
    so that everything was in harmony he decide to go to the volcano’s and disregarded them.
    He said that the eruptions of a volcano were like the firelight. In our country we are to small to clean our own volcano’s that’s why we have so much problems whit them.
    The little prince go to visit others asteroids. to find another work .the first that he found there was a king that demand that his authority was respected . he was the absolute monarch or rather the universal monarch who had not govern. the little prince begged the king not to leave him alone that gave him the job he wanted in his government.
    on the second planet was inhabited by a conceited. for this the men are admirers others
    the vain asked the little prince to hit your hands together and this raised his hat and salute modestly
    this seemed more fun than a visit to the king and continued hitting her hands until five minutes after he got tired of the boredom of the game.
    but there was nothing to do to change things. he was the only person who lived on the planet. the little prince got bored and went.
    He go to the next planet and found a drinker. this visit was very brief because much saddened to the little prince
    the fourth planet they came was that of a man who was so busy that even when I get up the cabesa the prince.
    he was stunned by the presence of the prince and said, in the fifty-four years of living on this planet only bothered me three times. the first was for twenty-two years, fell a bumblebee god knows where. was a horrible sound country and committed four errors in a sum. the second time was eleven years ago by an attack of rheumatism. I need exercise but i have no time. I am a very serious and precise. and the third time you little prince
    that you use to have so much wealth - said the little prince- if you are not important to them-continued
    the businessman did not find answers and the little prince left .
    the fifth planet was the smallest of all.
    living on the bluff and a lamplighter that could serve. at least its job if it made sense when you switch it can give birth to a star or a flower and when not put to sleep, this if it is a very useful occupation. this is the only one from whom I could have made friends - said pricipito-but-continuous planet is very small for both.

    the sixth was ten times more vast than the others, a wise geographer bout the era geographer who knew where are rivers, mountains. geography are the most valuable of all books never go out of fashion, is very rare that a mountain changes, it is very rare that an ocean loses its water, eternal things are written.
    the geographer told to the little prince to go and visit the planet earth that has good reputation and the prince departed.
    seeyou later!!!

    Hi all!
    I´m going to talk about the chapters 9 to 15 of the little prince, ok let’s start...

    In this part of the story the little prince start saying that he want to explore other planets, and he tell it to the flower that was sad and angry but she decide to let him to go and don´t say nothing.
    The little prince start his travel the first planet that he arrive was small and there was a king that was really bossy and the little prince notice it so they start to talk and the king said that he ruled over all the little prince was confused, but he want that the king commanded the sun too, so he could watch the sunset but that did not said you have to respect the decisions of others and send them when you want that the things happen you have to give it time.
    The second planet where he arrive was small to but in this one there was a conceited man that thought that all admired him and that he was the best around all the universe so the little prince where very confused and decided to go from there.
    At the third planet there was a tippler that was very “Ashamed of drinking, and he was drinking to try to forgot that

    At the next planet there was a businessman that was “engaged” he was accounts doing something the little prince wants’ to know and he said that he was the owner of the stars because no one had gone before and decided it would be the owner of the stars

    The next planet was really small there was only room for a street lamp and a lamplighter. That was the wan that the lamplighter was in charge, or rather the one who was there that lit up and turned off the lamp that said when it was night and day one day on your planet was just a minute so that the little prince stay thirty days is one month!

    The last planet was big there was a old gentleman that was a geographer is the one that wrote about all the seas, rivers, mountains and deserts there, the little prince seemed he had finally found a profession and serious , so we asked him what was in his world but he was told that only explorers know that because he said he did not know he just stayed in his desk and nothing else, the little prince asked what was the most extraordinary planet that had talk about and he said that was the earth and that was the first time that he hear about the earth.



    Personal opinion
    Ok for me this part of the story is very funny especially when he meet the businessman that has said “I’m the owner of the stars and the little prince was very confused ,I think that the story is like our life, you have met to much different people and you have to know how to talk to them and don´t be impolite with they and other think that I think is that when you meet a person is another word and I think that is the message of this part of the story for me; and the think I like the most is the little prince is so polite and he ever try to respect the people that he have met one thing that I really don´t like was the personality of the conceited man because he think that everyone admire he and I don´t like that kind of persons so that´s why i don´t like that.
    That´s all
    Thanks for read i hope you enjoy it
    Bye!

