From what have been analyzed above and these comparisons between the little prince and the adults, we can see the little prince is very different from those adults. This dissertation concludes that the little prince is a person who has vivid imagination to think widely and has a sense of humor to be positive towards life. He also has his principles to stick and he knows what he wants and what he needs. He can see things or the situations throughout for he gets a clear mind. The little prince is a kind person. He cares about love, the meaning of life and the responsibility. Besides, he also cares about others at the same time.
But those who had forgot they have grown up from little children have not imagination. What they focus are figures or the shallow appearances. They are shallow person who see things superficially and they want things more than they need. They are confused by themselves or others and also controlled by rules. They do not care about what the little prince cares; they care nothing but their own needs.
