Book Review: A Little Prince
——to live nobly
In this holiday, I have read a book, which is named A Little Prince.This is a story of the 19th century, by Frances Hodgson Burnett.This book was later made into a film entitled The Little Prince.Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett was born in November 24, 1849, and died in October 29, 1924.Burnett’s father died when she was young.And her family was very poor, so she had to earn money to contribute her family.When she was 18 years old, she published her works on magazines.Burnett’s first best-seller book is That La O’ Lowries, which be published when she was 28 years old.Burnett was an English playwright and author.She devoted herself to her writing, and had written more than 40 novels.Many works of Burnett had been choose as many countries’ school’s text, such as Britain, The United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa.She is best known for her children's stories, in particular The Secret Garden, A Little Prince, and Little Lord Fauntleroy.This three books have been popular for some time.A Little Prince is a Cinderella-style children’s novel.The little heroine is a British girl, Sara Crewe.When she was born her mother died.And her father, captain Crewe was very rich in India.Sara lived in India.But when she was 7 years old, she was sent to London by her father, and studied in Women's noble boarding school which be opened by Maria Minchin.When Sara entered school, everyone treated her as a prince.However, at that day, which is Sara’s birthday, she had got a bad new—Sara’s father went to bankrupt and
died.Meanwhile, Mi.Minchin changed her attitude towards Sara.And she thought that Sara is trouble.So Mi.Minchin transformed a little prince into a humble maid.What’s more, Mi.Minchin drove Sara from the beautiful room to a cold and crude attic.Although Sara’s life was very hard, she always helps other people.There was no doubt that Sara mied her father very much.No matter what difficulties she confronted with, she could persist in.Sara lived with her friend, Becky, who went to school to be a little maid when Sara was 9 years old.They helped and comforted each other.To everyone’s surprise, Sara’s father left a major pen of inheritance for her.Her father’s friend paed by complicated, and found out her finally.So Sara became a little prince again and be took away from Mi.Minchin’s school, which made Mi.Minchin very irritated.This book not only depicted kind and strong girl—Sara, but also satirize Mi.Minchin’s snobbish attitude.Sara was a little girl, but her heart was very strong.Facing to suffering, she imagined her as a heroine who served a sentence in the Bastille to get strong power to live.Facing to hunger and ragged clothes, she was shy to get alms.But when she was very hungry, she gave bagger 5 breads, and just left one bread for herself.This is because Sara always told herself,” I am a prince”.Facing to dilapidated attic, she liked to watch sunrise and sunset, and liked to lie on the balcony to look “the big family”.Sara always can find some meaningful things to make up the hard life.It is just like a sentence which from this novel:” If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart, and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and
you can give things out of that-warm things, kind things, sweaty things-help and comfort and laughter”.Sara just was a little girl.When she was a true prince, and had beautiful clothes and all kinds of toys, she helped her little partners who are ragged servants.And she told stories to them.When she became a maid who lived in dilapidated attic even lived with moue, she told herself,” Although I wore rags, I am a prince in my heart.” She believed that” I am a prince.All girls are, even if they live in tiny old attics;even if they dre in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young.They're still princees.” This belief accompanied her to spend the hardest time in her life.I can remember a sentence that said by Sara:” When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word-just to look at them and think.”
A Little Prince is a story which can teach me that how to be a nobly girl.Never look down upon myself.Maybe, I can believe that, however, there must have magic to make me look golden light in dark.No matter what difficulty we get, I should told myself,” I am a prince, I must live nobly”.英语1001班
