ch seperates itself from the pollution on the earth. The little prince and "I" met in the desert——a piece of pure land without desire and conflict. This is really a collision between catabolic human nature and ideal human nature. Only in this unique space far from the madding crowd can the collision of human nature arouses deep introspection. However, at the same time, the desert gives the warning as well as a gleam of hope. In the era of industrial civilization and high material level, humans are gradually alienated while they enjoy the achievements of progress. The spiritual world becomes a barren desert, which makes people live a hard life because of no root. If the barren desert expand indulgently, the humanity will certainly destroy himself. But the emergence of the little prince brings a gleam of vitality. The aspiration of the author is that the pure nature of little prince can ground in the "spirit desert" with strong vitality, bloomming and thriving. [1]

3. The Alienation of Adult World

During the interstellar travel,what the little prince saw was the alienation of adult world. A king who was greedy of power, though he only had a mouse to be his subject; a flamboyant individual, except compliments he could not hear any other words; a mercenary businessman,he was busy counting wealth all day; a shame alcoholic,he drank for forgeting his shame; a lamplighter who kept on the rails, he was busy in lighting and putting out the lamp a geography without the knowledge of rivers and sea, he focused on conducting his research...... The little prince can not understand what he saw in adult world, " Adults are strange,"he always left a word like that in a hurry.

Then what did he see on the earth ? Trains going back and forth in a hurry, the little prince asked: what are people seeking in such a hurry? Facing the people who only knew calculation and had never smelt the sweetness of flowers and never seen stars, the little prince said: this is not a man, but a mushroom. Even the businessman got the idea to sell pills that had been invented to quench thirst, so that you can save fifty-three minutes every week. The little prince was surprised: save the time for what? If it were he, he would like to spend the time walking leisurely toward a spring of fresh water. The little prince also exclaimed: people planted five thousand of roses but couldn't find the things that they need. Adults lose direction in their social and material world. What they chase for is just power, interests, vanity and hypocritical knowledge. Through the eyes of the little prince the author portrays the alienated adult world full of such persons who have not discovered the essence of life. What are those people like?

They are paranoic for right, crazy for money, can not help indulging, blind to be loyal to their duties and the doctrinaires. With the saying of the little prince: "The grown-ups are certainly altogether extraordinary ......."[3] And the blind passengers and the people who abandoned the poetic life are found on the earth. All those are the figures we can see everywhere in our real life. Just through the view of the prince who comes from the outer space, the funny behavior and absurdity of those people are magnified, which exerts the effect of defamiliarization. This actually indicates that adults in the real life have got lost and been possessed by the本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
