My thoughts of 'The Little Prince' This week I had to read 'The Little Prince' translated into English. Tell you the truth, I haven't finished reading the book yet, but I definitely going to do it in the future. I think, almost all of you have read it at least once in your life, so I will not retell you this story. I noticed that something interesting happens when I read books in English: I can feel every nuance, every slight detail, which I hardly ever see if I read it in Russian. It happens because my reading speed in English is much slower as if I read a book in Russian. I can taste every letter of every single word and my reading is more attentive. That is why I was extremely impressed when I was reading the part of the book in which author drew the box for the sheep, and after that he thought about grown-ups' vision of life and their inability to see the unobvious sheep behind the obvious box. I do not know why, but I haven't stop thinking about it since I read this. When I was a little school girl, I had to write a composition about this book. I had been keeping this composition for many years, but, unfortunately, I have lost it. This work was really lovely and touching, I can remember it quite clearly, and the cutest part was about the Little Prince and me. He was looking for a friend which could understand him well, but could not find. He looked very sad because of that, and when I decided to approach him and said 'You have just found a friend, the Little Prince'. It is too cute, isn't it?