    Hi all
    The little prince is cleaning his planet. He is pulling up the volcanoes, cutting shoots of baobabs he is preparing everything to leave. He has put his flower under a glass globe. And he said to the flower that he wanted to leave his planet.
    He was talking with the flower and she said that she had not been afraid. She was a brave and proud flower. She said that because she is in love with he and she wanted to free him. After all, the little prince was taking advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds.
    The little prince decided to know his neighborhood. He went to the king’s planet, and there he stayed meeting the monarch. That gubernator every time wanted to give orders and to be obeyed.
    Then, they are talking, but the little prince is very exhausted and stars to yawn. The king dislikes that, and ordered him to stop yawn. The little prince explains to the king why he was yawning, so the king ordered him to yawn again.
    They continued talking, but the little prince was bored. He asked the king over what he was governing. The king answered he governs over everything. The little prince asked if he governed over all stars too, and the king answered yes.
    The little prince was wondering if he was that power, he could see the sunsets more times than forty-four. He asked the king to order the sun to set, but he said that the situation did not be favorable. The king explains that if he gives an order when the time was not favorable, he could be disobeyed, and it could bring a revolution.
    The little prince wanted to go back to his planet, but the king didn’t want so. And he offered many things before he leave, but the little prince didn’t accepted them, and he left.
    On the second planet the prince visits, he encounters a vain man, who asks the prince to clap his hands and then modestly tips his hat in gentle way. The prince enjoys the game at first but begins to tire of its monotony. The vain man asks whether the little prince really admires him, but the prince does not understand the meaning of the word “admire.” The vain man explains that he wants the prince to say he is the most intelligent, good-looking, and wealthy man on the planet, the prince says, “I admire you,” but he asks why his admiration means anything to the man. The prince visits a third planet, where he meets a drunkard. When the prince asks the drunkard why he drinks, the drunkard claims that he drinks to forget. Feeling pity, the prince inquires what the drunkard wants to forget. The drunkard answers that he is trying to forget that he is ashamed of his drinking. Confused, the little prince continues his journey, observing that grown-ups are very, very strange.
    The little prince visits a fourth planet, which is occupied by a businessman so immersed in numerical calculations that the man hardly acknowledges the little prince. The little prince, who never lets a question go unanswered, repeatedly asks the businessman what he is doing. The businessman protests that he is a serious person and has no time for the little prince’s questions. Exasperated by the little prince’s persistence, the businessman eventually explains that he is counting “those little golden things that make lazy people daydream,” which the prince eventually identifies as stars. The little prince thinks that the businessman´s logic is as absurd as the drunkard´s but he accepts and leaves the planet
    I like the story because is different like others, the problems, the characters, and is very interesting that the story is about things that nobody thinks the same

  16. HI ALL!

    CHAPTERS IX-XV

    I am going to talk about a nice book written by Antoine de Saint Exupery

    Chapter IX:

    The Prince decided to leave his planet, and to take advantage of the flight of a flock of birds to leave their world for travel to others planets. Before the prince left, he cleaned the volcanoes, he had two active volcanoes; and they were very convenient for heating his breakfast in the morning. He also had one volcano that was extinct, also, he was pruning baobabs and said goodbye to the flower, which she said she loves him and apologizes for not having made your point, while she complained to Prince had been as stupid as her. The flower hurried to Prince to see his depart without mourns.

    Chapter X:

    The prince began a tour of other asteroids. The first he visited was inhabited by a King, who appeared to hold great power but at the king was very lazy and he did not do exercise. He asked the Prince to stay with him, but the Prince decided to continue his journey.

    Chapter XI:

    The second planet the Prince visited was inhabited by a conceited, whose only desire to cheer for him and admire him. Before The Prince left this planet, he asked to the conceited why did he admire him but he never answered.

    Chapter XII

    The next planet visited by the Prince was inhabited by a drinker, who forgot what he was done or what he was doing in short time, so he was ashamed of drinking but at the same time he was looking for a place where sat down and he picked up some empty and full bottles. The Prince was perplexed.

    Chapter XIII

    Then, The Prince visited a planet inhabited by a businessman who worked with illegal thing like accounts, registers and the own. When the little prince arrived to that planet the business man was counting a lot of start and did not pay much attention to the prince. He just pronounced some words while counted the starts. The Little Prince chides him that's not of any used to the stars, leaving the bewildered businessman.

    Chapter XIV

    The next planet was inhabited by a lamplighter and his lantern, which rapidly turned on and off since their planet turned very quickly. In this planet were not houses or people. The Prince left him with some regret , because he sympathized the man who did his duties without questions , and at the same time regrets lost successive sunsets that took place in that world .
    When he lights his street lamp, it was as if he had brought one more star to life, or one flower. When he put out his lamp, he sent the flower, or the star, to sleep.
    That was a beautiful occupation and it is truly useful."

    Chapter XV

    The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. It was inhabited by an old gentleman who wrote voluminous books. He was happy to see an explorer in his planet.
    This planet was inhabited by a geographer, surrounded by maps and books. A geographer was a scholar man who knew the location of all the seas, rivers, towns, mountains, and deserts.
    The Prince was very surprising but at the same time confused and asked details of his world. The prince told to the geographer that the flowers were ephemeral, and they were destined to disappear.

