B. QUOTATION
1. "But you are the only man on your planet!" This line is my favorite becauseof the little prince tell this line to the conceited man directly. I admire the little prince because he enlighten the conceited man in front of his face.
C. SUMMARY
In Chapter 11 of "The Little Prince," the little prince visits another asteroid where he encounters a conceited man. This man mistakenly believes that the little prince is his admirer and asks him to applaud. In response, the conceited man repeatedly raises his hat in acknowledgement. Initially, the little prince finds this game amusing, but eventually, he becomes tired of the monotony and moves on to continue his journey.
D. PARAPHRASE
"To admire means that you regard me as the handsomest, the best-dressed, the richest, and the most intelligent man on this planet."
(ito yung paraphrase) “When you admire me, it means that you see me as the most attractive, well-dressed, wealthy, and intelligent person on this planet.”
E. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE/ REALIZATION
But the conceited man did not hear him. Conceited people never hear anything but praise.
-I feel that the conceited man's inability to hear the little prince reflects the self-centered nature of conceited people. They are so focused on receiving praise and admiration that they become deaf to any other perspectives or feedback. It is really frustrating when someone is unable to listen or consider different viewpoints.
