a.) The king was the one who uttered the line, “One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform” The real life significance of this line is accepted authority rests first of all on reason. If you ordered your people to go and throw themselves into the sea, without reason, they would rise up in revolution. They will not obey king or the one who is more powerful than them just because they king want to. They have a right to decide what they want to do in themselves. People need justice. Don’t force the one who don’t know how to do it or the one who can’t do it.
b.) The meaning of “It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others” is never judge a person by its physical figure because you have no evidence to prove that a person is like a person is like a person you have been judging.
c.) The meaning of “conceited people never hear anything but praise is” is they want to be admire by other people around them even if they didn’t see it in themselves. They want to be the most of all. They want to be praise and to be interested even you do not want or it’s very far to see. They hear nothing but praise because they want to be admire such as saying that they are the handsomest, The richest, the most intelligent and more. They didn’t suffer from any hearing problem. They want that they are admired by people. Even if they hear some questions, they don’t wanna answer because again they love to be praised and to be admire. They love to hear things that are related to them about admiration…
d.) The irony of the line “I am drinking so that I may forget” is for me, if you are drinking so that you may forget that you are drinking, you cannot forget that you are drinking. If you want to forget something, you can forget it in other ways. My father said that if you drink, you can forget something. Maybe… “ I am not drinking so that I cannot forget.” Some people said that they may forget there problems by drinking. But they said that it is bad in our health.
e.) The business man wants to be rich so that he can buy more stars, if any are discovered. Many people want to be rich so that they can buy the things they want. They want to be rich just for themselves. But some people are helping others like poor people.
f.) The meaning of “There is nothing to understand. Orders are orders” that orders must be followed. You don’t need to understand if you will not follow. The orders are not changed. You have to follow a terrible profession. In real life significance, many people are making orders to be followed in many people. But some of the people are not doing it or not obeying the rules or orders. Just like the grown ups.
g.) The little prince said that the lamplighter is the one of them all whom he could have made his friend. He is the only one of them all who does not seem to him ridiculous. It is because he is thinking of something else besides himself. I agree with the little prince because it is true. In all the grown ups he meet, he was just the one who is thinking for others beside himself. He are following orders even if he just rest in a small amount of minutes.
h.) The adults are interesting in the things they like. They don’t want to explore a new thing. Like the geographer, they just waiting that someone will tell them what they saw. What if the explorer is wrong? Many people will believe even if it was wrong. The truth about the adults, that they need to see the truth first before they will write down the thing they discover. We don’t have to believe them because you trust them. We have to be sure about it.
i.) The pilot describe the planet earth that it is not just an ordinary planet. There are many grown ups there. The size of the earth is bigger than the all planets the little prince visited. I can describe the planet that it is a beautiful planet. But not all people has a good intention. Some people are bad and some are not.
j.) The snake made him say that is more powerful than the finger of a king and he also speaks in riddles because he solves all of them, cu’z the little prince said to the snake that he is a funny animal and he is no thicker than a finger.
k.) That the people has feet and they can travel anywhere. The flower is saying the truth because the people are making there lives more difficult. What if the men will lost in the middle of the desert.