    My personal opinions are:

    -I like the most where the prince apologized with the flower, and then traveled to other planets.
    -I like the most when the prince visited a planet, inhabited by a businessman who count and recount the stars.
    -I like the most when the prince traveled to a planet that was inhabited by a lamplighter, his lantern, which rapidly turned on, off since their planet turned very quickly.
    -I like in the part, when she asked the Prince to stay with him.
    -I don’t like most, when the prince had to clean the planets because he had to kill the flowers.
    - I don’t like most, when he asks for what use be admired.
    - I don’t like most, when the little prince, said goodbye to the flower.

    I LIKED READING THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT TEACHES ME, THE FUN OF BEING A KID, ALL THE ADVENTURES OF THE PILOT AND THE LITTLE PRINCE. I HOPE YOU LIKED WHAT I WROTE ABOUT THE PRINCE AND ENJOY READING IT.
    THANKS ALL! , GOOD DAY.

    Hi all!!

    I'm going to continue with the story of the little prince:

    I don't remember the last blog of the little prince but I try
    I remember that the little prince love the flower and he promise to love she.

    I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds. On the morning of his departure he put his planet in perfect order. He carefully cleaned out his active volcanoes. He possessed two active volcanoes; and they were very convenient for heating his breakfast in the morning. He also had one volcano that was extinct. But, as he said, “One never knows!” So he cleaned out the extinct volcano, too.
    But on this last morning all these familiar tasks seemed very precious to him.
    And when he watered the flower for the last time, and prepared to place her under the shelter of her glass globe, he realized that he was very close to tears.
    “Goodbye,” he said to the flower.
    But she made no answer.
    “Goodbye,” he said again.
    The flower coughed. But it was not because she had a cold.
    “I have been silly,” she said to him, at last. “I ask your forgiveness. Try to be happy. . . ”
    She says she does not have to put the glass she has to learn to live alone but he tells the animals air and she tells him much going to have to put up with two or three tracks and the rest is was also accustomed butterflies were very beautiful like her, she tells him that the fence had decided to leave but she did not want to leave her alone that wanted him to be out to mourn because she had a great pride.

    He found himself in the neighborhood of the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330. He began, therefore, by visiting them, in order to add to his knowledge. The first visit is inhabited by a king , who appears to hold great power but at the same time subjects lacking evidence for exercise he tells the prince that as recognized as fast and said he had seen very well ask that if you could stay with him in that asteroid and he said he could not that he had to follow his journey.

    The second planet was inhabited by a conceited man.
    Whose only desire is to cheer for him and admire him, The Prince, before leaving, I asks for what use be Admired, no response.
    The prince said to ask the all admire me even if it's only on this planet the little prince said he seemed very strange so decided to continue their journey.

    The next planet visited by the Prince was inhabited by a drinker the prince to ask him because he drank drinker told him to forget that I wanted to ask him to forget and he said forget drinking the prince decided to leave the prince said that was very rare so decided to continue their journey.

    The Prince then visit a planet inhabited by a businessman who traffics in the stars : the account , registers , finally, the own. The Little Prince chides him that's not of any use to the stars , leaving the bewildered businessman .

    The next planet was inhabited by a lamplighter and his lantern, which rapidly turned on and off since their planet turned very quickly. The Prince leaves him with some regret, because he sympathizes this man who does his duty without question, and at the same time regrets lost successive sunsets that took place in that world. so the king told that because they spend time with him but he says that he needs so finish your trip goes and decides to end their journey.

    The sixth planet was inhabited by a geographer, surrounded by maps and books. Confuses the Prince with a browser, and asks news and details of their world. In speaking of the flower, the geographer informs you that the flowers are ephemeral, ie, are destined to disappear, raising the Prince remorse for leaving her alone is very sad to that what he says geographer and regrets leaving single flower.

    What I liked the most was the ninth chapter when the little prince and the flower say goodbye to each other.

    The part of the story of the prince who did not like was that the prince geographer it will digest the flower and put the little prince so sad for her.

    thanks all!!!

    In this part of the book, the Little prince left his planet and started exploring the other planets nearby, he prepared all his planet, he also said goodbye to his flower ant then the flower let her feelings out, she apologized for being so fool and showed her regret for showing no respect with the little prince, well, after all those tears and sentimentality he said goodbye to B-216 and he stared his trip and got into a tiny planet where there was only a king on the planet.

