CAYABYAB, PAUL ANDRE L.

1. Explain the “The State of Dislocation” on writing an exile literature.

The state of dislocation on writing an exile is more of a metaphor. It embraces not just

passionate, emotional criticism of unfair, terrible regimes, but also devastating grief for lost homes,

family, and a feeling of belonging. Exile literature will touch the soul of its audience as it encompasses

the sad and painful reality in this world.

2. How does the personal life of Antoine De Saint-Exupéry affect the way he wrote the “The

Little Prince”

During World War II, after Germany's invasion of France forced him to abandon aircraft and flee

to New York, Saint-Exupéry began writing The Little Prince. The novel's longing for childhood reflects

both Saint-homesick Exupéry's yearning to return to France and his wish to return to a peaceful era. I'd

also argue that "The Little Prince" was an attempt by him to transcend the boring political component

that had always bored him and with which he could never seem to cope. The anecdote allowed him to

explain that there are many more essential things in life, such as humanity, and that humanity is a non-

political concept.

3. Explain the significance of the “baobab” trees on the story.

It's significant because the Baobab has adapted to its surroundings throughout time. It's a

succulent, which means it collects and retains water in its massive trunk during the rainy season,

allowing it to produce nutrient-dense fruit during the dry season when everything else is dry and barren.

As a response, it was entitled "The Tree of Life."

4. What particular part of the story makes the “The Little Prince” a great books? 

Because it focuses on childhood, imagination, and the inevitability of growing up, "The Little

Prince" is a timeless story. What made it a part of the great books is the part where  the pilot loses

contact with that aspect of himself. To find it again, it takes an aircraft accident, a stay in the desert, and

some time with the tiny prince. The Little Prince emphasizes that the duties imposed by interpersonal

connections lead to a better knowledge and respect of one's own responsibilities to the world in

general.

5. How would you agree with this one “Eyes are blind. One must look with the heart”.

The speaker sees with their eyes, but the individuals he or she is speaking about see with their

emotions. This permits you to see what is important, regardless of what your eyes view. Imagine a world

in which everything you felt or did was based only on what you could see with your eyes.

The abovementioned phrase also portrays an action with purity and sincerity, if we will only

base on what we are seeing, it will be hard for us to be passionate as we are only basing our actions and

emotions as well as our decisions on what we are seeing rather than basing on the true essence of each

matter.
