Questions to Discuss in Class:
1.Discuss the themes of time and death in The Little Prince. How does the prince learn to appreciate the time he has with his loved ones better, and how does it affect his relationships with them?
2. Why do some people see Drawing Number One as a simple hat, while others think it represents an elephant inside a boa constrictor? What is the meaning of these different perspectives? 3. Discuss the rose’s behavior. Why doesn’t the rose tell the little prince that she loves him? Why does he continue to love her?
4. Why is the fox so eager to be tamed by the little prince? If he already knows how to tame himself, why does he need someone else to do it for him?
5. Symbols and metaphors are present throughout The Little Prince. Why do you think Saint-Exupéry chose to tell this story in such figurative language?
6. What did you learn from The Little Prince as you considered your own life compared to the narrator's and to the prince?
7. Choose one character from the book that you liked. Analyze his/her words and actions in your own words and then compare/contrast these words and actions to those of three other characters in the book.