    He said oh, a subject, because all kings thing any other person are subjects then the little prince started asking him what was he king of, and he said that he was king of EVERYTHING in the sky and the nearby planets, even the stars and the sun, then , he remembered that he relaxed watching sunsets, so he said the king “if you have got all those power, could you say the sun to set” then he answered, we´ve wait until it´s time, because I can´t order irrational things, said the king, because I can´t ask a general to become a seabird or ordering a flower being a rock, because there if the flower or the general doesn’t do it, it would be my fault, not of them, then ,the little prince was sad because the king was all alone but he said that he gotta go, but the king offered him various diplomatic charges, but the little prince denied the offer and continued on his trip, later he left the planet and thought “all the grown-ups are so odd

    The next planet was inhabited by a conceited man, who was only looking for admiration about, well, anything, when he saw the little prince coming, he said, oh, a fan, the little prince greeted him and the conceited man said: could you clap your hands, he little prince did it again and again, until he got bored because of doing the same thing many times so he left the conceited man and continued his trip. Because the grown- ups are so odd.

    Then the little prince landed in a planet where a tippler lived, the tippler had a huge collection and was drinking, well, he is a tippler, that is what tipplers do, the little prince asked the tippler why he drank, the tippler answered: to forget, to forget what? The little prince asked to forget that I’m ashamed, ashamed of what? The little prince asked. Ashamed of drinking!
    THE GROWN-UPS ARE VERY, VERY ODD, said the little prince.
    The next planet belonged to a business man, who was so occupied in his matters that he hardly noticed the little prince´s arrival, he was making fast additions, the business man was counting the stars, the man thought that all the stars belonged to him, and he also wanted to sell the stars
    The next planet belonged to a lamplighter who had to turn on and off a lamp, but , because his planet was really, really small and he had to turn on/off a light every minute. That´s not very interesting, the little prince left him and visited another planet, at least ten times the other planets the little prince had seen, where lived a geographer, an old gentleman writing big books, the little prince asked him what was he doing, and he answered that he was a geographer and that he studied the planets and their contents, and the little prince asked him how many mountains, rivers or oceans did his planet had, and he answered “I don´t know” my job is to write and draw what explorers bring to me, new data about the different places in our universe ,and the little prince asked him if there was a good planet where he could go and the gentleman answered “I would advice you to go to the planet earth”


    PERSONAL OPINIONS

    -the book in general was so good because it makes us to think in what we are doing and if we are like the king, or like the conceited man, or like the tippler, or like the business man.

    -the only thing I don´t liked about the book was that the adults are put like the villains and it is not like that, we owe all we have to them, even if there weren´t adults we would never be able to read this book.

    -my favorite chapter was the chapter 2 because it shows us that we need each other for everything

    HI TODAY IM GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE LITTLE PRINCE 9-15

    The little prince decided to leave his planet forever, so he put all in order because he though he would never come back to his planet. When he was watering the flower he was much in tears; he said ''Goodbye'' to the flower, but she didn't answered so the little prince said it again and the flower answered him saying that she waht him only to be happy and also she said that she loves him. After they say goodbye to each other, the little prince started his journey.
    The little prince found his self in the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329 and 330; first he arrived somewhere that was inhabited by a powerful kind and the kind only though in have a lot of power and the little prince asked to kind why have a lot of power was so important to him, but the little prince left the asteroid without a certain answer.
    Then the little prince arrived to another asteroid that was inhabited by a conceited man, this time the man wanted all to admire him, but the little prince didn't know what was ''admire'' so the conceited man explained to the little prince what was admire; almost the little prince though that this visit was more interesting than the visit to the kind.
    In the next asteroid lived a drinker, the little prince was really frustrated because he think that the life is not for just stay in a chair and drink, the visited had been short, because the drinker just think in drinke, the drinker just drink because he want to desappear all his sadnesses , the little prince think that that was stupid, because if want to desappear all the sadnesses he just could think in other thinks. The little prince had decided to don't go anymore to the drinkers planet.
    Then the little prince was arriving in another planet, there lived a business man, he dind't had take count about the little prince, then the little prince had asked what he was doing and he said that he had to counted all his stars, the little prince was pretty confused because he think that the stars don't had owner, so he think that the planet have bad sense, so he had leaved it definitely.
    The next planet had got into the little prince mind like the smallest one, it was small, but it also was beautiful, there live a bluffer, he was so different because he was the only persons that he know in the travel, that didn't think in his self, it was too much liked he didn't had distinguished the sun.
    His next planet was very huge, there lived an old gentleman who was writing big books, the little prince, was getting very confused because there was a lot of information, the little prince had got mad, it was getting day by day, hour by hour every time was getting boring until, the man talked to the little prince abaut flowers, he had always believed that they are a precius think , and that is very true, the flowers are getting a lot of danger and their destiny is bing killed, the little prince had felt sorry for the flower, his last love.

    I liked a lot the little prince because, he want answers about a lot of different thinks, he also want to find a new home, i like a lot when he was with the bluffer and he just think that he could be the only to be his friend because he didn't think just in him self and he work hard knowing the he was alone, just because he like it and he have to.


    THANKS!!!
