What is the passage mainly about?
My favorite book is the Little Prince written by the French writer Antoine.The book tells about how children see the world. It's so interesting that I can't help reading it over and over again.
The prince is kind and innocent (天真无邪的),so he doesn't understand why people want to have power, wealth and praises so much.He flew to different planets to find the answer, but finally he still had no idea. In fact, he also had his own problems. In the past, he fell in love with a red rose that was beautiful but vainglorious (自负的). Later, he left the rose because of her vanity (自负).On the earth,he made friends with a fox. They lived together for some time,but in the end he made up his mind to leave to find his rose. To his surprise,the rose was dead,and the planet was full of monkey bread trees.It's a pity that he lost his rose forever.
In my opinion, I think he should value the friendship with the fox, because, after all, the rose was dead.The friendship is important as well.The story is about friendship,love and humanity(人性).It's helpful for us students to think more about the world. So let's open it and take a great journey along with the little prince.
