(P10) Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was a French writer and pilot. As a young boy, he was obsessed with aeroplanes, riding in one for the first time at the age of 12. He spent much of his life flying and writing about his adventures. Saint-Exupéry’s most successful work, The Little Prince, is one of the best-selling books ever published. The story was probably inspired by his plane crash in the desert in 1935. Saint-Exupéry nearly died, and wandered around for four days before being rescued. In 1944, Saint-Exupéry left on a wartime mission over occupied France, from which he never returned. Although the remains of his plane were discovered in 2000, his body has never been found, and the cause of his death remains unknown.

They seldom pay attention to imagination or creativity. If I pretend to think the way they do, the adults will conclude that I am sensible and mature. 1 … I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. (para.9) 2 And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.(para.12) Activity 8 Q2. What figure of speech does the author use? How does this figure of speech help to express the author’s attitude? Irony. This figure of speech enables the author to indicate his low opinion of adults’ behaviour and values by stressing such things. 1 … I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. (para.9) 2 And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.(para.12) Learning to learn Irony is a subtle figure of speech that refers to things one says that are the opposite of what one really means. It has a humorous, emphatic or sarcastic effect. For example: Fine, don’t buy me an airline ticket. I’ll just swim across the ocean! It must be delightful to find oneself in a foreign country without a penny in one’s pocket.. 1. Grown-ups are more practical than children. They want to teach children knowledge that will be useful in the future. 2. Grown-ups are no better than children. They lack imagination and only care about matters of consequence. 3.

Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. (Para. 7) 3. …, I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. (Para. 9) 4. I would bring myself down to his level.
